bridge_webview_flutter 0.1.0

A Flutter plugin that provides a WebView widget on Android and iOS.

WebView for Flutter (Developers Preview)

A Flutter plugin that provides a WebView widget.

On iOS the WebView widget is backed by a WKWebView; On Android the WebView widget is backed by a WebView.

Developers Preview Status

The plugin relies on Flutter's new mechanism for embedding Android and iOS views. As that mechanism is currently in a developers preview, this plugin should also be considered a developers preview.

Known issues are tagged with the platform-views and/or webview labels.

To use this plugin on iOS you need to opt-in for the embedded views preview by adding a boolean property to the app's Info.plist file, with the key io.flutter.embedded_views_preview and the value YES.

Keyboard support - not ready for production use

Keyboard support within webviews is experimental. The Android version relies on some low-level knobs that have not been well tested on a broad spectrum of devices yet, and therefore it is not recommended to rely on webview keyboard in production apps yet. See the webview-keyboard for known issues with keyboard input.

Setup

iOS

Opt-in to the embedded views preview by adding a boolean property to the app's Info.plist file with the key io.flutter.embedded_views_preview and the value YES.

Usage

Add webview_flutter as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

You can now include a WebView widget in your widget tree. See the WebView widget's Dartdoc for more details on how to use the widget.
