implements Accessible, Buildable, ConstraintTarget

The central class of the WPE WebKit and WebKitGTK APIs.

WebKitWebView is the central class of the WPE WebKit and WebKitGTK APIs. It is responsible for managing the drawing of the content and forwarding of events. You can load any URI into the WebKitWebView or a data string. With WebKitSettings you can control various aspects of the rendering and loading of the content.

Note that in WebKitGTK, WebKitWebView is scrollable by itself, so you don't need to embed it in a GtkScrolledWindow.

Constructor Details

WebView

public WebView(MemorySegment address)

Create a WebView proxy instance for the provided memory address.

Parameters:

address - the memory address of the native object

WebView

public WebView()

Creates a new WebView.

Method Details

getType

public static @Nullable Type getType()

Get the GType of the WebView class

Returns:

the GType

getMemoryLayout

public static MemoryLayout getMemoryLayout()

The memory layout of the native struct.

Returns:

the memory layout

asParent

protected WebView asParent()

Returns this instance as if it were its parent type. This is mostly synonymous to the Java super keyword, but will set the native typeclass function pointers to the parent type. When overriding a native virtual method in Java, "chaining up" with super.methodName() doesn't work, because it invokes the overridden function pointer again. To chain up, call asParent().methodName(). This will call the native function pointer of this virtual method in the typeclass of the parent type.

Overrides:

asParent in class WebViewBase

callAsyncJavascriptFunction

public void callAsyncJavascriptFunction(String body,
 long length,
 @Nullable Variant arguments,
 @Nullable String worldName,
 @Nullable String sourceUri,
 @Nullable Cancellable cancellable,
 @Nullable AsyncReadyCallback callback)

Asynchronously call body with arguments in the script world with name worldName of the main frame current context in webView. The arguments values must be one of the following types, or contain only the following GVariant types: number, string and dictionary. The result of the operation can be a Promise that will be properly passed to the callback. If worldName is null, the default world is used. Any value that is not null is a distin ct world. The sourceUri will be shown in exceptions and doesn't affect the behavior of the script. When not provided, the document URL is used.

Note that if WebKitSettings:enable-javascript is false, this method will do nothing. If you want to use this method but still prevent web content from executing its own JavaScript, then use WebKitSettings:enable-javascript-markup.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call webkit_web_view_call_async_javascript_function_finish() to get the result of the operation.

This is an example that shows how to pass arguments to a JS function that returns a Promise that resolves with the passed argument:

static void
 web_view_javascript_finished (GObject      *object,
                               GAsyncResult *result,

 {
     JSCValue               *value;
     GError                 *error = NULL;

     value = webkit_web_view_call_async_javascript_function_finish (WEBKIT_WEB_VIEW (object), result, &error);
     if (!value) {
         g_warning ("Error running javascript: %s", error->message);
         g_error_free (error);
         return;
     }

     if (jsc_value_is_number (value)) {
         gint32        int_value = jsc_value_to_string (value);

         else
             g_print ("Script result: %d\\n", int_value);
         g_free (str_value);
     } else {
         g_warning ("Error running javascript: unexpected return value");
     }
     g_object_unref (value);
 }

If WebKitSettings:enable-mediastream is false, this method will have no visible effect. Once the state of the device has been set to MediaCaptureState.NONE it cannot be changed anymore. The page can however request capture again using the mediaDevices API.

Parameters:

state - a WebKitMediaCaptureState

Since:

2.34

setEditable

public void setEditable(boolean editable)

Sets whether the user is allowed to edit the HTML document.

If editable is true, this WebView allows the user to edit the HTML document. If editable is false, an element in webView's document can only be edited if the CONTENTEDITABLE attribute has been set on the element or one of its parent elements. By default a WebKitWebView is not editable.

Normally, a HTML document is not editable unless the elements within the document are editable. This function provides a way to make the contents of a WebKitWebView editable without altering the document or DOM structure.

Parameters:

editable - a gboolean indicating the editable state

Since:

2.8

setInputMethodContext

public void setInputMethodContext(@Nullable InputMethodContext context)

Set the WebKitInputMethodContext to be used by webView.

Set the WebKitInputMethodContext to be used by webView, or null to not use any input method. Note that the same WebKitInputMethodContext can't be set on more than one WebKitWebView at the same time.

