We talk about WebView's ability to update outside of platform releases, the transition from the original WebView to the new Chromium WebView widget, about some of the new features and APIs in recent releases, and about cute kitten bitmaps.<br /> <br /> Tor didn't have much to say, about kittens or anything else.<br /> <br /> Subscribe to the <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/AndroidDevelopersBackstage" target="_blank">podcast feed</a> or download the <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/androiddevelopers/android_developers_backstage/ADB%2037%20Webview.mp3" target="_blank">audio file</a> directly.<br /> <br /> <b>Relevant Links</b><br /> <br /> <a href="http://blog.chromium.org/2015/02/beta-channel-for-android-webview.html" target="_blank">Beta Channel for Android WebView</a><br /> <a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/105434725573080290360" target="_blank">Google+ Beta Channel Community</a><br /> <a href="https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/entry?template=Webview%20Bugs" target="_blank">Bug Tracker</a><br /> <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/devtools" target="_blank">Chrome Dev Tools</a><br /> <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html" target="_blank">WebView API</a><br /> <br /> <br /> Ben Murdoch: <a href="http://google.com/+BenMurdoch">google.com/+BenMurdoch</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/@ksasq" target="_blank">@ksasq</a><br /> Richard Coles: <a href="http://google.com/+RichardColesGoogle">google.com/+RichardColesGoogle</a><br /> <b>Tor</b>: <a href="http://google.com/+TorNorbye">google.com/+TorNorbye</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/tornorbye" target="_blank">@tornorbye</a><br /> <b>Chet</b>: <a href="http://google.com/+ChetHaase">google.com/+ChetHaase</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/chethaase" target="_blank">@chethaase</a><br /> <br /> Also, thanks to continued support by Bryan Gordon, our audio engineer who puts this stuff together every time.</div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/AndroidDevelopersBackstage/~4/dKhTZpYztfM" width="1" />
