Webview component šŸ‘€

I’ve been away, so this is a tardy announcement! :wink:

The webview component allows you to embed web pages/assets directly in your app. Add a link, choose the viewport size and decide whether you want users to be able to scroll or not.

Now you can put Glide in Glide…!

Can you webview another glide app ?

Doesn’t work when I try in staging.

Thanks for this! I’d been trying to find a way to embed a 360 spherical image and nothing had worked - but this component does the trick. (I use Momento360 to host the images.)

Have you tried using the web view action on a button instead if you need a full screen web view?

Yes, but from a button you go to the default browser and exit the app. I prefer that it stay within the app.

The ā€˜web view’ action on a button does not leave the app, however the ā€˜open link’ action will.

@JackVaughan – frankly, and with a large respect: I paid for the pro app; want to use webview component and, while testing several urls, I have received errors, either ā€œthis content is blockedā€¦ā€ or ā€œā€¦ may not allow itself to be embeddedā€¦ā€ etc. – yes, I see the note in documentation about sites ā€œpreventing themselvesā€ from being embedded… - so what do I need to do to allow the site to be embedded? line of code? it will be helpful to know - thank you!!

It is the block from the website and Glide can’t do much about this, as I understand.

Thanks @ThinhDinh - I understand – however what type of block? just for my own sanity sake I’ve tested secure and non-secure sites (those without https fail 100%, with https randomly) — google-hosted or google sites fail – so what’s the commonality here? Out of pure curiosity, I’d want to double check and perhaps even research it before I’d offer a vague statement in docs AND: I’m frankly quite ticked off at this, especially that it is advertised as a pro option …

Glide can perhaps handle the failure better and that’s what I’ve asked for.

Are you trying to webview a Glide App?

Yes from my pro to freeapp

for the Admin vs User App

I’m not entirely sure that webview would work with a Glide App, probably you can contact support to ask about that, or try a whole new empty app to see if it indeed doesn’t work.

it works in the app builder but not on the actual phone
