Calling Ti API from WebView JavaScript Only Works When HTML is Local?

Hello,

In the local_webview.js file in KitchenSink, there's an example where clicking a div on the web page calls some native Titanium methods, such as Ti.API.info (see lines 46-50).

I tried doing something similar, but in my example, the web page that's displayed in the WebView is coming from a remote server, not a local HTML like the KitchenSink example. In this case, I can't get the calls to native Ti functions like Ti.API.info to work. I tried it on both Android and iPhone.

Is this expected? Do calls to native Ti functions from a web page's JavaScript only work when the HTML is coming from a local file?

Thanks!!!

-Ryan

  • Yes, only from a local source.

    • what do you mean for "local"? I have a local html file that is loaded in a webview. The browser, once the project is compiled, can't execute Ti.* operations such as Ti.App.fireEvents or Ti.API.info.

      the project works fine in native apps.
