MiniMindGames.com Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 In Android 5.0 (Lollipop), the WebView has moved to an APK so it can be updated seperately to the Android platform. (WebView for Android) I tested one of my games (Sudoku Tips for Android) on Samsung Galaxy. It seems that finally Android WebView is fast enough for mobile games! That's great news as now you can use your HTML5 skills on mobile apps, wrap your existing HTML5 games easily as Android apps and build mobile games with very small footprint (< 5MB).

Gio Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 There's one here: https://github.com/slymax/webview However this approach is only suitable to Android >= 5.0. Sadly there's still a good portion of Android devices (about 25%) running version 4. It might be a bit too early to ditch Cordova / Crosswalk / etc completely quiphop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMindGames.com Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 A couple of tips still... Avoid slide effects: I replaced all slide effects with simple popup transitions and it looks soo much more slick. Actually I can't see any difference between browser vs. webview on my Android Galaxy Tab A or Honor 8 anymore. Learn Sudoku on Android Learn Sudoku on Web Android 5 is not perfect:The game has got crashes on Android 5.0/5.1 due to webview. I probably need to change minSDK to Android 6.
