Are there any ways to embed a browser in Android app?
android, browser, chromium-embedded, cordova
Solution
Android has a WebView component that is basically a browser. You can place it anywhere in your application and you can enable JavaScript that is disabled by default. Supports HTML 5. I use it in production and fully recommend.
Unfortunately the 3.x versions have a bug not supporting string query that may be present inside URLs of some pages. In the bug website this issue shows as closed and fixed. I was even not aware about it as we use 4.1.0 for everything. The bug is already fixed with that release. For earlier versions, some workarounds are available here.
Problem
I'm working on a project that needs to manage requests(html/javascript) and many more other things. I Used Chromiumembedded for windows. Now I need something like that for android. I've searched about android programming and spent some time on Phonegap. As I know it opens a webview and have some javascript API for some device features like camera. So Phonegap is not going to help me. I wonder if there is any way to embed Chrome or any other browser that can be embedded in an android app?
