I'm working on adding a new reading view to my browser app. It is another view controller, that only includes a WKWebView added as a subview with a button (and gesture) to close the view. Everything works great, but when I rotate the device, the subview isn't resized, so I have one half of the screen empty.
The WKWebView in the Reading View gets the URL of the main View Controller with a segue performed after the user taps a button on the main View Controller and that URL is stored as webpageURL.
Here is the code I used:
import UIKit
import WebKit
class ReadingViewController: UIViewController, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate, WKNavigationDelegate, WKScriptMessageHandler {
@IBOutlet weak var _closeButton: UIButton!
@IBOutlet weak var _progressView: UIProgressView!
@IBOutlet weak var _loadingErrorView: UIView!
var webpageURL: NSURL?
var _webView: WKWebView?
var _isMainFrameNavigationAction: Bool?
var _loadingTimer: NSTimer?
var _swipeFromTopRecognizer: UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer?
var _panFromRightRecognizer: UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer?
var _panFromLeftRecognizer: UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer?
var _errorView: UIView?
var _isCurrentPageLoaded = false
var _progressTimer: NSTimer?
var _isWebViewLoading = false
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var contentController = WKUserContentController();
var scaleToFit = WKUserScript(source: "var meta = document.createElement('meta'); meta.setAttribute('name', 'viewport'); meta.setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width'); document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(meta);", injectionTime: WKUserScriptInjectionTime.AtDocumentStart, forMainFrameOnly: true)
contentController.addUserScript(scaleToFit)
contentController.addScriptMessageHandler(self, name: "callbackHandler")
var webViewConfiguration: WKWebViewConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
webViewConfiguration.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true
webViewConfiguration.mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction = false
_webView = WKWebView(frame: self.view.frame, configuration: webViewConfiguration)
self.view.addSubview(_webView!)
_webView!.navigationDelegate = self
self.view.sendSubviewToBack(_webView!)
_webView!.allowsBackForwardNavigationGestures = true
_loadingErrorView.hidden = true
_swipeFromTopRecognizer = UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleSwipeFromTop:"))
_swipeFromTopRecognizer!.edges = UIRectEdge.Top
_swipeFromTopRecognizer!.delegate = self
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(_swipeFromTopRecognizer!)
_progressView.hidden = true
var urlAsString = "\(webpageURL!)"
loadURL(urlAsString)

}
}
And here are some screenshots to demonstrate the issue:
This is the view after it finished loading, working correctly:
This is the view after rotating the device to landscape:
And this is the scroll location after rotation:
Using self.view = _webView makes the view resize correctly, but ignores all the views on the Storyboard (since the View's contents are being rewritten).
How can I fix this issue (without rewriting self.view)?
