Hi

I am making an app that can show comments that people have submitted - I'd like to be able to allow the the user to click on a link in the comments and either open the browser or a webview to that link. 

Is this possible? I've tried searching but I'm not sure on the wording of my request.

Implement the onTouch event for Label and pass the url to webview in event.isUp() method

onTouch: {
if (event.isUp()) {

webview_id.url = url

webvbiew.visible = true
}
if (event.isDown() || event.isMove()) {
//display focus
} else {
//undisplay focus
}
}

I haven't tried it but if you are using a control that can use a TextStyleDefintion then you can format the text as HTML and since it has the <a> attribute I would surmise it would open a browser, info here...

If you use a TextArea (and if you want it to look like a Label, turn editable to false) hyperlinks will be "clickable" and open in the native browser.

Most easy way is following:

Label {
text: qsTr("Plese don't hesitate to provide feedback at http://blackberry.hubalek.net")
multiline: true
content.flags: TextContentFlag.ActiveText
}

content.flags: TextContentFlag.ActiveText does the trick.
