Hey! Has anyone else encountered issues with AndroidView and WebView? WebView is totally unresponsive.

AndroidView(
    viewBlock = ::WebView,
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()
) { webView ->
    with(webView) {
        settings.javaScriptEnabled = true
        webViewClient = WebViewClient()
        loadUrl("<https://google.com>")
    }
}

Please feel free to file a bug against Compose and link the bug in this thread.

Issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/177561480

Found this too: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/174233728 Are the 2 bugs perhaps related?

This looks a bit different. In my case WebView doesn’t get rerendered on user input. It doesn’t impact other composables.

I was also planning to use a Webview in an AndroidView, are there any known workarounds?

If I knew that there is this Issues I would use Fragment for the screen which needs WebView and avoid hosting WebView inside AndroidView until this issue is fixed. But that actually means that you can’t use Jetpack Compose Navigation as well.

I filed a similar bug back in Dev14: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/159838005

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/177561480 was fixed and the fix will be available in the next releases
