Embedded Chromium or Webkit in Android app

ChormeView works like Android's WebView, but is backed by the latest Chromium code.


You should all check out the Crosswalk project. Sponsored by Intel, and in active development. They pull the Chromium sources and promise to make all new Chromium features available in Crosswalk within 6 weeks.

Crosswalk is a web runtime for ambitious HTML5 applications. It provides all the features of a modern browser, combined with deep device integration and an API for adding native extensions. It is especially suited to mobile devices.

Crosswalk supports Android 4.0 and newer, on ARM and Intel architectures.

Within in one hour of finding this project, I had my Cordova/Phonegap app running on an Android phone with Crosswalk. I'm glad I don't have to adjust my Javascript code to respect the shortcomings of the (pre-4.4) android.webkit.WebView.

Without WebKit there is a GeckoView. Sure it adds over 20Mb of libs to the project.
