Qt WebKit and HTML5 geolocation

 

I’m learning HTML5 and testing the new features on a Qt hybrid application.
Now I’m working on a simple geolocation example but when I call navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(displayLocation); it seems the QtWebKit does not support it, but acording to this http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitFeatures22 the version of QtWebKit that comes with Qt4.8.0 supports geolocation.

This is the code I’m using:

 

1. window.onload = function()
2. {
3.     getMyLocation();      
4. }
5.  
6. function getMyLocation()
7. {
8.     if(navigator.geolocation)
9.     {
10.         navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(displayLocation);        
11.     }  
12.     else
13.     {
14.         alert("No geolocation support");  
15.     }
16. }
17.  
18. function displayLocation(position)
19. {
20.     var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
21.     var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
22.    
23.     var div = document.getElementById("location");
24.    
25.     div[removed] = "You are at Latitude: " + latitude + ", Longitude: " + longitude;  
26. }

 

 

1. QWebView* MyWindow::createWebView()
2.     {
3.         QWebSettings* default_settings = QWebSettings::globalSettings();
4.         default_settings->setAttribute(QWebSettings::JavascriptEnabled,true);
5.         default_settings->setAttribute(QWebSettings::OfflineStorageDatabaseEnabled,true);
6.         default_settings->setAttribute(QWebSettings::OfflineWebApplicationCacheEnabled,true);
7.         default_settings->setAttribute(QWebSettings::LocalContentCanAccessRemoteUrls,true);        
8.         default_settings->setAttribute(QWebSettings::LocalStorageEnabled,true);
9.         default_settings->setAttribute(QWebSettings::JavascriptCanAccessClipboard,true);
10.         default_settings->setAttribute(QWebSettings::DeveloperExtrasEnabled,true);
11.  
12.         QWebView* web_view = new QWebView(this);
13.  
14.         connect(web_view->page()->mainFrame(), SIGNAL(javaScriptWindowObjectCleared()),
15.                 this, SLOT(addJavascriptObject()));
16.  
17.         inspector_->setPage(web_view->page());
18.  
19.         inspector_->setVisible(true);
20.         inspector_->show();
21.  
22.         web_view->load(QUrl("qrc:/html/geolocation_example.html"));
23.        
24.         return web_view;
25.     }

 

Anyone knows how to enable geolocation for a desktop app?
