implementation of navigation policy

Implemented navigationPolicyForUrl. This is similar to DesktopWebView implementation. It provides the flexibiltiy to specify custom navigation policies for TouchWebView.

Regarding testcase. Looks like qmltests are disabled for qt5. I also need some suggestion on handling mouseClick's.
Thanks,

I am a bit confused why we have to define a new set of enums here and do conversions to the enums defined in the base class.

[Gopal Raghavan]

The PolicyAction enums defined in PolicyInterface.h is not available to qml. The current implementation enables the following in qml:

TouchWebView {
     id: webView
     ......
     .....
    function navigationPolicyForUrl(url, button, modifiers) {
        // link delegation
        if (button == Qt.LeftButton && pageLoaded) {
            return webView.TouchWebView.IgnorePolicy
        }
        return webView.TouchWebView.UsePolicy
    }
}

Why do you need QTouchWebViewPrivate class here?
Why PolicyInterface is not good?
Also, I would change order of constructor parameters to make it the same as in QtWebPageProxy.

Good point. Fixed the interface.
Thanks

I am still not convinced that we have to manipulate the lower level C++ code which throws away the class inheritance just to satisfy a drawback in the higher level qml binding. What prevents PolicyInterface.h being available to qml?

Ideally, if QTouchWebView could be derived out of PolicyInterface we should be all set. Although, PolicyInterface looks like an api it is not publicly available within UIProcess/API/qt. Therefore QTouchWebViewPrivate inherits it and not QTouchWebView. Because of this restriction, we need the translation of enums using toPolicyAction.

Hope this clarifies the situation.
Thanks

Thanks. It's pretty clear now the problem is not qml itself but the hidden PolicyInterface. I think we should make it public. Any objections, Kenneth and Kling?

Would this possibly break the buildbot? If not, we can simply remove the condition. Or it should be the other way around? I will add Ossy for commenting this.

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

I will update Qt5 on the bot tomorrow evening. Please wait a little bit with landing.

That change to tests.pro is unintentional. I didn't mean to include it in this patch. 
Here is an updated patch.

[Chang Shu]

We probably should hold off the implementation until the proposed API change is made.

Why not include this change (a modified version) otherwise the qmltests are not built nor run at all?

[Gopal Raghavan]

qmltests is a separate issue. Also, since this patch doesn't seem to be moving forward, I have attached a separate patch to enable qmltests here https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70037

Sounds good. While I was compiling the qmltests code, I had to "make install" webkit first. I am not sure if this will be an issue on the bot. Anyway, we can ask Ossy's help to review the patch.

We want to do this in a different way

> Source/WebKit2/ChangeLog:8
> +        Implemented navigationPolicyForUrl. This is similar to DesktopWebView implementation. It provides the flexibiltiy to specify custom navigation policies for TouchWebView.

Please break that line

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/qt/tests/qmltests/TouchWebView/tst_navigationPolicyForUrl.qml:16
> +        function navigationPolicyForUrl(url, button, modifiers) {
> +            if (button == Qt.MiddleButton && modifiers & Qt.ControlModifier) {
> +                otherWebView.page.load(url)
> +                return TouchWebView.IgnorePolicy
> +            }
> +            return TouchWebView.UsePolicy
> +        }

We decided to do this differently. Simon had some better ideas. Please check the ML

I checked, it builds fine on the bot.

[Jesus Sanchez-Palencia]

Should we close this now that all we have is a single QQuickWebView?! :)