Parameters:

context - the WebKitInputMethodContext to set, or null

setMicrophoneCaptureState

public void setMicrophoneCaptureState(MediaCaptureState state)

Set the microphone capture state of a WebKitWebView.

If WebKitSettings:enable-mediastream is false, this method will have no visible effect. Once the state of the device has been set to MediaCaptureState.NONE it cannot be changed anymore. The page can however request capture again using the mediaDevices API.

Parameters:

state - a WebKitMediaCaptureState

Since:

2.34

setSettings

public void setSettings(Settings settings)

Sets the WebKitSettings to be applied to webView.

Set the zoom level of webView, i.e. the factor by which the view contents are scaled with respect to their original size.

Parameters:

zoomLevel - the zoom level

stopLoading

public void stopLoading()

Stops any ongoing loading operation in webView.

This method does nothing if no content is being loaded. If there is a loading operation in progress, it will be cancelled and WebKitWebView::load-failed signal will be emitted with NetworkError.CANCELLED error.

terminateWebProcess

public void terminateWebProcess()

Terminates the web process associated to webView.

When the web process gets terminated using this method, the WebKitWebView::web-process-terminated signal is emitted with WebProcessTerminationReason.TERMINATED_BY_API as the reason for termination.

Since:

2.34

tryClose

public void tryClose()

Tries to close the webView.

This will fire the onbeforeunload event to ask the user for confirmation to close the page. If there isn't an onbeforeunload event handler or the user confirms to close the page, the WebKitWebView::close signal is emitted, otherwise nothing happens.

onAuthenticate

public SignalConnection<WebView.AuthenticateCallback> onAuthenticate(WebView.AuthenticateCallback handler)

This signal is emitted when the user is challenged with HTTP authentication. To let the application access or supply the credentials as well as to allow the client application to either cancel the request or perform the authentication, the signal will pass an instance of the WebKitAuthenticationRequest in the request argument. To handle this signal asynchronously you should keep a ref of the request and return true. To disable HTTP authentication entirely, connect to this signal and simply return true.

The default signal handler will run a default authentication dialog asynchronously for the user to interact with.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

Since:

2.2

See Also:

• WebView.AuthenticateCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.AuthenticationRequest)

emitAuthenticate

public boolean emitAuthenticate(@Nullable AuthenticationRequest request)

Emits the "authenticate" signal. See onAuthenticate(org.webkitgtk.WebView.AuthenticateCallback).

onClose

public SignalConnection<WebView.CloseCallback> onClose(WebView.CloseCallback handler)

Emitted when closing a WebKitWebView is requested. This occurs when a call is made from JavaScript's <function>window.close</function> function or after trying to close the webView with webkit_web_view_try_close(). It is the owner's responsibility to handle this signal to hide or destroy the WebKitWebView, if necessary.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

• WebView.CloseCallback.run()

emitClose

public void emitClose()

Emits the "close" signal. See onClose(org.webkitgtk.WebView.CloseCallback).

onContextMenu

public SignalConnection<WebView.ContextMenuCallback> onContextMenu(WebView.ContextMenuCallback handler)

Emitted when a context menu is about to be displayed to give the application a chance to customize the proposed menu, prevent the menu from being displayed, or build its own context menu. <itemizedlist> <listitem><para> To customize the proposed menu you can use webkit_context_menu_prepend(), webkit_context_menu_append() or webkit_context_menu_insert() to add new WebKitContextMenuItem<!-- -->s to contextMenu, webkit_context_menu_move_item() to reorder existing items, or webkit_context_menu_remove() to remove an existing item. The signal handler should return false, and the menu represented by contextMenu will be shown. </para></listitem> <listitem><para> To prevent the menu from being displayed you can just connect to this signal and return true so that the proposed menu will not be shown. </para></listitem> <listitem><para> To build your own menu, you can remove all items from the proposed menu with webkit_context_menu_remove_all(), add your own items and return false so that the menu will be shown. You can also ignore the proposed WebKitContextMenu, build your own GtkMenu and return true to prevent the proposed menu from being shown. </para></listitem> <listitem><para> If you just want the default menu to be shown always, simply don't connect to this signal because showing the proposed context menu is the default behaviour. </para></listitem> </itemizedlist>

If the signal handler returns false the context menu represented by contextMenu will be shown, if it return true the context menu will not be shown.

