Not sure about it. So far we have evas object that owns ewkview and ewkview owns webview, at least it is clearly determined how all 
those objects are created and deleted. Now it becomes more complicated.. like if WKViewCreateEvasObject was invoked web view memory management is done one way and if WKViewCreateEvasObject wasn't invoked it should be done totally different.

think assertion is enough here. WebView will own its focus state after bug110877 is fixed.

that is great that we use WKPageSetUseFixedLayout and drop this annoying ViewBehavior, I guess it could be done even as a separate patch.

That is unchanged.

huh? It makes it possible to use the C API without EFL, which is the whole point. If you don't invoke it, you have to EwkView nor an Evas_Object.

It will go away when the EwkView doesn't store the EwkContext but just the C API one.

Yes, it can be removed then, right now it will crash without this.

WebView is API object, we need adoption here. think it's worth having WebView::create()

view also needs adoption, WKViewCreateEvasObject will retain it

+FIXME

[Caio Marcelo de Oliveira Filho]

It seems that when you use an EFL web view, you want it to be an EvasObject, so I think should be way more simpler to make the EFL API use the WKViewCreate by itself instead of making the calling code do that.

EFL API would expose a way to get the WKViewRef/WKPageRef in order to use other WK2 C API calls.

In this scenario we'll have:

- WKViewRef/WebView as the "raw" web view API. One can use WKViewCreate() to use them.
- ewk_view_*/EwkView as the EFL web view API. It uses WKViewCreate() itself, it exposes its WKViewRef and WKPageRef for sharing code in tests and places that make a "PlatformWebView" abstraction and use WK2 C API.

This approach avoids the (IMHO) confusing WKViewCreateEvasObject() function, that does a lot of stuff behind that name: sligthly change ownership expectation about WKView, should be called only once per WebView, change the WK2 clients by itself.

I think this shouldn't be here.

It was pointed out in other review. Add a "FIXME: " here.

> +    m_view = WKViewCreate(context, pageGroup);

My suggestion was more in the line of having this code written as:

    m_window = ewkCreateWebView(context, pageGroup, ecore_evas_get, /* smart */ 0);
    m_view = ewkGetWKView(m_window); // Note that this do not transfer ownership.
    // or having an ewkGetWKPage().

In other hands, when using EWK, we use a create function specific of EWK that will call WKViewCreate (and possibly set WKPageSetUseFixedLayout() and friends.

mm, no need to have RefPtr anymore.

on the other hand WKContextCreate.. functions use the same pattern, so can be leaved as it is I guess..

I would explain this better:

Main points being:
 - The WKView API has no dependency on EFL types
 - WebView does not store the Evas_Object

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/C/efl/WKView.h:81
> -
>  WK_EXPORT WKImageRef WKViewCreateSnapshot(WKViewRef);

We need to change this method (later) to not depend on EFL

FIXME:

maybe just ewkCreate ? or ewkViewCreate(). Are these internal/private methods? then maybe just _ewk_create() or similar

Either we should use EFL naming or WK2 naming.

_ewk_view_create()
_ewk_view_wkview_get()

I think we are converging to the right direction. :-)  Added a couple of comments on top of Kenneth comments. I think after this round we should get WK2 Owner to review again and land this.

Yes. Leave WebView::create() returning RefPtr, because WKViewCreate should return a WKViewRef.

> Tools/TestWebKitAPI/PlatformWebView.h:54
> +typedef struct _Evas_Object Evas_Object;
>  typedef WKViewRef PlatformWKView;

> +typedef Evas_Object* PlatformWindow;

I don't think you should create another typedef here. If I recall correctly, Ecore_Evas* conceptually represents the PlatformWindow, and should keep that way.

You should either (1) make the Evas_Object* (of type ewk_*) be the PlatformWKView, (2) keep it as extra member, or (3) make a way to go from WKView -> ewk_type.

Given that you need Ewk for certain operations and for deletion, and there's no shared code that relies on PlatformWKView, I say you go for (1).

Optional: I would go even further and make EwkView create the WKViewRef itself, so the EWKViewCreate() function is just a wrapper to EwkView::create() call.
