What is Android System WebView?

Android System WebView is a system application that is present by default and is always active on any mobile device. Of course, you can also suspend the operation of this program, nothing apocalyptic will happen, the mobile device will continue to work normally, but some functions will become unavailable. The fact is that this system component is necessary to open links in the Chrome browser, while inside another application, without the need to launch the Internet browser itself. To make it clearer, let’s give a small but very revealing example.

So, while in the Google Play Press application, the user can view web content directly from the program interface. Otherwise, you would have to minimize the application and open the browser, enter a link to an article or other interesting material in the search bar to view them. It is worth saying that this application can be useful not only for ordinary users, but also for developers of mobile products – by including the WebView library in their program, they will add the functionality of an Internet browser to it.

It is relevant to use Android System WebView only for devices with Android 6.0 and below operating system, since in more recent versions of the Green Robot, the process of browsing web pages inside applications is organized by a slightly modified principle. In any case, doing something on your own with this system component is highly discouraged, especially if there is no clear understanding of its purpose and capabilities.
