webview_flutter 2.0.10

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

WebView for Flutter

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.

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.

Android Platform Views

The WebView is relying on Platform Views to embed the Android’s webview within the Flutter app. By default a Virtual Display based platform view backend is used, this implementation has multiple keyboard issues. When keyboard input is required we recommend using the Hybrid Composition based platform views implementation. Note that on Android versions prior to Android 10 Hybrid Composition has some performance drawbacks.

Using Hybrid Composition

1. Set the minSdkVersion in android/app/build.gradle:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 19
    }
}

This means that app will only be available for users that run Android SDK 19 or higher.

2. To enable hybrid composition, set WebView.platform = SurfaceAndroidWebView(); in initState(). For example:

import 'dart:io';

import 'package:webview_flutter/webview_flutter.dart';

class WebViewExample extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  WebViewExampleState createState() => WebViewExampleState();
}

class WebViewExampleState extends State<WebViewExample> {
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    // Enable hybrid composition.
    if (Platform.isAndroid) WebView.platform = SurfaceAndroidWebView();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return WebView(
      initialUrl: 'https://flutter.dev',
    );
  }
}

Enable Material Components for Android

To use Material Components when the user interacts with input elements in the WebView, follow the steps described in the Enabling Material Components instructions.
