[Help]Can you add a WebView example?

Is it possible to use Iron as backend behind the WebView?

I'm myself noob in Android, Java and Rust, but I'm also interested in this question. As far as I know, all the drawing here is done via OpenGL. So I searched whether drawing WebView is possible with OpenGL - and found this article: http://www.felixjones.co.uk/neo%20website/Android_View/ But I am not sure that this example can be ported to android-rs-glue applications. Though I would be glad to hear it from more experienced guys.

Sorry for bringing up an old issue, but I think people may still be interested in it.

The problem is not really about WebView, it's about the lack of a high-level way to call Java from Rust. Only low-level bindings exist at the moment. Whatever example you will find on the web that uses Java can't be easily translated yet.
