    <p>I'm tryiing to display some text in my app where there might be some URL in the text. I want the URL to be highlighted as hyperlinks and clickable. Furthermore, when it is clicked, I want to supply a callback where I can perform custom action. Of course the URL should be passed back to my callback so I know what to do with it (say open it in an in-app browser etc). </p> <p>This might sound complicated but basically all the IM apps in the appstore (over 30 of them) have this functionality where a user can send an IM containing a URL and the receiving end can click on it and open the page in an in-app browser. </p> <p>How is this done? I just can't figure it out. If you have a solution, please provide <strong>sample code.</strong> Thank you.</p> <hr> <p><strong>BTW:</strong></p> <p>The answer is <strong>NOT A UIWebView</strong> (because it is very slow to render multiple instances of it). </p> <p>The answer is also <strong>NOT A UITextView</strong> because although it is capable of parsing URL it cannot be set a custom callback on clicks. So it just ends up opening safari.</p> <p>The answer is also <strong>NOT A TTStyledTextLabel</strong> because although it is capable of parsing URL and assigning a custom action to it, it needs to be pre-assigned in a URLMap. And obviously in this case we don't know what the URL is before hand. As far as I know you cannot assign ALL url to a custom action.</p> <p><a href="http://img169.yfrog.com/img169/3373/picture1ufx.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://img169.yfrog.com/img169/3373/picture1ufx.png</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
