Android WebView Example

WebView is a View that displays web pages. Using his class we can display some online content within our Activity.

If you want to deliver a web application (or just a web page) as a part of a client application, you can do it using WebView. The WebView class is an extension of Android's View class that allows you to display web pages as a part of your activity layout.

In this Example you will see how to use WebView in your activity.

Do not forget to add the Internet permission in your manifest file.
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:id="@+id/webView1"
