# Android WebView

Android WebView is an Android system component for displaying web content.
[WebView](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView) (and
the [related Android classes][1]) are implemented by the code in the
`//android_webview/` folder.

This directory contains the Android WebView implementation, as well as the
implementation for the [AndroidX Webkit support library][2].
