    An Android WebView app allows you to embed web content directly inside your mobile application, acting like a mini browser without leaving the app. This is useful for displaying websites, online documents, or dynamic content without building a full native UI.

    Adding WebView in Layout

    • Add Internet Permission in AndroidManifest.xml:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    Copied!

    • Add WebView to XML Layout:

    <WebView
    android:id="@+id/webview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />
    Copied!

    Loading a Web Page

    In your MainActivity:

    import android.os.Bundle
    import android.webkit.WebView
    import android.webkit.WebViewClient
    import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

    class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

    val webView: WebView = findViewById(R.id.webview)
    webView.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true // Enable JavaScript if needed
    webView.webViewClient = WebViewClient() // Open links inside WebView
    webView.loadUrl("https://www.example.com") // Replace with your URL
    }

    override fun onBackPressed() {
    val webView: WebView = findViewById(R.id.webview)
    if (webView.canGoBack()) {
    webView.goBack()
    } else {
    super.onBackPressed()
    }
    }
    }
    Copied!
