| Torne (Richard Coles) | 2773fff | 2015-07-28 13:42:36 +0100 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | Building the Chromium-based WebView in AOSP is no longer supported. WebView can |
| 2 | now be built entirely from the Chromium source code. |

| 4 | General instructions for building WebView from Chromium: |

| 7 | ------ |
| 8 | |
| 9 | The prebuilt libwebviewchromium.so included in these APKs is built from Chromium |
| 10 | release tag 44.0.2403.114. To match our build settings, set: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | GYP_DEFINES="OS=android release_unwind_tables=0 buildtype=Official chrome_build_id='2e7c7a0f-c733-4b9a-9c8e-d3cf0938369b'" |
| 13 | |
| 14 | in your environment before running build/gyp_chromium. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ------ |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Due to WebView API changes in the M release, the Java code in the Chromium 2403 |
| 19 | branch is not compatible with M. We'll be working on upstreaming the M-specific |
| 20 | Java changes to Chromium once the final M SDK is released. |
