Android "universal" webview

Question

I'm developing an hybrid app for android, but android webview rendering varies a lot depending on os version. So android 2.3 webview renders and behaves differently from android 4.0 webview which renders and behaves differently from android 4.4 webview...all this fragmentation is a real mess and makes it a problem to develop an html based app. I'm not talking about different screen sizes or densities, i'm talking about specific webview bugs or rendering engines.

Does exists an "universal" webview component (opensource or commercial) that i can embed in my app so that i don't have to write specific webview css hacks just to get the same rendering and behaviour on any android > 2.3 version?

I know there are some experimental projects such as https://github.com/davisford/android-chromium but couldn't find any production-ready project.

Answer 1

This is what you are looking for I think.

ChromeView "This gives your application early access to the newest features in Chromium, and removes the variability due to different WebView implementations in different versions of Android."
