ios - Attributed Text View that opens address in new map view -

i'm working on app uses parse backend , allows users post address via text view. enabled "addresses" attribute , addresses open in apple maps app. instead i'd keep users in app opening new view map , address tapped pinned map view.

is there anyway can without making things overly complicated?

thanks help!

you can implement uitextviewdelegate method:

- (bool)textview:(uitextview *)textview shouldinteractwithurl:(nsurl *)url inrange:(nsrange)characterrange; 

description: asks delegate if specified text view should allow user interaction given url in given range of text.

the text view calls method if user taps or long-presses url link. implementation of method optional. default, text view opens application responsible handling url type , passes url. can use method trigger alternative action, such displaying web content @ url in web view within current application.

reference

ex:

1. make sure class conforms to: <uitextviewdelegate>
2. set textview delegate: [textview setdelegate:self];
3. implement delegate method:

...

#pragma mark - uitextviewdelegate  - (bool)textview:(uitextview *)textview shouldinteractwithurl:(nsurl *)url inrange:(nsrange)characterrange {      // open custom map using data textview.text.  }