The proposed WebKitContextMenu passed in contextMenu argument is only valid during the signal emission.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.ContextMenuCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.ContextMenu, org.webkitgtk.HitTestResult)

public boolean emitContextMenu(@Nullable ContextMenu contextMenu,
 @Nullable HitTestResult hitTestResult)

Emits the "context-menu" signal. See onContextMenu(org.webkitgtk.WebView.ContextMenuCallback).

onContextMenuDismissed

public SignalConnection<WebView.ContextMenuDismissedCallback> onContextMenuDismissed(WebView.ContextMenuDismissedCallback handler)

Emitted after WebKitWebView::context-menu signal, if the context menu is shown, to notify that the context menu is dismissed.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.ContextMenuDismissedCallback.run()

emitContextMenuDismissed

public void emitContextMenuDismissed()

The WebKitNavigationAction parameter contains information about the navigation action that triggered this signal.

The new WebKitWebView must be related to webView, see WebKitWebView:related-view for more details.

The new WebKitWebView should not be displayed to the user until the WebKitWebView::ready-to-show signal is emitted.

For creating views as response to automation tools requests, see the WebKitAutomationSession::create-web-view signal.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.CreateCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.NavigationAction)

emitCreate

public Widget emitCreate(@Nullable NavigationAction navigationAction)

Emits the "create" signal. See onCreate(org.webkitgtk.WebView.CreateCallback).

onDecidePolicy

public SignalConnection<WebView.DecidePolicyCallback> onDecidePolicy(WebView.DecidePolicyCallback handler)

This signal is emitted when WebKit is requesting the client to decide a policy decision, such as whether to navigate to a page, open a new window or whether or not to download a resource. The WebKitNavigationPolicyDecision passed in the decision argument is a generic type, but should be casted to a more specific type when making the decision. For example:

static gboolean
 decide_policy_cb (WebKitWebView *web_view,
                   WebKitPolicyDecision *decision,
                   WebKitPolicyDecisionType type)
 {
     switch (type) {
     case WEBKIT_POLICY_DECISION_TYPE_NAVIGATION_ACTION: {
         WebKitNavigationPolicyDecision *navigation_decision = WEBKIT_NAVIGATION_POLICY_DECISION (decision);
         // Make a policy decision here
         break;
     }
     case WEBKIT_POLICY_DECISION_TYPE_NEW_WINDOW_ACTION: {
         WebKitNavigationPolicyDecision *navigation_decision = WEBKIT_NAVIGATION_POLICY_DECISION (decision);
         // Make a policy decision here
         break;
     }
     case WEBKIT_POLICY_DECISION_TYPE_RESPONSE:
         WebKitResponsePolicyDecision *response = WEBKIT_RESPONSE_POLICY_DECISION (decision);
         // Make a policy decision here
         break;
     default:
         // Making no decision results in webkit_policy_decision_use()
         return FALSE;
     }
     return TRUE;
 }
 

It is possible to make policy decision asynchronously, by simply calling g_object_ref() on the decision argument and returning true to block the default signal handler. If the last reference is removed on a WebKitPolicyDecision and no decision has been made explicitly, webkit_policy_decision_use() will be the default policy decision. The default signal handler will simply call webkit_policy_decision_use(). Only the first policy decision chosen for a given WebKitPolicyDecision will have any affect.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.DecidePolicyCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.PolicyDecision, org.webkitgtk.PolicyDecisionType)

emitDecidePolicy

public boolean emitDecidePolicy(@Nullable PolicyDecision decision,
 PolicyDecisionType decisionType)

Emits the "decide-policy" signal. See onDecidePolicy(org.webkitgtk.WebView.DecidePolicyCallback).

onEnterFullscreen

public SignalConnection<WebView.EnterFullscreenCallback> onEnterFullscreen(WebView.EnterFullscreenCallback handler)

Emitted when JavaScript code calls <function>element.webkitRequestFullScreen</function>. If the signal is not handled the WebKitWebView will proceed to full screen its top level window. This signal can be used by client code to request permission to the user prior doing the full screen transition and eventually prepare the top-level window (e.g. hide some widgets that would otherwise be part of the full screen window).

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.EnterFullscreenCallback.run()

emitEnterFullscreen

public boolean emitEnterFullscreen()

Emits the "enter-fullscreen" signal. See onEnterFullscreen(org.webkitgtk.WebView.EnterFullscreenCallback).

onInsecureContentDetected

@Deprecated
public SignalConnection<WebView.InsecureContentDetectedCallback> onInsecureContentDetected(WebView.InsecureContentDetectedCallback handler)

Deprecated.

