Use the WebView API to create a browser, webviewapi

We can see that there is a WebView In the Ubuntu SDK. It does not use the Qt standard Webkit library. On Ubuntu, we have made a lot of optimizations (oxide engine) to the following engine, which makes our WebView more superior in performance.

The following uses an example to design a simple Browser.

import QtQuick 2.0import Ubuntu.Components 1.1import Ubuntu.Web 0.2import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1/*!    \brief MainView with a Label and Button elements.*/MainView {    // objectName for functional testing purposes (autopilot-qt5)    objectName: "mainView"    // Note! applicationName needs to match the "name" field of the click manifest    applicationName: "browser.liu-xiao-guo"    /*     This property enables the application to change orientation     when the device is rotated. The default is false.    */    //automaticOrientation: true    // Removes the old toolbar and enables new features of the new header.    useDeprecatedToolbar: false    width: units.gu(100)    height: units.gu(75)    Page {        title: i18n.tr("")        RowLayout {            id:toolbar            anchors.top: parent.top            width: parent.width            height: units.gu(8)            spacing: units.gu(1)            Icon {                id: back                anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter                name: "go-previous"                height: input.height                width: height                visible: webview.canGoBack                MouseArea {                    anchors.fill: parent                    onClicked: webview.goBack();                }            }            Icon {                id: forward                anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter                name: "go-next"                height: input.height                width: height                visible: webview.canGoForward                MouseArea {                    anchors.fill: parent                    onClicked: webview.goForward();                }            }            TextField {                id: input                anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter                height: parent.height - units.gu(1)                Layout.maximumWidth: parent.width                Layout.preferredWidth: parent.width - back.width - forward.width                text: "http://www.baidu.com"                onAccepted: {                    webview.url = input.text                }            }        }        WebView {            id: webview            anchors.top: toolbar.bottom            height: parent.height - toolbar.height            width: parent.width            url: "http://www.baidu.com"        }    }}

Here we use:

Import Ubuntu. Web 0.2

Module. We use two icons to return or forward. At the same time, we designed a TextField to input the address we want to go. Note that the address must be a string starting with http. When we press enter, the page will be opened by ourselves.

There is not much code, but it completes what we want to accomplish.
