Open external links from flash player hosted on QWebKit - c++

Question

i have flash player running on QWebkit , and on the flash player there are some web links
that needs to be open in external browser , what i did is :
m_webView->page()->setLinkDelegationPolicy(QWebPage::LinkDelegationPolicy::DelegateAllLinks);
connect(m_webView->page(),SIGNAL(linkClicked(const QUrl&)),
this,
SLOT(linkClickedHandler(const QUrl&)),Qt::DirectConnection);
void WebBroswerDeleget::linkClickedHandler(const QUrl& url)
{
QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl(url.toString(), QUrl::TolerantMode));
}
but its never triggered even of i change in the connect from m_webView->page() to m_webView

Answer 1

i overrided the QWebview::createWindow like this:
QWebView* MyAdWebview::createWindow (QWebPage::WebWindowType type)
{
QWebView* p = new QWebView(0);
connect(p->page()->networkAccessManager(), SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), this, SLOT(newWindowLoadFinished(QNetworkReply*)), Qt::UniqueConnection);
return p;
}
void MyAdWebview::newWindowLoadFinished(QNetworkReply* reply) {
QDesktopServices::openUrl(reply->url().toString());
}
QDesktopServices::openUrl is a cutom function which opens the default system browser with this url

This is working for me on both 4.7.2 QtEmbedded and 4.8.1 on mac. What I don't understand is this:
m_webView->page()->setLinkDelegationPolicy(QWebPage::LinkDelegationPolicy::DelegateAllLinks);
Just do:
m_webView->page()->setLinkDelegationPolicy(QWebPage::DelegateAllLinks);
Something like this works for me:
#include <QWebPage>
#include <QWebView>
#include <QApplication>
#include "sigrec.h"
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
SigRec rec;
QWebView view;
view.page()->setLinkDelegationPolicy(QWebPage::DelegateAllLinks);
QObject::connect(view.page(), SIGNAL(linkClicked(const QUrl&)), &rec, SLOT(onLinkClicked(const QUrl&)),
Qt::DirectConnection);
view.show();
view.setUrl(QUrl("http://www.google.com"));
return a.exec();
}
Where SigRec is something like this:
#ifndef SIGREC_H
#define SIGREC_H
#include <QObject>
#include <QUrl>
class SigRec : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit SigRec(QObject *parent = 0);
public slots:
void onLinkClicked(const QUrl &url);
};
#endif // SIGREC_H
