Availability
8.0.0

# Overview

Use the Titanium.UI.iOS.createWebViewConfiguration method to create and use as a parameter of Titanium.UI.WebView.configuration. Using this you can determine how soon a webpage is rendered, how media playback is handled, the granularity of items that the user can select, and many other options. This property can only be set when creating the webview and will be ignored when set afterwards.

See the example section "Usage of WebViewConfiguration with WebView in iOS". Information on additional available preferences can be derived from the original WebKit sources: WKPreferences.mm (opens new window)

The value of this property is the fully qualified name of the API. For example, Titanium.UI.Button returns Ti.UI.Button.


# bubbleParent

Availability
8.0.0

bubbleParent :Boolean

Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.

Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.

Default: true

Multiple listeners can be registered for the same event, so the callback parameter is used to determine which listener to remove.

When adding a listener, you must save a reference to the callback function in order to remove the listener later:

var listener = function() { Ti.API.info("Event listener called."); }
window.addEventListener('click', listener);

To remove the listener, pass in a reference to the callback function:

window.removeEventListener('click', listener);

Name of the event.

callback Callback<Titanium.Event>

Callback function to remove. Must be the same function passed to addEventListener.
