Overview
This snippet demonstrates how to connect a exposed QObjects signal to a JavaScript slot with Qt WebKit.
Preconditions
- Qt is installed on your platform.
- Symbian S60:
- Download Qt for Symbian release from here: Qt Downloads
- Install Qt for Symbian: Installing Qt on Symbian
- Maemo:
- More information about Qt on Maemo can be found here: Qt4 Maemo port
- Symbian S60:
- You've exposed the QObject like in this article Exposing QObjects to Qt Webkit.
Code
First we need to reference a html page and JavaScript file with the resource file. Of course the resource file has to be referenced also from the project file.
WebKit_JS_signal.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 needed resources, like the #view.html, jquery.js helper library and #signal.js.
<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/">
<file>view.html</file>
<file>jquery.js</file>
<file>signal.js</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
view.html
This is the HTML we will be displaying in the QWebView and where we'll reference the JavaScript files.

/**

*/
$(document).ready(function() {
try {
/* This connects sampleQObjects signal to our slot */
sampleQObject.signal.connect(slot);
/* This calls a slot which then in turn emits the signal. */
sampleQObject.slotThatEmitsSignal();
}
catch(e) {
alert(e);
}
});
function slot(object) {
var objectString = object.sender +
" has emited signal " +
object.signalsEmited +
" times.";
alert(objectString);
}
Postconditions
You've successfully connected to an exposed QObject signal to a JavaScript slot with Qt WebKit.
