Any way to find the URL of a page opened in a tab
-
I have a third-party module that opens a page in a tab (beside the Console). I would need to know the url of the actual page opened after some redirects. This is difficult as the tab does not show page address?
@cvp, I think you are the tabs master, do you have something ready?
-
@mikael See here if only one tab and if I correctly understand the request 😀
from objc_util import * # open tab with url, then swipe to right and run this script @on_main_thread def searchTabURL(): win = ObjCClass('UIApplication').sharedApplication().keyWindow() main_view = win.rootViewController().view() ret = '' def analyze(v,indent): ret = None for sv in v.subviews(): #print(indent,sv._get_objc_classname()) if 'UIWebBrowserView' in str(sv._get_objc_classname()): return sv.webView().mainFrameURL() ret = analyze(sv,indent+' ') if ret: return ret ret = analyze(main_view,'') return ret if __name__ == "__main__": url = searchTabURL() print(url)

@mikael Is that not what you wanted or does it not work for you?

@cvp, thanks! Sorry for the delay. 3 kids in home schooling are severely cutting into my ability to concentrate on something deemed ”non-critical”... I expect I will not be quite as online as I have been before.
It looks like you are doing the right thing, but for some reason I am just getting
None
. Might be an iPad/iPhone thing – I will experiment. -
@cvp, ho, just running it the second time gave me the URL, so now we can move forward in the other thread.
-
@cvp, now I got it. The web tab needs to be the active one to get URL.

I'm the one who apologizes, I'm retired with my wife and actually without physical contact with my sons and grandchildren, thus I forgot other people have a big load of their children at home.

I had only tested with one tab, thus...
