NowWebViewControllerDelegate protocol - iOS

The NowWebViewControllerDelegate protocol provides callbacks for notification of issues within the NowWebViewController processing such as when a flow ends or a navigation fails.

NowWebViewControllerDelegate - nowWebViewController(_ nowWebViewController: NowWebViewController, didReceive unsupportedUrl: URL)

Callback that notifies the host application that the web view attempted to load an unsupported URL.

An unsupported URL could be one for a different ServiceNow instance or an absolute URL with an invalid scheme.

Note:

Valid schemes are http and https.

Table 1. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
nowWebViewController	NowWebViewController	Instance of NowWebViewController used when attempting to load the unsupported URL.
didReceive unsupportedUrl	URL	Invalid URL trying to be loaded.

Table 2. Returns

Type	Description
None

The following code example shows how to call this method.

func nowWebViewController(_ nowWebViewController: NowWebViewController, didReceive unsupportedUrl: URL) {
  debugPrint("nowWebViewController:receivedUnsupportedUrl: \(unsupportedUrl.absoluteString)")
}

NowWebViewControllerDelegate - nowWebViewController(_ nowWebViewController: NowWebViewController, didEndFlow flowName: String)

Callback that notifies the host application that the specified Cabrillo (mobile web) flow has ended.

Table 3. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
nowWebViewController	NowWebViewController	Instance of NowWebViewController where the flow ended.
didEndFlow flowName	String	Name of the Cabrillo flow that ended

Table 4. Returns

Type	Description
None

The following code example shows how to call this method.

func nowWebViewController(_ nowWebViewController: NowWebViewController, didEndFlow flowName: String) {
  debugPrint("ended flow named: \(flowName)")
}

NowWebViewControllerDelegate - nowWebViewController(_ nowWebViewController: NowWebViewController, didFailNavigationWith error: Swift.Error)

Callback that notifies the host application that the web view navigation has failed.

Table 5. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
nowWebViewController	NowWebViewController	Instance of NowWebViewController in which the navigation failed.
didFailNavigationWith error	Swift.Error	Error raised from the navigation failure.

Table 6. Returns

Type	Description
None

The following code example shows how to call this method.

func nowWebViewController(_ nowWebViewController: NowWebViewController, didFailNavigationWith error: Error) {
  debugPrint("NowWebViewController encountered a navigation error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

NowWebViewControllerDelegate - nowWebViewController(_ nowWebViewController: NowWebViewController, systemThemeDidChange traitCollection: UITraitCollection)

Callback that notifies the host application that the system web UI theme changed.

Table 7. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
nowWebViewController	NowWebViewController	Instance of NowWebViewController in which the web UI theme changed.
traitCollection	UITraitCollection	UITraitCollection object that contains the new theme.

Table 8. Returns

Type	Description
None

The following code example shows how to override the systemThemeDidChange() delegate function to call the updateTheme() function to apply theme changes when the system theme changes.

func nowWebViewController(_ nowWebViewController: NowWebViewController, systemThemeDidChange traitCollection: UITraitCollection) {

  /// Called when the system changes between dark and light mode

    /// You can call the corresponding updateTheme() method here to change the UI theme based on System Theme
    nowWebViewController.updateTheme(themeColors: traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle == .dark ? DarkNowWebTheme() : LightNowWebTheme())
      print(“System Theme Did Change)
}

NowWebViewControllerDelegate - nowWebViewControllerDidRequestDismissal(_ nowWebViewController: NowWebViewController)

Callback that notifies the host application that during a back navigation attempt, the stack was exhausted. The host application can then decide whether to dismiss the NowWebViewController instance.

Table 9. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
nowWebViewController	NowWebViewController	Instance of NowWebViewController in which the back navigation was attempted.

Table 10. Returns

Type	Description
None

The following code example shows how to call this method.

func nowWebViewControllerDidRequestDismissal(_ nowWebViewController: NowWebViewController) {
  navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
}
