Description
Summary:
Titanium currently documents that the WebView.setHtml() method supports a 2nd argument on Android and iOS which can provide a "baseURL" setting. Android used to support this, but it was inadvertently removed in Titanium 6.0.3. This feature should be re-added since it's needed by "iframes" to indicate which URL an iframe's embedded paths are relative to.
For example, a YouTube video embedded within an iframe will not play on Android or iOS unless a "baseURL" of "https://www.youtube.com" is provided.
Steps to reproduce:
- Build and run the below code on Android.
- Tap on the video to attempt to play it.
- Notice that the video won't play. Instead it reads "Video Unavailable".
- Build and run on iOS.
- Tap on the video play it.
- Notice that the video plays fine. (This is because the "baseURL" is being used.)
var htmlText = |
'<!DOCTYPE html>' + |
'<html>' + |
' <body>' + |
' <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen/>' + |
' </body>' + |
'</html>'; |

|
var window = Ti.UI.createWindow(); |
var webView = Ti.UI.createWebView(); |
//webView.html = htmlText;
|
webView.setHtml(htmlText, { baseURL: "https://www.youtube.com" }); |
window.add(webView);
|
window.open();
|
Work-Around:
The "baseURL" is not needed if the webpage was loaded from the Internet (ie: the "url" property). That is, "baseURL" is only applicable when loading HTML from string. So, hosting the webpage on your own web server will work-around this problem.
