What is Android WebView?

Android WebView is an Android system component for display web content. This (and the related Android classes) are implemented by the code in the //android_webview/ folder.

Android WebView is a content embedder, meaning it depends on code in //content/ and lower layers (ex. //net/, //base/), but does not depend on sibling layers such as //chrome/.

Want to use WebView in an Android app?

Please consult https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView, and the related classes in the android.webkit package. You may also be interested in out androidx.webkit API documentation.
