QT += qml  webview

SOURCES += \
    gallery.cpp

OTHER_FILES += \

Hi! Are you sure the pane's size is bigger than 0,0? I'd add anchors.fill:parent to pane and see if that helps.

Hey i tried , what you suggested but still all i see white blank box

screenshot

change i made in code :

 StackView {
        id: stackView
        anchors.fill: parent

        initialItem: Pane {
            id: pane
            anchors.fill: parent

              WebView{
                  id:webview
                  anchors.fill: parent
                  url: "www.google.com"
              }

        }
    }

Hi, found the problem. Looks as if the initially provided url doesn't trigger the page to load. It only works on setting the property at runtime. For a very subtile way to do that see the Minibrowser Example. As a workaround I suggest the following:

WebView{
  id:webview
  anchors.fill: parent
  Component.onCompleted: url =  "http://qt.io"
}

@Wieland said:

WebView{
id:webview
anchors.fill: parent
Component.onCompleted: url = "http://qt.io"
}

It worked . Thanks a lot !!
