Returning values from Webview in BB10 - webview

Is it possible to return values from Webview in bb 10??
Example: If I load a Webview for online banking in my app and is there a way to get some data (like reference number of the payment) returning from the Webview to the app

At first you have to add a javascript in the html file that return document.documentElement.innerHTML;
After completely loading the webview call evaluateJavaScript (const QString &script, bb::cascades::JavaScriptWorld::Typeworld world) function, this will evaluate the javascript in the webview.
Lastly you should catch the sigal "javaScriptResult" from this signal you can get all the source of html file as qvariant.

For security sake, you cannot access the html content of the webview, except if you have set it yourself as a string.
You can access a redirection url, but without the Post parameter.

How can i access elements in a iframe of a cordova WKWebview ios app?

I want to access elements of our website that is embedded in a iframe of our ios App.
It has the same problem as file access.
SecurityError: Blocked a frame with origin "file://" from accessing a cross origin frame...
The file access problem is solved through this plugin https://github.com/globules-io/cordova-plugin-ios-xhr.
But access in a iframe is not solved.
How can i access elements in a iframe of a cordova WKWebview ios app?
I've run into a similar issue in my Cordova apps with WkWebView. You'll need to get the iframe to run under the "same-origin" of your app. This is the only workaround I've found. It involves writing content directly to the iframe, rather than giving it a src="...". This way, iframe runs as same-origin as parent. (Anything loaded via src="file://..." is treated as unique-origin in WkWebView, so blocks any cross-frame JavaScript.)
function frameEl_injectHtml(frameEl, injectHtml) {
// frameEl must exist in DOM before its contentWindow is accessible.
if (!frameEl.contentWindow) { alert("frameInjectHtml() but frameEl not (yet or anymore) in DOM."); return; }
frameEl.contentWindow.document.open('text/htmlreplace');
frameEl.contentWindow.document.write(injectHtml);
frameEl.contentWindow.document.close();
}
// Create <frame>, insert into DOM, and inject content.
var frameHtml = "<html><head></head>" +
"<body style='background-color:#eee; color:#000;'>" +
"iframe body" +
"<script>window.parent.alert('iframe even same-origin as parent.');</script>" +
"</body></html>";
var frameEl = document.createElement('iframe');
frameEl.src = "about:blank";
document.body.appendChild(frameEl);
frameEl_injectHtml(frameEl, frameHtml);
You'll have to load the contents of the website pages somehow outside of this workaround, e.g. with an ajax call.

How to get UserAgent for WKWebView without initializing UIWebView or WKWebView?

I know we can initialize a UIWebView or WKWebView then inject JavaScript to get the value of navigator.userAgent, however that requires the initialization of UIWebView, which takes much time. Is there a way to get UserAgent faster?
If you need the exact userAgent string, you can ignore this answer.
If, however, you are interested in the info encoded inside the userAgent string, you can get most/all of them with other APIs... e.g. you get the device type with UIDevice.current.model; the browser type is Safari/Mobile Safari (didn't check what's the exact string but this value is unlikely to change); the platform obviously is iOS; etc.

How to get WebView URL in W10 Mobile (UWP) (Xamarin forms)

I'm developing an application for W10 Mobile (UWP) in Xamarin forms and I have implemented a WebView and I tried to get the URL of this but it is more complicated than I thought at first, I tried to get it through the source property, but not is possible, I would appreciate a help.
You could create an event handler to the navigation completed event.
With that you can check the URL
example:
WebView browser = new WebView();
browser.Navigated += OnNavigatedHandler;
public void OnNavigatedHandler (object sender, WebNavigatedEventArgs args){
Console.WriteLine ("Navigated to: " + args.Url);
}
I'm having trouble getting the URL of the browser in real time, the way you indicate I enter an infinite loop, I have a binding in my WebView on the SourceProperty in the view model called URL, when there is a change in the URL property I detect it thanks to PropertyChanged, the problem is that the event navigated only runs when updating the value of the URL property which causes the infinite loop to load the WebView infinitely. Is there any other way to get the URL?

Android webview jwplayer7 cannot read property 'jwplayer.volume' of null

I have an app that is using a webview to launch an html that loads JWP7 and throws an error Uncaught TypeError :cannot read property 'jwplayer.volume' of null
The same page is loading perfectly on mobile and desktop browsers.
I tried to add in the javascript of the html after the jwplayer.js is being called and before the setup, the following code:
if (typeof jwplayer.volume == "undefined" || typeof jwplayer.volume == null )
jwplayer.volume = 10;
I do see the new volume property using a desktop/mobile browser but it doesn't changes the TypeError in the webview, probably because the TypeError is thrown while running the jwplayer.js script, before it reaches my javascript check.
When i'm Using the JWP6 everything is working perfectly.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?
I inspected the jwplayer.js code.
And saw that it reads the last settings of Volume (jwplayer.volume) and Mute (jwplayer.mute) from the LocalStorage; instead of from cookie.
(Probably JWPlayer 6 was using cookies.)
So, you need to enable LocalStorage access in your WebView; like you do for JavaScript.
Sample code below.
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true); // This will allow access
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
/* WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true); // This is to inspect your WebView from desktop Chrome. (>= API 19) You may not want to include this in production. */
webView.loadUrl(url);
JW Player doesn't support using the web player in Android or iOS webview; however, there are native mobile SDKs available to support in-app video: developer.jwplayer.com/android-sdk

For plug in running on iOS

What I want to implement is as follow:
A-app (calling app) : request the return value of a-string sent as parameter : request(a-string) -> b-string.
B-app (plug-in installed separately by me or others, it plays the role of dictionary or database ) : search a-string from database and return the result (b-string).
With successful experiences of plug-in on android and with Apple's confident rhetoric of plug-in, I thought plug-in, of course, run on iOS. After a lot of hard work, however, I finally found out:
* Note : The creation and use of loadable bundles is not supported in iOS.*
Nonetheless, not giving up, I finally made it with custom URl and pasteboard:
A-app : write a-string and false state to pasteboard & call B-app via custom URL.
B-app : viewDidLoad runs following func and thereafter exit program ; func { read pasteboard and search from database & write the result(b-string) and true state to pasteboard }
A-app : while-loop detects whether state is false or true. if true, catch b-string from pasteboard.
Anyway it works but it's too long thus almost useless. Do you have any idea for better solutions? Why doesn't Apple allow plug-in for iOS? Any responses are welcome. Thank you.
I can't answer why Apple doesn't allow plug-ins, but I can offer some advice on what you're trying to achieve.
The common pattern for sending data back to your application is to implement a callback url, so the A-app would also implement a custom URI and add that to the uri sent to B-app.
B-app would then process the uri as you have already implemented, but then instead of exiting, it simply sends the data you requested in the uri passed to it.
See http://x-callback-url.com for more details and example implementations.
