1 Building the Chromium-based WebView in AOSP is no longer supported. WebView can 2 now be built entirely from the Chromium source code. 3 4 General instructions for building WebView from Chromium: 5 https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-android-webview 6 7 ------ 8 9 The prebuilt libwebviewchromium.so included in these APKs is built from Chromium 10 release tag 51.0.2704.91, using the GN build tool (not the older GYP tool). To match our build settings, set: 11 12 target_os="android" 13 is_debug=false 14 is_official_build=true 15 is_chrome_branded=false 16 use_official_google_api_keys=false 17 exclude_unwind_tables=true 18 enable_resource_whitelist_generation=true 19 ffmpeg_branding="Chrome" 20 proprietary_codecs=true 21 enable_remoting=true 22 android_chrome_build_id="c212fd71-e1d3-4b49-9f08-878f16747dd9" 23 24 in your GN argument file before building. 25 26 ------ 27 28 Due to WebView API changes in the N release, the Java code in the Chromium 2704_81 29 branch is not compatible with N. We'll be working on upstreaming the N-specific 30 Java changes to Chromium once the final N SDK is released. 31 32 ------ 33 34 For questions about building WebView, please see 35 https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!forum/android-webview-dev 36
