Creating Webview using Intel’s Multi-OS Engine

One of the new features introduced with Intel’s Multi-OS Engine Technical Preview is UIWebView. You can use this WebView to display online web sites as well as local html files.

This tutorial shows a very simple example of how to create a UIWebView with the Intel’s Multi-OS Engine Technical Preview on an Apple macOS development system.

  1. Within your Multi-OS Engine module, open the sample_design.ixml (UI designer) under resources/layout/sample_design.ixml.

  1. Open AppViewController and add the class variables associated to the WebView and assign them their corresponding IBOutlets.

  1. The Multi-OS Engine automatically generates all the IBOutlets in the corresponding Java* AppViewController class.

  1. Add the following code snippet in the viewDidLoad method.
String urlString = "http://sourcefreeze.com";
NSURL url = NSURL.URLWithString(urlString);
NSURLRequest nsurlRequest = NSURLRequest.requestWithURL(url);
getSampleView().loadRequest(nsurlRequest);
  1. Build and run the application. You should see the content at our requested URL (http://sourcefreeze.com) loaded into the UIWebView.
