The latest addition to the ever growing apps-for-android project is WebViewDemo, a small application that aims to demonstarate how developers can incorporate web content into their applications.
A WebView uses the same rendering and JavaScript engine as the browser, but it runs under the control of your application. The WebView can be full screen or you can mix it with other Views. The content for your WebView can come from anywhere. The WebView can download content from the web, or it can come from local files stored in your assets directory. The content can even be dynamically generated by your application code.
More detailed information and code examples can be found over on the Android Developer Blog.
The apps-for-android project is a growing collection of sample applications that aim to demonstrate the capabilities and features of the Android platform.
