Android html5 game webview slow

Question

I'm trying to insert an html5 game into a webview of an Android 4.2 app but the performances are weak. I've tried with "hardware acceleration" and to set the webview settings in many ways. I heard about the Chromium library but I don't know where to find and how to implement it. Pleae help me.

Answer 1

You can try the Crosswalk: https://github.com/crosswalk-project/crosswalk

it's a HTML5 runtime framework base on Chromium, it takes advantage of Chromium and has much better HTML5 performance (WebGL/Canvas/CSS3) than native WebView.

Answer 2

If it is a html5 canvas game, try addig this to your canvas element in css (boosted performance in my game):

transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);

This has been the only speedhack that really had a effect on my webview. But be careful not to overuse it! (you can read more about the hack in this article.)

And as Shouqon mentioned, check out crosswalk.
