ti-html2as for ios links are not clickable or not opening in browsers

[arrk-jeevank]

Hi Fokke,

i am using your ti-html2as(1.2.1) module, it working fine in andriod, but when i have implemented the same for ios then the text is displaying as Hyperlinks but those where not clickable or i can say not opening in safari or chrome browsers. Using simulators and with devices like (iphone 4s and Ipad 2) i have tested it not working.

Thanks & Regards Jeevan K Reddy

I am using Titanium sdk 3.5.1, so i had used older version of your module.

[FokkeZB]

Using an older version fixed it?

with titanium sdk 3.5.1 + ti.html2as 1.2.1 <a href=""> tag is not working. the below how i have used in IOS

<Label module="xp.ui" html="<font size=17>Hello <a href='http://www.google.com/'>www.google.com</a> world <a href='http://google/'>welcome</a>.</font>" />

[FokkeZB]

In what way is it not working?

[arrk-jeevank]

<Label module="xp.ui" html="<font size=17>Hello <a href='http://www.google.com/'>www.google.com</a> world <a href='http://google/'>welcome</a>.</font>" />

@arrk-jeevank you have to use markdown formatting to insert XML ;)

I mean, what result does that code get you? Do you have a screenshot?

[arrk-jeevank]

<Label module="xp.ui" html="<font size=17>Hello <a href='http://www.google.com/'>www.google.com</a> world <a href='http://google/'>welcome</a>.</font>" />

the links are not opening in the browser , it didn't thrown any error , it looks like hyperlink but not opening

[FokkeZB]

You did add a listener to the link event?

[arrk-jeevank]

no , i will try and let you know

[FokkeZB]

That's a requirement ;0 See http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.Label-event-link

[arrk-jeevank]

using attributed string i had tried with link event. it didn't work , so i tried to use your module it gives me the same. both didn't work . link event not getting fired

[FokkeZB]

This module also uses Attributed String, it just converts HTML to an Attributed String for you. Could you post a full code sample?

[arrk-jeevank]

var text=“hello goole (www.google.com) world”

var attr = Ti.UI.iOS.createAttributedString({
    text: text,
    attributes: [
        {
            type: Titanium.UI.iOS.ATTRIBUTE_LINK,
            value: "https://github.com/appcelerator/hyperloop",
            range: [text.indexOf('www.google.com), ('www.google.com').length]
        }  ,
        {
            type: Titanium.UI.iOS.ATTRIBUTE_LINK,
            value: "https://google.com",
            range: [text.indexOf(‘world’), (‘world’).length]
        }  
    ]
});
attr.addEventListener('link', function(e){
    Ti.API.info(JSON.stringify(e));
});

[FokkeZB]

You need to add the event listener to the label you add the attributed string to. Please check the api reference I linked above.

[arrk-jeevank]

$.type.addEventListener('link', function(e){
    Ti.API.info(JSON.stringify(e));
});

$.type.attributedString=attr;
Label tag below 
Label id="type"  class="disclamier-text">  Providing this information will help us show you the most appropriate parts of this > app</Label

Closing as I can't reproduce and seems like a Ti bug, if any.
