Creating webViews programmatically in Swift

I want to create something like an image gallery in my ViewController. For this, I'd need multiple webViews, depending on the number of images that I get from a JSON request. How can I insert new webViews if I need to?

As you can see in the above image, I have a scrollView and one UIWebView inside of the ViewController. How would I create a new webView inside of the first(second, third, etc.) if necessary? Is it possible?

you can create the web view programatically as simple as possible use this piece of code

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let webV:UIWebView = UIWebView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.width, UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.height))
    webV.loadRequest(NSURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "http://www.google.co.in")))
    webV.delegate = self;
    self.view.addSubview(webV)
}

and if you want use this delegate function

func webView(webView: UIWebView!, didFailLoadWithError error: NSError!) {
    print("Webview fail with error \(error)");
}
func webView(webView: UIWebView!, shouldStartLoadWithRequest request: NSURLRequest!, navigationType: UIWebViewNavigationType) -&gt; Bool {
    return true;
}
func webViewDidStartLoad(webView: UIWebView!) {
    print("Webview started Loading")
}
func webViewDidFinishLoad(webView: UIWebView!) {
    print("Webview did finish load")
}

For Swift 3:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let webV    = UIWebView()
    webV.frame  = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width, height: UIScreen.main.bounds.height)
    webV.loadRequest(NSURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: "https://www.apple.com")! as URL) as URLRequest)
    webV.delegate = self
    self.view.addSubview(webV)
}

Reference: Based on the answer provided by @Deepakraj Murugesan

Although UIWebView is probably not the thing you should use for displaying images, you can create one with just a few lines of code:

let webView = UIWebView(frame: someFrame)
webView.loadRequest(NSURLRequest(URL: someURL!))
view.addSubview(webView)

you can't do that, Originally，webview will take up a lot of memory, if you use some quantity of it, can lead to a bad experience， why do not use ImageView？

I think SDWebImage + UIImageView will help you. See: https://github.com/rs/SDWebImage

For Swift 4:

webView = WKWebView()
webView.navigationDelegate = self
view = webView

let url = URL(string: "https://www.earthhero.org")!
webView.load(URLRequest(url: url))
webView.allowsBackForwardNavigationGestures = true

Plus you need to import WebKit and add WKNavigationDelegate to the Class.