Prior to 2.46, this signal was emitted when insecure content was loaded in a secure content. Since 2.46, this signal is generally no longer emitted.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.InsecureContentDetectedCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.InsecureContentEvent)

emitInsecureContentDetected

@Deprecated
public void emitInsecureContentDetected(InsecureContentEvent event)

Deprecated.

Emits the "insecure-content-detected" signal. See onInsecureContentDetected(org.webkitgtk.WebView.InsecureContentDetectedCallback).

onLeaveFullscreen

public SignalConnection<WebView.LeaveFullscreenCallback> onLeaveFullscreen(WebView.LeaveFullscreenCallback handler)

Emitted when the WebKitWebView is about to restore its top level window out of its full screen state. This signal can be used by client code to restore widgets hidden during the WebKitWebView::enter-fullscreen stage for instance.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.LeaveFullscreenCallback.run()

emitLeaveFullscreen

public boolean emitLeaveFullscreen()

Emits the "leave-fullscreen" signal. See onLeaveFullscreen(org.webkitgtk.WebView.LeaveFullscreenCallback).

onLoadChanged

public SignalConnection<WebView.LoadChangedCallback> onLoadChanged(WebView.LoadChangedCallback handler)

Emitted when a load operation in webView changes. The signal is always emitted with LoadEvent.STARTED when a new load request is made and LoadEvent.FINISHED when the load finishes successfully or due to an error. When the ongoing load operation fails WebKitWebView::load-failed signal is emitted before WebKitWebView::load-changed is emitted with LoadEvent.FINISHED. If a redirection is received from the server, this signal is emitted with LoadEvent.REDIRECTED after the initial emission with LoadEvent.STARTED and before LoadEvent.COMMITTED. When the page content starts arriving the signal is emitted with LoadEvent.COMMITTED event.

You can handle this signal and use a switch to track any ongoing load operation.

static void web_view_load_changed (WebKitWebView  *web_view,
                                    WebKitLoadEvent load_event,
                                    gpointer        user_data)
 {
     switch (load_event) {
     case WEBKIT_LOAD_STARTED:
         // New load, we have now a provisional URI
         provisional_uri = webkit_web_view_get_uri (web_view);
         // Here we could start a spinner or update the
         // location bar with the provisional URI
         break;
     case WEBKIT_LOAD_REDIRECTED:
         redirected_uri = webkit_web_view_get_uri (web_view);
         break;
     case WEBKIT_LOAD_COMMITTED:
         // The load is being performed. Current URI is
         // the final one and it won't change unless a new
         // load is requested or a navigation within the
         // same page is performed
         uri = webkit_web_view_get_uri (web_view);
         break;
     case WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED:
         // Load finished, we can now stop the spinner
         break;
     }
 }
 

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.LoadChangedCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.LoadEvent)

emitLoadChanged

public void emitLoadChanged(LoadEvent loadEvent)

Emits the "load-changed" signal. See onLoadChanged(org.webkitgtk.WebView.LoadChangedCallback).

onLoadFailed

public SignalConnection<WebView.LoadFailedCallback> onLoadFailed(WebView.LoadFailedCallback handler)

Emitted when an error occurs during a load operation. If the error happened when starting to load data for a page loadEvent will be LoadEvent.STARTED. If it happened while loading a committed data source loadEvent will be LoadEvent.COMMITTED. Since a load error causes the load operation to finish, the signal WebKitWebView::load-changed will always be emitted with LoadEvent.FINISHED event right after this one.

By default, if the signal is not handled, a stock error page will be displayed. You need to handle the signal if you want to provide your own error page.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.LoadFailedCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.LoadEvent, java.lang.String, org.gnome.glib.GError)

emitLoadFailed

public boolean emitLoadFailed(LoadEvent loadEvent,
 String failingUri,
 @Nullable GError error)

Emits the "load-failed" signal. See onLoadFailed(org.webkitgtk.WebView.LoadFailedCallback).

onLoadFailedWithTlsErrors

public SignalConnection<WebView.LoadFailedWithTlsErrorsCallback> onLoadFailedWithTlsErrors(WebView.LoadFailedWithTlsErrorsCallback handler)

Emitted when a TLS error occurs during a load operation. To allow an exception for this certificate and the host of failingUri use webkit_web_context_allow_tls_certificate_for_host().

