Dear all,
I am investigating to port a content server to an off-line mobile
application in order to don't rely to a network connection at all. Thus
I have to port a database, a kind of web framework, a template engine
and a rendering engine. I believe it can be a use of case of Qt on
mobile platform.
If we consider HTML is the right way to display rich text there is
actually to solution with Qt : Text for basic HTML and WebView for a
full compliance. I am not sure to understand why we cannot use WebEngine
on mobile platform. WebEngine seems more interesting since it provides
WebChannel hooks.
I succeed to hack the WebView using the loadingChanged signal in order
to simulate a dynamic HTML framework, i.e. call loadHtml according to
the url. But I don't known if it is the right way to achieve this. Maybe
we can extend the Java wrapper for this purpose? The fact the rendering
surface is a light web browser behind the scene can be disturbing since
it doesn't integrate very well with the QML application.
I think there is something evil since a Web engine is a concurrent of
QML. We can render math formulas out of the box using a QML WebView and
mathjax, but we can also implement a full application using HTML5 and
javascript. Thus use a stack over a stack ...
What is the future plan and advices for this topic?
Fabrice
