iOS 9 : SFSafariViewController

Table of Content

iOS 9 引入了很多实用的新特性,本文主要来介绍其中之一: SFSafariViewController

关于其他 iOS 9 的特性与功能,有兴趣的朋友可以参考我博客中的 iOS 9 适配系列

在 iOS 9 出现之前,我们访问 Web 页面有这样几种方式:

  • 跳转到 Safari
  • WebKit(例如 UIWebView 及其子类 WKWebView 等)

(当然,你也可以从无到有创建自己的控件,这里不做讨论)

从 iOS 9 发布之后我们有了新的选择,那就是SFSafariViewController,它继承自 UIViewController,使你的用户不再需要离开应用就能使用 Safari 的诸多特性。

来看看苹果的介绍:

The SFSafariViewController class provides a standard interface for browsing the web. The view controller includes Safari features such as Reader, AutoFill, Fraudulent Website Detection, and content blocking. It shares cookies and other website data with Safari. The user’s activity and interaction with SFSafariViewController is not visible to your app, which can not access AutoFill data, browsing history, or website data. You do not need to secure data between your app and Safari.

UI features include the following:

  • A read-only address field with a security indicator and Reader button.
  • An activity view controller with custom services that your app provides and the system-sharing activities, like messaging.
  • A button to open the page in Safari.
  • Back and forward navigation buttons.
  • A Done button.

Use SFSafariViewController if your app lets users view websites from anywhere on the Internet. Use WKWebView if your app customizes, interacts with, or controls the display of web content.

是的,我们不再需要大量自定控件和方法来实现一个简单地网页浏览功能了,马上来试试吧。

初探

首先,在使用 SFSafariViewController 之前我们需要引入 Safari Services:

import SafariServices

接下来,像使用其他控制器一样简单,它拥有两个初始化方法:

initWithURL:
initWithURL:entersReaderIfAvailable:Designated Initializer

来看一个简单地例子:

func openWithSafariVC(sender: AnyObject) {
	let svc = SFSafariViewController(URL: NSURL(string: "https://picsew.cn/")!)
	self.presentViewController(svc, animated: true, completion:?nil)
}

(在此之前,你可能需要配置 URLSchemesBitcodeATS )

协议

此外,你可能遵守 SFSafariViewControllerDelegate 协议才能实现更多功能:

class ViewController: UIViewController, SFSafariViewControllerDelegate {
	...
}

当然,还需要在前面的 openWithSafariVC(sender:) 方法中设置代理:

svc.delegate = self

遵守协议之后,当然还需要实现其相关方法,例如我们前面说到的关闭功能:

func safariViewControllerDidFinish(controller: SFSafariViewController) {
	controller.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion:?nil)
}

如果 Done 按钮被点击,将会执行上面的 safariViewControllerDidFinish(controller: SFSafariViewController) 方法。

类似的,当页面载入完成,会执行:

safariViewController(controller: SFSafariViewController, didCompleteInitialLoad: Bool)

此外你还可以用下面的方法定制 Action 菜单:

safariViewController(controller: SFSafariViewController, activityItemsForURL: NSURL, title: String?) -> [UIActivity]
