# Android WebView Android WebView is an Android system component for displaying web content. [WebView](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView) (and the [related Android classes][1]) are implemented by the code in the `//android_webview/` folder. This directory contains the Android WebView implementation, as well as the implementation for the [AndroidX Webkit support library][2]. ## Overview for Chromium team members and contributors Please see [WebView Architecture](/android_webview/docs/architecture.md). ## Want to use WebView in an Android app? Please consult our API documentation and app development guides: * [Android Frameworks classes][1] * [AndroidX Webkit support library][2] * [Development guides](https://developer.android.com/guide/webapps) ## Want to build and install WebView on a device?
