Hi, So far there hasn't been much research on this, but the idea was to render it into a texture and use this in the QML scene graph, yes.
Any experience you collect on this will probably be very helpful. I think the path forward may be to make an Android-specific API for this that can easily be adapted to a cross-platform API later. That gives us a bit more flexibility as we do not have to commit to a cross-platform API right away. I can't give any promises as for the Qt version this will be targeted at yet, but I do understand that it's a very important feature, so I definitely want to have it as soon as at all possible. Here's a blog which might be helpful if you're going to be looking at this: http://anuraagsridhar.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/rendering-an-android-webview-or-for-that-matter-any-android-view-directly-to-opengl/ -- Eskil -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Cornelius Hald [mailto:h...@icandy.de] Sendt: 6. september 2013 16:15 Til: Abrahamsen-Blomfeldt Eskil Kopi: development@qt-project.org Emne: Re: [Development] WebView for Android on track for Qt 5.2?

Both I should port to Android as soon as possible. Are there any known workarounds? Like using the Android WebView and rendering it into a GL texture that could be used with QQ2? I only need output. No input or interaction. I will research my options but would be very grateful for any hints and tips. Also it would be great to know for what Qt version it is planned to have a working WebView on Android. Thanks!
