How have you created this UIWebView? When I create mine (which I do all in code, no Interface Builder) I don't get address bars. Maybe if you create them in Interface Builder you get an address bar?
 
all from code, no IB at all

UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 80, 300, 200)];
[webView setScalesPageToFit:YES];
CGFloat currentLatitude = [[Order sharedOrder] location].latitude;
CGFloat currentLongitude = [[Order sharedOrder] location].longitude;
NSString *currentLocationString = [NSString stringWithFormat😡"%f,%f", currentLatitude, currentLongitude];
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat😡"http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%@&z=15", currentLocationString]; // z - zoom
[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]]];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[webView release];
 
Hmm, very odd. Can you post a screenshot of what you are getting. The only thing I do that you don't is set the webview delegate...

Is that address bar within the frame of your webview? As it might be part of the webpage Google has served up. Otherwise it certainly doesn't look like a standard Apple provided control...
 
Yeah, that bar may be within the content of the web view, but it is not part of the UIWebView, which doesn't have an address bar.
 
No one said that. You will simply have to get more creative. I would have though that a bit of JavaScript/DOM action could remove it.
 
actually..

in my case, there's a UILabel right above it, i could color the background of the label and hide the webview beneath the label, i kinda wanted something simpler.. but thank u all guys..
 
You probably should look into the Google Maps API and see if they have provided any mechanism to turn off that bar.


P.S. And if you are using a UIWebView to provide only a Google Maps view, you should probably just consider using MKMapView.
 
i solved it at last...

apparently javaScript is the only solution both to scroll and to hide the damn address bar..
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString😡"window.scrollTo(0, 120);"];
the line above solved both of my problems.
again, Thank u all for u'r help.
