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