A very simple full-screen WebView activity for Android native wrappers, as a starting point.

MainActivity.java

package com.willowtreeapps.demo;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    private WebView mWebView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        mWebView = new WebView(this);
        mWebView.loadUrl("http://m.willowtreeapps.com/");
        mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                view.loadUrl(url);
                return true;
            }
        });

        this.setContentView(mWebView);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onKeyDown(final int keyCode, final KeyEvent event) {
        if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) {
            mWebView.goBack();
            return true;
        }
        return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    }
}

Is this similar to using Chrome in terms of performance? I followed another tutorial and it works, but it's extremely slow compared to using Chrome directly.

This was really helpful, thanks! I'd definitely enable Javascript in the main Gist, though:

WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

Many users, including web or application developers, are confronting the err_cache_miss consistently in Google Chrome browser.
