How to detect user pressing on link inside the book

[dudihisine]

Hey,

I'm using readium and every thing is working just fine!
What i need to do is to detect a user press on a link that opens the safari something like:
"Click here to see more books" - opens new safari page with that link
After i detects it i need to make a change to the url and after that open it with the changes.

What should i do?

Update:

Several books contains hyper link and what i want to do is to replace the link with custom link of my own.

I manage to get the page content and replace the link, but when i load the webView with the new content i cant go back or to the next page because the html is not reader.html anymore and it not response to the JS commands of Readium.

I already tried to recognise the navigationType but what i get is pageDidChange and it recognise it as UIWebViewNavigationTypeOther so it didn't work.

So the only way I can think of, is to replace the current file with my configured file but the file path is http://127.0.0.1:port/file.xhtml. and i didn't figure out a way to replace file in that kind of path

Hope you can help me with this.

Absolute HTTP hyperlinks in EPUB HTML content documents are processed specifically by readium-shared-js, see window.open(href, '_blank') here:
https://github.com/readium/readium-shared-js/blob/dd645d38f8c29e01b386cd2b2864379358e91ed6/js/views/internal_links_support.js#L210

You should be able to capture / intercept this "_BLANK" navigation request from the native webview API.

You could do something like this:

• Use the WKUIDelegate like so -> webView.UIDelegate = self
• In (WKWebView *)webView:(WKWebView *)webView createWebViewWithConfiguration:(WKWebViewConfiguration *)configuration forNavigationAction:(WKNavigationAction *)navigationAction windowFeatures:(WKWindowFeatures *)windowFeatures
  you can use navigationAction.request.URL.absoluteString to get the URL being called, and just change it, if you need.
