[android-developers] Re: Android WebView and HTML5
As a explanation. I have written an app which displays an WebView that loads my html page with the features-testing scripts describet here: http://diveintohtml5.org/detect.html As a workaround for the missing features i had the idea that i could write my own WebView with an nightly version of webkit. Do you think this is a good idea to do? I do not know how big a compiled version of webkit is and if android has its own optimized version of webkit. Has anyone done something similiar?

Only if you have a team of ~10 engineers and a substantial budget. I do not know how big a compiled version of webkit is and if android has its own optimized version of webkit.

I am under the impression that there is a way to determine this, as somebody mentioned a WebKit version in passing at MOTODEV Summit, but I don't remember what he said the version was nor how to figure it out.

Hi, You can see a comparison of the different WebKit implementations here: http://www.quirksmode.org/webkit.html On Oct 9, 8:00 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: And now I see (I am on a SDK1.6 Emulator) that the LocalStorage, the WebWorkers and Offline Web Applications are not supported! LocalStorage might work with the full Browser application with Google Gears enabled -- I'm a little fuzzy as to whether Gears offers official HTML5 LocalStorage support. It's a different API with the same features (practically), thus this abstraction project: http://code.google.com/p/webstorageportabilitylayer/ which I believe is what GMail for WebKit uses.
