SilicaWebView does more than just wraps QtWebKit's WebView. Particularly SilicaWebView also is somehow caring about pulley menu integration and the rest of SilicaFlickable-like stuff that.. causes issues if you want to to have an address bar above WebView and therefore need to wrap everything into an outer SilicaFlickable. Oh well, maybe I just mess up something with touch handling.
A bit more serious issue is that with not permitted QtWebKit import we cannot use WebView constants anymore. E.g. WebView.LoadSucceededStatus For now I have to hardcode them. In general should these constants be copied to SilicaWebView? Cheers, Artem.
