jquery - Is there a better webview for Android -


is there better webview android? google's own documents mention not rely on webview object.

but using webkit seems strange limited, compared other webkit browsers used on mobile devices comparable hardware.

this evident in jquery mobile implementations, or sencha touch implementations web apps. android version suffers slowdowns, rendering issues, , poor user experience, other mobile devices - iphone - run fine. both use webkit. , outside of app, actual android browser runs fine.

is there way address android's problem, on lower level? has made more comprehensive web object android?

thanks insight

i afraid both answers (commonsware , fuzzical logic) avoiding reality.

the reality our two-years experience of developing html5 web app , later phonegap app (hybrid using web view) ios, android , windows phone is:

works great on ios (both safari , in webview), works reasonable in chrome on android, ie on windows 8 , ie webview (all had issues, can solved) remains a nightmare in android webview.

the webview in android broken , still broken after update kitkat chromium replacing it. crashes on normal html5 (not getting javascript problems). find a lot of people in net observing similar things.

things "flash support" have nothing - flash not html5. whether or not manufacturer wants support plugin (or, in case, whole middleware) him. understood apple's decision, , in webview make less sense.

so, problem android/google problem, as supporters of platform want deny it. particularly embarrassing of course company cried "open" , not able deliver working html5 browser component after many years.

but question was, if there other webview else:

well, love hear one. sorry did not find 1 now, , reason mentioned in above posts: difficult implement , hardware dependent (hardware acceleration etc.). however, since chrome works @ least reasonable (after many years...) wonder whether lack of similar quality in chromium webview intentional google, trying keep people away making great web apps or hybrid apps. (quite opposite of microsoft doing.)
