How to put a webview on a mobile page.

[Larry4963687]

I would like to put a webview on a page with the builder. It would be on a tab container with some footer buttons. How do I do this with the builder?

In Tiggzi, you always start with a web view, as you start with HTML mobile app. If you need to embed another site, you can do this:

1) You can insert an iframe, similar to the YouTube example: http://help.tiggzi.com/documentation/...

2) Use a PhoneGap ChildBrowser plug-in:
code
var childBrowser = ChildBrowser.install();
window.plugins.childBrowser.showWebPage('http://google.com');
/code

Can you give some more detailed examples on how to use the child browser. I tried putting option number 2. into the load of the screen with no results.

Do it on click event.

I dropped a button on the screen added the click event - push the button. Nothing happens. What I'm I missing. Can I share the app with you?

How do you test the app? You have to run it as a hybrid app.

The project type is set to mobile app and I also tried it on my iPhone by scanning the QR code.

When you scan the QR code you run the app in the browser. If you want to use the ChildBrowser plug-in, it has to be a hybrid (native) app, installed on the phone.

Ok I've put a button on the mainscreen1 and the on click event I added the var childBrowser = ChildBrowser.install();
window.plugins.chidBrowser.showWebPage('http://google.com');
I compile and load on the iPhone click on the button and nothing happens. What I'm I missing? The app is shared and called xapp.

Try:

cb = window.plugins.childBrowser;
cb.showWebPage("http://google.com");
