Development Programming & Scripting UI

I added a WebBrowser on a UMG widget, and launched on my android device,

I’m trying to “Get Title Text”. but it always returns nothing.
I’m asking for it on Event Tick just in case.
Should this not work? The rest of the page is loading just fine, and I do get the title on pc.

Any comments about how it should work or how to make it work are greatly appreciated.

It’s not implemented it seems:

Best practice here would to prepare code for return of empty string (remove any marking for title and if you got some add to favorites or something make some default string), you would need to do so either way as website is not guarranty to have a title. By doing so you code will be ready when android will have this implementation, as well as it will work with other platfroms.

Oh, I see. I was actually planning to use it on a url of my own.

On windows I can pass data from the html’s title to my game. I’m using this as is not exposed to BP and I would rather not add plugins to my game right now.

Quite a shame indeed.

Thanks =)
