Hi,

I'm struggling a bit with the WebView. See this code:

import ui

wv = ui.WebView()
wv.load_url('https://forum.omz-software.com')
wv.present()

Works fine so far, it opens the page ;-). However, I don't see any navigation buttons to navigate forward or back. Do I have to create them by myself by making a view which contains WebView and the buttons (assigned to wv.go_forward() and wv.go_back()) or is there an option which I could set for WebView? I haven't found one in the documentation, but maybe I was looking for the wrong keywords...

I think that there is no option and that you have to create buttons which, when pressed, call the webview methods go_back or go_forward.

OK, done. :-)

quick&dirty (hopefully not very dirty ;-), but if you find some things to optimize please tell me):

import ui

class MyWebView(ui.View):
    def __init__(self, url):
        self.width, self.height = ui.get_window_size()
        self.wv = ui.WebView(frame=self.bounds)
        self.wv.load_url(url)
        self.add_subview(self.wv)
        bi_back = ui.ButtonItem(image=ui.Image.named('iob:ios7_arrow_back_32'))
        bi_forward = ui.ButtonItem(image=ui.Image.named('iob:ios7_arrow_forward_32'))
        bi_back.action = self.go_back
        bi_forward.action = self.go_forward
        self.right_button_items = [bi_forward, bi_back]
        self.present()

    def go_back(self, bi):
        self.wv.go_back()

    def go_forward(self, bi):
        self.wv.go_forward()


wv = MyWebView('https://forum.omz-software.com')
