Detailed Description

The WebView component currently supports enterprise logins on mobile platforms, in which the web page may have HTTP Basic Authentication, Windows Authentication or SAML/ADFS. This means that WebView can authenticate to ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS on iOS and Android devices. A login prompt is displayed for users to enter the username and password. Once the credentials are entered into the displayed login prompt, AppFramework WebView resubmits the request to the same URL with the credential information.

The AppFramework WebView component is extended from Qt's WebView component, and supports all functions of the original component. http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtwebview-webview.html

App {
    id: app
    width: 400
    height: 640

    WebView {
        anchors.fill: parent
        url: "http://appstudio.arcgis.com"

    }
}

Returns true if the WebView is currently in the process of loading new content. Otherwise, returns false.


[read-only] title : string

Returns the title of the currently loaded web page.


url : url

The URL is used as-is. URLs that originate from user input should be parsed with the QUrl method fromUserInput, provided by the Qt Core.
