A simple web page inside kivy app as a widget

Question

I want to have a web view in my kivy application that is running on ubuntu 64bit. I looked on the web, went through kivy's documentation and searched for answers on StackOverflow but I couldn't find anything that can do my job. A simple web page needs to be rendered inside kivy app as widget. Please help me out.

Solution

There isn't native support for this. Try checking out this and this.

Yes, this is the only solution I could find but it is so badly maintained. There are no proper docs and I am facing so many issues that I just cannot find a solution to!

@user2507 Have you looked into tkinter modules? You can run tkinter from within kivy (I'm using a tkinter file dialog in one of my apps). I don't think it's encouraged or the best practice but I couldn't find a native-like dialog solution in kivy; you may find a solution like that.

tkinter itself does not support webview.

Try wxPython wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.html2.WebView.html

In kivy-garden I am facing this exact same issue: github.com/kivy-garden/garden.cefpython/issues/5 ; But I am not able to find those binaries they are talking about. Can you help me with that?
