Google's prebuilt WebView ========================= What's this, dawg? ------------------ This repository replaces android_framework_webview to use Google's prebuilt WebView. You can update the included webview binaries yourself by using chromium/prebuilt/ARCH/extract.sh. Current version included in this repository is noted at chromium/prebuilt/ARCH/VERSION. You must set those on build/target/product/core_minimal.mk to use this repository: ``` PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \ libwebviewchromium_plat_support \ libwebviewchromium_loader ``` You also must set config_webViewPackageName to com.google.android.webview on frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml. Pros ---- ``` - Reduces full ROM build time about 40~50%. - Forces users to have the latest WebView library(much higher than AOSP version). - Users with Google Play loged-in, will automatically receive WebView updates provided directly by Google. - Uses CTS passed Google's WebView library(no funny, funky bugs). ``` Cons ---- ``` - We're now forced to use Google's prebuilt library, no local changes allowed. (But realistically who mods libwebviewchromium?) ```
