UIWebView - How to Disable Action Sheets (UIActionSheet)?

Question

I would like to know how you can disable UIActionSheets, specifically the Action Sheets being displayed after tapping and holding hyperlinks in a UIWebView. These seem to be ena

Answer 1

The dataDetectorTypes property might be what you are looking for. If you want to disable that action sheet possibility, just insert the code:

webView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeNone;

Answer 2

I just found this solution myself. Add this to your CSS:

body {
  -webkit-touch-callout: none;
}

To be clear, this disables the action sheet that appears when you hold down a hyperlink.

Answer 3

You can override presentViewController in UINavigationController and do nothing like this.

@implementation CDVInAppBrowserNavigationController : UINavigationController

- (void)presentViewController:(UIViewController *)viewControllerToPresent animated: (BOOL)flag completion:(void (^ __nullable)(void))completion NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(5_0){
    //Do nothing.
}

@end

Answer 4

 - (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
 {
    [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.body.style.webkitTouchCallout='none'; document.body.style.KhtmlUserSelect='none'"];
 }

Answer 5

You can also handle this via JavaScript by calling:

document.documentElement.style.webkitTouchCallout = "none";
