Open links in a new tab using <webview>

[Anderson Quadros]

Hello everybody .

I'm trying to create an app that contains a web page using a <webview> .

The basic I got. My app is opening the page, but the links that open popups do not work .

I've read about the Event Listener " newwindow " . I do not know how to apply in my code .

In my html page I placed the following : <script src="controls.js"> < / script >

And controls.js file put the code :

onload = function() {

var webview = document.getElementById("SISTEMA");

var indicator = document.querySelector(".indicator");

  

var loadstart = function() {

 indicator.innerText = "carregando...";

}

var loadstop = function() {

 indicator.innerText = "";

}

webview.addEventListener("loadstart", loadstart);

webview.addEventListener("loadstop", loadstop);

webview.addEventListener('newwindow', function(e) {

 var newWebview = document.createElement('webview');

 document.body.appendChild(newWebview);

 e.window.attach(newWebview); });

  }

Where am I going wrong ?

Attached is my project . Many thanks for the help .

Can you verify that you're receiving the newwindow event? It looks like your code will handle new-window links be creating a new webview in the app window and loading target url there. Maybe your new webview element obscured by the original?

If you want to open links in a new browser window, you should instead write your newwindow handler as:

webview.addEventListener('newwindow', function(e) {

  window.open(e.targetUrl);

});

Note that this will open the URL using the system's default browser, which may not be Chrome. If it is Chrome, and a Chrome browser window is already open for the app's active profile, the target will load in a new tab within that window.

There is currently no way to always open a URL in a new Chrome tab from within an app, but that is coming. Not sure what the API will look like, but +rpaquay who worked on that.

Was the tab API for apps released? We would like to add tab functionality to our kiosk application which uses <webview>, ideally without re-rolling our own tab functionality using a 'newwindow' event listener.
