iOS Question Toast message in webview1

[Giusy]

Hi,
I load an html in webview1 and when the user press with a "long_click" I want visualize a toast message but appear "copy..share etc"
How to avoid the inconvenience?

Why are you using a WebView for your layout? It only makes things more complicated and less customizable.

You can change the items to links and then intercept the click with the OverrideUrl event.

@Erel I am new in b4I and I looked for help in the community. I do not know other ways to load an HTML if not with webview.
I don't understand "You can change the items to links ".
My html are in dir asssets
can you give me a simple example?
Thanks

What Erel probably meant is that you should not use a HTML layout to show in a webview for your design.
Create your layout with the designer, then use the builtin listview or scrollview to show your list which users then tap to select a value...

Hi, @moster67
"listview or scrollview ...."
I have not found any examples of how to load the html in listview or scrollview.
can you help me with a little example? I would really appreciate it
Thanks

Don't use HTML.
Use the views available in the designer such as listviews/scrollviews,
Have a look at the beginner material published by @klaus

You say don't use HTML.
what should I use instead of the html, with what I have to replace it.
I do not understand

What exactly is the purpose of your WebView?
Is it a kind of menu?
Why do you use a html file and not just a text file?
Whithout knowing what exactly the purpose is, it's diffcult do give a concrete advice.
Sorry for these questions, but before answering a question, I like to know the real problem.

[Giusy]

hi @klaus, I have posted prova.zip in this thread

I had a look at it and I don't understand the purposethat's the reason why I asked the questions.
And I still don't understand.
Do you just want to display some text, is it a kind of menu, is it used to select spmething ???

 

[Giusy]

I have a first page for example with 10 choices.
each choice must load an html
when the user do a "long_click" I want to visualize a toast message

So, I come back to Erel's question

Why are you using a WebView for your layout? It only makes things more complicated and less customizable.

The attached test project does what you expect.
The project uses a ScrollView, and the html file was saved as a text file with UTF-8 encoding, dirctly with Word.

Thanks you @klaus really did a great job. Thank you for your time

I'm still not sure which layout you are trying to create. In most cases it is simpler and better to use xCustomListView instead of ScrollView. This will also allow you to easily share the code with B4A and B4J.
