Overview

KINWebBrowser consists of a single component:

KINWebBrowserViewController - a UIViewController that contains a full featured web browser.

KINWebBrowserViewController must be contained in a UINavigationController.

Pushing to the navigation stack:

KINWebBrowserViewController *webBrowser = [KINWebBrowserViewController webBrowserViewController];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:webBrowser animated:YES];
[webBrowser loadURLString:@"http://www.example.com"];

Presenting Modally:

UINavigationController *webBrowserNavigationController = [KINWebBrowserViewController navigationControllerWithWebBrowser];
[self presentViewController:webBrowserNavigationController animated:YES completion:nil];

KINWebBrowserViewController *webBrowser = [webBrowserNavigationController rootWebBrowserViewController];
[webBrowser loadURLString:@"http://www.example.com"];

Installation With CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries in your projects. See the "Getting Started" for more information.

Podfile

platform :ios, '7.0'
pod 'KINWebBrowser'

Implementing KINWebBrowserDelegate Protocol

KINWebBrowserDelegate is a set of @optional callback methods to inform the delegate of NSURLRequest status changes.

- (void)webBrowser:(KINWebBrowserViewController *)webBrowser didBeginLoadingRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request;

- (void)webBrowser:(KINWebBrowserViewController *)webBrowser didFinishLoadingRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request;

- (void)webBrowser:(KINWebBrowserViewController *)webBrowser didFailToLoadRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request withError:(NSError *)error;

Customizing the User Interface

The user interface of KINWebBrowserViewController can be customized at initialization using an NSDictionary of boolean NSNumber values.

// Create an NSDictionary containing the keys and NSNumber booelan values 
NSDictionary *options = @{
                            KINWebBrowserShowsActionButton : @YES,
                            KINWebBrowserShowsProgressView : @NO
                        };

// Create a KINWebBrowserViewController instance with the specified options
[KINWebBrowserViewController webBrowserWithOptions:options];

/* Create a UINavigationController with the rootViewController containing
 an instance of KINWebBrowserViewController instance with the specified options */
 
[KINWebBrowserViewController navigationControllerWithWebBrowserWithOptions:options];

####The following values can be customized

Key	Default Value	Description
KINWebBrowserShowsActionButton	YES	Shows the action button. When enabled the action button launches a UIActivityViewController with the URL to copy to the clipboard, share, or launch Safari or Google Chrome. This displays in a UIPopoverController on iPad devices.
KINWebBrowserShowsProgressView	YES	Shows a Safari-like progress view in the UINavigationBar that displays the loading progress of the request.
KINWebBrowserShowsPageTitleInNavigationBar	YES	Once loading is complete, shows the <title> of the URL in the UINavigationBar
KINWebBrowserShowsPageURLInNavigationBar	YES	During loading, shows the URL in the UINavigationBar
KINWebBrowserRestoresNavigationBarState	YES	Restores the navigationBarHidden state from before KINWebBrowserViewController was pushed onto the navigation stack. Useful since KINWebBrowserViewController explicitly sets navigationBarHidden to NO. There is very little reason to set this value to NO
KINWebBrowserRestoresToolbarState	YES	Restores the toolbarBarHidden state from before KINWebBrowserViewController was pushed onto the navigation stack. Useful since KINWebBrowserViewController explicitly sets toolbarBarHidden to NO.