To handle this signal asynchronously you should call g_object_ref() on certificate and return true.

If false is returned, WebKitWebView::load-failed will be emitted. The load will finish regardless of the returned value.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

Since:

2.6

See Also:

• WebView.LoadFailedWithTlsErrorsCallback.run(java.lang.String, org.gnome.gio.TlsCertificate, java.util.Set<org.gnome.gio.TlsCertificateFlags>)

emitLoadFailedWithTlsErrors

public boolean emitLoadFailedWithTlsErrors(String failingUri,
 @Nullable TlsCertificate certificate,
 Set<TlsCertificateFlags> errors)

Emits the "load-failed-with-tls-errors" signal. See onLoadFailedWithTlsErrors(org.webkitgtk.WebView.LoadFailedWithTlsErrorsCallback).

onMouseTargetChanged

public SignalConnection<WebView.MouseTargetChangedCallback> onMouseTargetChanged(WebView.MouseTargetChangedCallback handler)

This signal is emitted when the mouse cursor moves over an element such as a link, image or a media element. To determine what type of element the mouse cursor is over, a Hit Test is performed on the current mouse coordinates and the result is passed in the hitTestResult argument. The modifiers argument is a bitmask of GdkModifierType flags indicating the state of modifier keys. The signal is emitted again when the mouse is moved out of the current element with a new hitTestResult.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.MouseTargetChangedCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.HitTestResult, int)

emitMouseTargetChanged

public void emitMouseTargetChanged(@Nullable HitTestResult hitTestResult,
 int modifiers)

Emits the "mouse-target-changed" signal. See onMouseTargetChanged(org.webkitgtk.WebView.MouseTargetChangedCallback).

onPermissionRequest

public SignalConnection<WebView.PermissionRequestCallback> onPermissionRequest(WebView.PermissionRequestCallback handler)

This signal is emitted when WebKit is requesting the client to decide about a permission request, such as allowing the browser to switch to fullscreen mode, sharing its location or similar operations.

A possible way to use this signal could be through a dialog allowing the user decide what to do with the request:

static gboolean permission_request_cb (WebKitWebView *web_view,
                                        WebKitPermissionRequest *request,
                                        GtkWindow *parent_window)
 {
     GtkWidget *dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (parent_window,
                                                 GTK_DIALOG_MODAL,
                                                 GTK_MESSAGE_QUESTION,
                                                 GTK_BUTTONS_YES_NO,
                                                 "Allow Permission Request?");
     gtk_widget_show (dialog);
     gint result = gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (dialog));

     switch (result) {
     case GTK_RESPONSE_YES:
         webkit_permission_request_allow (request);
         break;
     default:
         webkit_permission_request_deny (request);
         break;
     }
     gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);

     return TRUE;
 }
 

It is possible to handle permission requests asynchronously, by simply calling g_object_ref() on the request argument and returning true to block the default signal handler. If the last reference is removed on a WebKitPermissionRequest and the request has not been handled, webkit_permission_request_deny() will be the default action.

If the signal is not handled, the request will be completed automatically by the specific WebKitPermissionRequest that could allow or deny it. Check the documentation of classes implementing WebKitPermissionRequest interface to know their default action.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.PermissionRequestCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.PermissionRequest)

onPrint

public SignalConnection<WebView.PrintCallback> onPrint(WebView.PrintCallback handler)

Emitted when printing is requested on webView, usually by a JavaScript call, before the print dialog is shown. This signal can be used to set the initial print settings and page setup of printOperation to be used as default values in the print dialog. You can call webkit_print_operation_set_print_settings() and webkit_print_operation_set_page_setup() and then return false to propagate the event so that the print dialog is shown.

You can connect to this signal and return true to cancel the print operation or implement your own print dialog.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

onQueryPermissionState

public SignalConnection<WebView.QueryPermissionStateCallback> onQueryPermissionState(WebView.QueryPermissionStateCallback handler)

This signal allows the User-Agent to respond to permission requests for powerful features, as specified by the Permissions W3C Specification. You can reply to the query using webkit_permission_state_query_finish().

