Deferring viewWillAppear until webViewDidFinishLoad

Question

I have an application that uses UIWebViews in several view controllers. The UIWebViews are used to render locally generated html, no slow network acce

Answer 1

I like monowerker's solution best, but another solution would be to hold onto the already-rendered UIWebView all the time (in some more permanent object than the view controller). I'd only do that if the look of monowerker's solution is too disruptive.

Answer 2

Lots of solutions here I think. A quick one is to load your UIWebView with it's hidden property set to YES. Then set your UIViewController as the UIWebViews delegate and implement:

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView

where you set the property back to NO.

A thing to note is that webViewDidFinishLoad will fire more than once if you have framed/embedded content. So you have to keep track of this. Shouldn't really be a problem if you are loading local content.
