WebView privacy #710

Closed duggalsu closed 3 years ago

duggalsu commented 3 years ago

Opt out of sending metrics to Google when using WebView. Add the following to the manifest - 

<meta-data android:name="android.webkit.WebView.MetricsOptOut" android:value="true" />

This app has webview?? Where??

duggalsu commented 3 years ago

I saw it here https://github.com/FredJul/Flym/blob/master/app/src/main/java/net/frju/flym/ui/entrydetails/EntryDetailsView.kt

I just opened a pull request to address that. For reference: Flym uses WebView to display articles (that's what the EntryDetailsView does). That's because the articles are HTML that is parsed and somewhat adjusted by Flym.

Thanks to both of you for the proposal and the PR! I just merged it.
