Since I've tried many things and have been unable to confirm that anyone is running WebView on websites using QML-only (from QMLViewer) on a N900, I filed the following bug:

I've been using libqt4-experimental-dev from extras-devel as well, with instructions from http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/07/12/qt-47-for-the-n900-news/ So my guess is that we have the same version of Qt on the N900. However, on the one I've installed, there's no qml not qmlviewer binary in /opt/qt4-maemo5/bin. I wonder what happens when you press F5 in QtCreator: Maybe it creates a thin C++-based wrapper around your QML app in order to run it as a native app on the N900. But I have honestly no idea: Maybe that would be a good question for the [Qt-Creator] list. In any case, I've never been able to run a qml app from a qmlviewer in the N900, whether or not it contains a WebView: I've always wrapped them up in C++, which is fortunately well documented, even for non Qt beginners like me. However, once wrapped up in C++, I've had used Webviews on the N900 without any problem (apart from the black background that comes from the default theme, which is really weird for HTML pages that don't specify their "background-color" style explicitely :) ) Best, Sacha On 07/21/2010 09:14 PM, [email protected] wrote: > My understanding may be wrong, but I am thinking that the version of Qt 4.7 > that I am using on the N900 is relatively new because I am thinking that it > came within this .deb file in the extras-devel repository > > libqt4-experimental-core_4.7.0~git20100706-0maemo1_armel.deb > > which I downloaded from > > http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-devel_free_armel/libqt4-experimental-core/4.7.0~git20100706-0maemo1/ > > That was the most recent qt4-experimental build I could find there yesterday. > I am guessing that it was current as of 2010/07/06 , but perhaps not if it > was included from somewhere else. > > I'm not using C++ in conjunction with my QML currently.
