Clear

NOTICE: This ANE is deprecated. We have developed a new RichWebView II ANE from scratch which uses native APIs in a more robust way. Consider using the new ANE instead of this one.

 

We will keep on maintaining this ANE till mid-2019 but you are recommended to switch to the new ANE as soon as you can.

 

Rich Webview ANE (Android+iOS)

Rich Webview is a great replacement for the classic StageWebview. Previewing HTML content in mobile apps is a popular feature. Weather you need to show your game structure to users or maybe you want to let your users privately visit a webpage from inside your app. There are many reasons you will need this feature and that’s been the reason why Adobe has included the classic StageWebView in Air SDK. Considering that Native WebView libraries on Android and iOS are constantly upgrading with new features, they need dedicated teams of Java and Obj-C programmers to keep up with these changes.
