Webview or Chrome custom tabs?
During my app development on the Android platform, I always used the WebView component. I notice it is a slow component, but it does what it must do. Today I found some useful link about another widget to include web content in my Android app: the Chrome custom tab. I’ve already heard about it, but I did not find any good documentation.. until today :).
- https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/customtabs
- https://github.com/GoogleChrome/custom-tabs-client
- https://blog.mindorks.com/android-browser-lets-launch-chrome-custom-tabs-with-kotlin
The third link is the most interesting since it explores the Chrome Custom Tabs usage with the Androidx libraries.
In the next days, I will explore the Custom Tab capabilities.
