UITextview detects two links at a time

Question

enter image description here I am facing one minor issue with UITextview link functionality. I have enabled link,phone and address detection functionality in my app and it is working well.

My issue is if i added two links at a time say abc@gmail.com\n9999999999\n99333333333

when i select abc@gmail.com - 9999999999 will select too, though it is opening only abc@gmail.com but selection shows to both of the text. So it can confuse user.

IS there any solution for this?Please check attached screen.

no my case is different , i am not using attribute or tableview. I am using normal textview. — PJR, Apr 17 '15 at 05:06
Thanks @Koen , but you used attributed string if i am not wrong. While i am dealing with default string. — PJR, Apr 17 '15 at 13:11
You can easily convert your default string to an attributed string and use that. — koen, Apr 17 '15 at 13:34

Uncheck editable property ofUITextView. and You need to give one space between every link or phone no. it will solve your problem. try it.

Write following code to get link to new line.

self.textView.text=[self.textView.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"\n"];
