## What it is
A collection of Java sample apps demonstrating how to use the Chromium-based Android WebView, covering WebRTC, text autosizing, touch events, JavaScript interfaces, and fullscreen video. It is an archived Google repository last updated in 2017.

## Use cases
- learn how to enable WebRTC in an Android WebView
- handle touchcancel events in a WebView app
- add a JavaScript interface to Android WebView
- implement fullscreen video playback in WebView
- use TEXT_AUTOSIZING layout algorithm in WebView
- save and restore WebView state in an Android app

## When to choose
- you are building an Android app that embeds web content in a WebView and want working example code
- you need to integrate WebRTC, JS bridges, or fullscreen video with the Chromium WebView

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date samples for modern Android WebView APIs, as the repo is archived and unmaintained since 2017
- you are targeting platforms other than Android

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools
- domain: android-tools, web-development, mobile-development, tutorials
- platform: jvm
- tags: webview, sample-code, webrtc, android-webview, google-archive, android
