iOS data detector types in UITextView

dataDetectorTypes
The types of data converted to clickable URLs in the text view.

@property(nonatomic) UIDataDetectorTypes dataDetectorTypes

Discussion

You can use this property to specify the types of data (phone numbers, http links, and so on) that should be automatically converted to clickable URLs in the text view. When clicked, the text view opens the application responsible for handling the URL type and passes it the URL.

This is in the apples documentation.
Can I open the URL in a webview instead of the default application (safari).

I am having the same issue. Has anyone found a solution?!

Do it like this.
Just remember to set editable fuction to NO, or data detector won't work.

TextView.editable = NO;
TextView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeAll;

That doesn't answer the question
