Abstract
Other GUI toolkits let you use HTML for presenting information, from limited HTML renderers (e.g., Java/Swing, wxWidgets) to embedding Internet Explorer into .NET applications. Android is much the same, in that you can embed the built-in Web browser as a widget in your own activities, for displaying HTML or full-fledged browsing. The Android browser is based on WebKit, the same engine that powers Appleās Safari Web browser.
