How to get click event of email link in UITextView?

Question

I am new in iPhone development. I am doing a contact us page. Here I uses a UITextView to display the details. In it, there is a email address link (abc@company.com). When a user tapped on the email link, the iPhone's default mail app needs to be appear. But I don't know how to get the click event of the email link in UITextView.

How can I achieve this ?.

I know how to load mail app. But before that I want to do some other things. So how can i get a click event when user taps on the email link in UITextView ?

The iOS SDK does not expose this event in a UITextView. If you want to intercept a tap on an email link, you will have to use a UIWebView instead of the text view.
