display Html file in QT C++ with Webview ?

Brad1111

Hello,

I need a way to display an html file, with the notion of page format - left margin, right margin, etc, which doesnt work properly with Textedit or textbrowser unless Im mistaken.
Also I need it to work on mobile so apparently I cant use WebEngineCore which only is supported on desktop , and I think I'm left with QWebView ? But isn't it for QML Qt Quick only while Im on Qt c++.

Any advice please ?

@Brad1111 It seems that web engine is not supported on Android. To mix qml with widgets. You can use

class VideoWidget : public QQuickWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT 
};

in the construtor, add your qml to it
   QUrl qml_source( "qrc:path/***.qml" );
   setSource( qml_source );

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtdeclarative.git/tree/examples/quick/quickwidgets/quickwidget?h=6.8

If you project is not too big, you can use qml only. I mixed them only in one project, but I prefer to make pure widgets or qml projects.

@Brad1111 QWebEngineView is for Widgets. And you can mix widgets and qml items as well.

@JoeCFD None of the QWebEngine functionalities are supported on mobile - Android/iOS - Or am I wrong ?
I assume that leaves me with the only option left, that is to mix qml with widgets .. which I have no idea how to do -_-''
Please kindly confirm that I cant use QWebEngineWidgets on mobile and I'll mark your message as solution. I'll have to read how to mix these things
Thank you
