Flutter/Dart GDE - Android Developer
What is a WebView?
Why we need WebViews? Use cases Perform social login Show
static content (e.g. FAQ) Payment confirmation Avoid for Making an app that is just a web
https://pub.dev/packages/webview_flutter
Setup # pubspec.yaml dependencies: flutter: sdk: flutter webview_flutter: ^0.3.9+1
Implementation • Not reimplemented in Dart! • Uses native WebView
iOS: WKWebView Android: android.webkit.WebView • But is it a Widget? The plugin creates the native WebView And renders it in Flutter!
Working Example
Rendering the Android WebView
Flutter Inspector

Rendering the iOS WKWebView
WebView Rendering on iOS • Similar to Android • RenderUiKitView
will render a surface created in the PlatformViewIOS • Passes an ID
