Suggestion: Implement Google WebView #436

Open besendorf opened 6 years ago

besendorf commented 6 years ago

Some apps require "Android System Webview" (com.google.android.webview). Its basicly Chrome used to display html inside of apps. Consider implementing a similar app using Chromium or other browser and Signature Spoofing to do the same.

There is already AOSP WebView.

besendorf commented 6 years ago

Ok, I didnt know. Thanks for pointing that out. AOSP Webview isnt on f-droid/Play-Store though. I guess this can be closed now

I'm not sure where can be downloaded but it is included also in LineageOS.

Maybe ask to the developer of the ROM you use to include it.

Tested on Sony Nougat rom and installed webview (from apkmirror), it does not work. The option to select webview provider is there in developer options, but only shows chrome. I even tried an old xposed module (webview google) which also didn't help. I concur with besendorf; there should be a solution through MicroG to replace chrome with chromium or aosp webview through a spoof or something.

sorry to intrude, but you're already able to switch among webviews. I don't think it's a good place to have some of it in MicroG/Core as totally unrelated project. It's also a good idea keep Core separate from higher level services like per-app sync or WebView. Just my IMHO
