I am trying to build a comprehensive list of known non-AOSP open source web browsers for the Android, from which fellow programmers and I can learn-by-example.
By non-AOSP I mean that it can be built outside of the full firmware build.
The stock Android browser is probably the best exemplary browser but unfortunately it cannot be built outside of the full firmware build.
The ability to build such apps in a regular Android SDK development environment is important for those who learn best by experimenting with code modifications.
Google search for open source browsers for android yields disappointing results, so perhaps we can come up with a more focused result. Links to actual source code repository would be super.
So far, I managed to find the following:
- Fennec (aka Mobile Firefox) —
source code here. - Memento-browser – — source
code here.
This is experimental but I’ve learned and took some ideas from it:
