Imagine you like to display the html help document of your game which is online on your website, in your game’s help page too… As you have full communication between AS3 and JS, you can easily tell JS that you’re viewing the page inside the app, so that it can load a different CSS stylesheets or add customized elements in the html page! Possibilities are limitless…
Managing WebView position and dimension on the stage
RichWebView will be added on top of your Air stage but you can easily move it around or change the x, y, width and height positions to make it fit in the best way you wish inside your Adobe Air application.
Supporting iFrame and HTML5 videos
HTML5 supports video playback and of course native WebView on Android and iOS support that too. Because RichWebView is built on native WebView libraries, you will have full support on playing videos or even embedding iFrame videos from Vimeo or YouTube.
Taking Screenshot from the web content
RichWebView allows you to take fullscreen screenshots from your web content and returns the Bitmap Data of it to the Actionscript side.
Supporting HTML GPS APIs
To be able to access GPS information in your HTML content is easy with RichWebView. We have taken care of all the required settings and all you have to do is to use Javascript GPS APIs and read GPS information in your HTML content. Which again the sample files in the package include an example of reading GPS information.
Support for almost all HTML input fields like file picker element
RichWebView supports almost all different form input fields available in HTML. The coolest one though is the file input field which will open a dialog over your app and lets you select a file. Then the result will be sent to your Javascript functions.
Supporting custom color or transparent backgrounds
With RichWebView you can decide if you want your web content have transparent background or any other color of your choice.
TouchEvent to know when the WebView is touched
Although you have full communication between JS and AS sides, with this native extension you can listen for TouchEvents so you will know when the user is touching over the web content.
Optionally prevent URL loads and let Air handle them
There are times when you wish to prevent Webview from opening URLs in the normal way and instead, you wish to let Air handle the user touch on a URL link, You can easily do that with Rich Webview.
Android customtabs & iOS safariViewController
Enjoy using the default browser features inside of your AIR application. You can use Android customtabs or iOS safariViewController to open the device’s default browser inside of your app without leaving the application. Some functions are customizable, such as the browser color scheme, items of the browser’s menu, and etc. And all of these stuff are accessible by one easy AS3 API for both, Android and iOS. Cheers!
Providing 100% identical AS3 API
We spent countless hours discussing the differences between iOS and Android Native WebView APIs and created a completely new approach toward these functionalities to make sure the resulting AS3 API will be not only 100% identical on both platforms but also super easy to work with.
