Description

Problem description

When calling evalJS on a webview in BB10, the javascript is invoked, but there is no return value.

Code sample

Just use this code:

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
    backgroundColor:'white'
});
 
var webview = Ti.UI.createWebView({
    url : 'http://www.example.com'
});
 
 
webview.addEventListener('load', function() {
    alert(webview.evalJS('window.location.href'));
});
 
win.add(webview);
win.open();

Note

evalJS works. Replace the alert with this to verify:

webview.evalJS('alert(window.location.href)');

The API will be the following. BB's evalJS implementation is async

   webview.evalJS('window.location.href', function(){
   	alert(e.result);
   });