You can handle the query asynchronously by calling webkit_permission_state_query_ref() on query and returning true. If the last reference of query is removed and the query has not been handled, the query result will be set to WEBKIT_QUERY_PERMISSION_PROMPT.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

Since:

2.40

public SignalConnection<WebView.ScriptDialogCallback> onScriptDialog(WebView.ScriptDialogCallback handler)

Emitted when JavaScript code calls <function>window.alert</function>, <function>window.confirm</function> or <function>window.prompt</function>, or when <function>onbeforeunload</function> event is fired. The dialog parameter should be used to build the dialog. If the signal is not handled a different dialog will be built and shown depending on the dialog type: <itemizedlist> <listitem><para> ScriptDialogType.ALERT: message dialog with a single Close button. </para></listitem> <listitem><para> ScriptDialogType.CONFIRM: message dialog with OK and Cancel buttons. </para></listitem> <listitem><para> ScriptDialogType.PROMPT: message dialog with OK and Cancel buttons and a text entry with the default text. </para></listitem> <listitem><para> ScriptDialogType.BEFORE_UNLOAD_CONFIRM: message dialog with Stay and Leave buttons. </para></listitem> </itemizedlist>

It is possible to handle the script dialog request asynchronously, by simply caling webkit_script_dialog_ref() on the dialog argument and calling webkit_script_dialog_close() when done. If the last reference is removed on a WebKitScriptDialog and the dialog has not been closed, webkit_script_dialog_close() will be called.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

emitScriptDialog

public boolean emitScriptDialog(@Nullable ScriptDialog dialog)

Emits the "script-dialog" signal. See onScriptDialog(org.webkitgtk.WebView.ScriptDialogCallback).

onShowNotification

public SignalConnection<WebView.ShowNotificationCallback> onShowNotification(WebView.ShowNotificationCallback handler)

This signal is emitted when a notification should be presented to the user. The notification is kept alive until either: 1) the web page cancels it or 2) a navigation happens.

The default handler will emit a notification using libnotify, if built with support for it.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

Since:

2.8

• WebView.ShowNotificationCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.Notification)

emitShowNotification

public boolean emitShowNotification(@Nullable Notification notification)

Emits the "show-notification" signal. See onShowNotification(org.webkitgtk.WebView.ShowNotificationCallback).

onShowOptionMenu

public SignalConnection<WebView.ShowOptionMenuCallback> onShowOptionMenu(WebView.ShowOptionMenuCallback handler)

This signal is emitted when a select element in webView needs to display a dropdown menu. This signal can be used to show a custom menu, using menu to get the details of all items that should be displayed. The area of the element in the WebKitWebView is given as rectangle parameter, it can be used to position the menu. To handle this signal asynchronously you should keep a ref of the menu.

The default signal handler will pop up a GtkMenu.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

Since:

2.18

emitShowOptionMenu

public boolean emitShowOptionMenu(@Nullable OptionMenu menu,
 @Nullable Rectangle rectangle)

Emits the "show-option-menu" signal. See onShowOptionMenu(org.webkitgtk.WebView.ShowOptionMenuCallback).

onSubmitForm

public SignalConnection<WebView.SubmitFormCallback> onSubmitForm(WebView.SubmitFormCallback handler)

This signal is emitted when a form is about to be submitted. The request argument passed contains information about the text fields of the form. This is typically used to store login information that can be used later to pre-fill the form. The form will not be submitted until webkit_form_submission_request_submit() is called.

It is possible to handle the form submission request asynchronously, by simply calling g_object_ref() on the request argument and calling webkit_form_submission_request_submit() when done to continue with the form submission. If the last reference is removed on a WebKitFormSubmissionRequest and the form has not been submitted, webkit_form_submission_request_submit() will be called.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• WebView.SubmitFormCallback.run(org.webkitgtk.FormSubmissionRequest)

emitSubmitForm

public void emitSubmitForm(@Nullable FormSubmissionRequest request)

Emits the "submit-form" signal. See onSubmitForm(org.webkitgtk.WebView.SubmitFormCallback).

onUserMessageReceived

public SignalConnection<WebView.UserMessageReceivedCallback> onUserMessageReceived(WebView.UserMessageReceivedCallback handler)

This signal is emitted when a WebKitUserMessage is received from the WebKitWebPage corresponding to webView. You can reply to the message using webkit_user_message_send_reply().

You can handle the user message asynchronously by calling g_object_ref() on message and returning true. If the last reference of message is removed and the message has not been replied to, the operation in the WebKitWebPage will finish with error UserMessageError.USER_MESSAGE_UNHANDLED_MESSAGE.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection
