Overview
This snippet demonstrates how to call an exposed QObject slot from the Qt WebKit with JavaScript.
Preconditions
- Qt is installed on your platform.
- Symbian S60:
- Download Qt release from here: Qt Downloads
- Install Qt: How to Install Qt
- Maemo:
- More information about Qt on Maemo can be found here: Qt4 Maemo port
- Symbian S60:
- You've exposed the QObject as demonstrated in the article Exposing QObjects to Qt Webkit.
Code
First, we need to reference a HTML page and a JavaScript file with the resource file. Of course, the resource file must be referenced also from the project file.
WebKit_JS_slot.pro
QT += webkit
TARGET = WebKit_JS_slot
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp \
mainwindow.cpp \
sampleqobject.cpp
HEADERS += mainwindow.h \
sampleqobject.h
FORMS += mainwindow.ui
RESOURCES += resources.qrc
resources.qrc
Here we reference all the required resources, like #view.html, the jquery.js helper library, and #slot.js.
<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/">
<file>view.html</file>
<file>jquery.js</file>
<file>slot.js</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
view.html
This is the HTML that we will display in the QWebView and where we'll reference the JavaScript files.

<body>

</html>
slot.js
/**
* This is run after the the web page has been rendered.
* $(document).ready documented here:
* http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Introducing_$(document).ready()
*/
$(document).ready(function() {
try {
var object = {intValue: 1};
/* This calls a slot which returns another object back */
var returnedObject = sampleQObject.slotThatReturns(object);
/* This outputs "1 added bonus."*/
alert(returnedObject.stringValue);
}
catch(e) {
alert(e);
}
});
