I have a .Net iOS application in which I have a Multiline UILabel with an email inside the entire text.
My requirement is to have a Tap on email only and I want to open Email App. For that I registered a Tap and tried to do as per the position but the touch position is not identified properly with below code.
Below is my XIB file.
private void OnEmailLabelTapped(UITapGestureRecognizer recognizer)
{
var location = recognizer.LocationInView(AlertMsg);
var text = AlertMsg.Text;
// Define the email address to look for
var emailRange = new NSRange(text.IndexOf(Email), Email.Length);
if (emailRange.Location == NSRange.NotFound)
{
// Email not found, nothing to handle
return;
}
// Create attributed string for the whole text and get attributes
var attributedText = new NSMutableAttributedString(text);
var font = AlertMsg.Font;
// Get the attributes for the email
var emailAttributedText = new NSAttributedString(Email);
// Create a Drawing Context to measure
var textRect = attributedText.GetBoundingRect(
new CGSize(AlertMsg.Frame.Width, nfloat.MaxValue),
NSStringDrawingOptions.UsesLineFragmentOrigin | NSStringDrawingOptions.UsesFontLeading,
new NSStringDrawingContext());
// Calculate Y position by checking each line
var currentY = AlertMsg.Frame.Y;
var emailYPosition = -1.0f; // To be adjusted if found
// Iterate through the text to find Y position of email
for (int i = 0; i < emailRange.Location; i++)
{
// Simulate getting the char's bounding box
var charSize = new NSString(text.Substring(i, 1)).GetBoundingRect(
new CGSize(nfloat.MaxValue, nfloat.MaxValue),
NSStringDrawingOptions.UsesFontLeading | NSStringDrawingOptions.UsesLineFragmentOrigin, new UIStringAttributes { Font = AlertMsg.Font },
new NSStringDrawingContext());
if (currentY + charSize.Height >= location.Y)
{
// If the current upper Y with height is in bounds of the tap, set the email position
emailYPosition = (float)currentY;
break;
}
// Adjust the current Y position for the next character. This crude measurement assumes all characters have similar height.
currentY += charSize.Height;
}
// Fine tune for the email itself
if (emailYPosition != -1)
{
// Estimate Character Width for Email
var emailRect = new CGRect(
AlertMsg.Frame.X + emailRange.Location * (textRect.Width / text.Length), // Horizontal position
emailYPosition,
emailAttributedText.GetBoundingRect(new CGSize(nfloat.MaxValue, nfloat.MaxValue),
NSStringDrawingOptions.UsesLineFragmentOrigin | NSStringDrawingOptions.UsesFontLeading,
new NSStringDrawingContext()).Width,
font.LineHeight // assume the height is at least line height
);
// Check if the tap location is inside the email bounds
if (emailRect.Contains(location))
{
// Handle opening email client
OpenEmailClient(Email);
}
}
}
How can I achieve this?
