Hi All, Thanks for your input.
Seems like due to the Qt version I need to use, I may have to have different QML code for my target Android and Linux platforms. I have ways of working around this, and this isn't for anything that's going public anyway so I'll figure something out. Thanks again!

But below is my understanding. With Qt 5.5 the Qt WebKit module is deprecated:(https://wiki.qt.io/New-Features-in-Qt-5.5#Deprecated_Functionality) QWebView uses WebKit as the backend. QWebEngineView uses Chromium as the backend. WebView with the same name has been defined in both WebKit and WebEngine. Hence import statement varies.[I believe this is the source of confusion ] import QtWebKit 3.0 import QtWebView 1.0 In 5.8, import QtWebView 1.1 QT += qml quick webview This is useful on mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, and WinRT; especially on iOS, where policy dictates that all web content is displayed using the operating system's web view.

Unfortunately, there are two different things named "WebView" in Qt, which is very confusing: * http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.5/qml-qtwebview-webview.html * http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.5/qml-qtwebkit-webview.html > For WebEngine module add: > QT += webengine > > In both cases, Linux should be working. > > Regards, > Nibedit > . > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Mark Tucker > <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> > Date: Tue, Apr 4, 2017 at 3:56 PM > Subject: [Interest] QML WebView modules > To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" > <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> > > > Hi, > > > > I'm currently trying to create a QML app that works on both a Linux platform > and an Android platform.

These platforms were chosen specifically because Qt WebKit and Qt WebEngine can't run on them. In later releases, support for desktop platforms was added to Qt WebView, but I'm not exactly sure which version. Qt 5.5 might be too early. > Thanks in advance > > Mark Regards, Sze-Howe
