I'm using pyqt4's QWebView to display html files, this way it works like an app switcher. One problem I've run into is not being able to grant access HTML5 Geo Location. I read in another question on the same topic that there need to be a signal with QWebPage unfortunately the code pertained to c++ so I'm not sure how to convert it to python as I'm new to pyqt4. So if the question is not clear; How do I get QWebView to allow HTML5 GeoLocation?
This is what I have so far
class HTML_handler(QtWebKit.QWebView):
def __init__(self):
super(HTML_handler,self).__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
page = webpage()
page.mainFrame().setUrl(QtCore.QUrl("file:///home/dev/Documents/WebPages/weather.html"))
self.setPage(page)
#self.load(QtCore.QUrl("file:///home/dev/Documents/WebPages/weather.html")) //method before introducing QWebPage
self.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint) #| QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
self.loadApps()
self.show() #FullScreen()
class webpage(QtWebKit.QWebPage):
trigger = QtCore.pyqtSignal(); //not used because can\'t figure how to
def __init__(self):
super(webpage,self).__init__()
def featurePermissionRequested(self, *args, **kwargs): //QWebPage signal, not being used correctly though
self.setFeaturePermission(QtWebKit.QWebPage.PermissionGrantedByUser)
EDIT: Or atleast show me how to convert this to python
class WebPage : public QWebPage
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
WebPage(QObject* parent = 0) :
QWebPage(parent)
{
connect(this, SIGNAL(featurePermissionRequested(QWebFrame*, QWebPage::Feature)), SLOT(permissionRequested(QWebFrame*, QWebPage::Feature)));
}
virtual ~WebPage()
{
}
private slots:
void permissionRequested(QWebFrame* frame, QWebPage::Feature feature)
{
setFeaturePermission(frame, feature, PermissionGrantedByUser);
}
};
