QtWebEngine on Android/iOS

[vladstelmahovsky]

HI

is there any plans to bring QtWebEngine on Android/iOS?
For now it looks like a gap here: WebView not supported anymore and WebEngine not supported yes (and no info when it will be)

Thanks

Hi,

some mobile platforms don't allow to use non native browsers.
You can use Qt WebView module (is a Tech Preview but works well for my iOS app)

Hi
thanks for your answer
I've take a look at Qt WebView but it seems it doesnt support loadHtml() method and doesnt support navigationRequest signal as well
both of them required for my project
As far as I know QtWebEngine was developed to omit the limitations of 3rd party web engines

is this not true anymore?

thanks,
Vlad

mcosta: AFAIK only iOS doesn't allow other than native webviews. What's the reason for WebEngine not being available on Android?

There is a QtWebView which is probably will do the job, but so far there in not much controls to control
