    <p><span class="caps">WPE</span> WebKit supports running on <a href="https://www.android.com">Android</a>, which is
considerably different from other Linux-based&nbsp;systems.</p>
<h2 id="building">Building<a class="md-anchor" href="#building" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>Compiling <span class="caps">WPE</span> WebKit for Android requires a suitable toolchain configured
to use a “sysroot” which includes the needed dependencies—including
their development&nbsp;files.</p>
<p>Currently, the preferred method to build <span class="caps">WPE</span> WebKit for Android is using
<a href="https://github.com/Igalia/wpe-android-cerbero/">wpe-android-cerbero</a>. This is
a fork of the <a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero/">Cerbero</a>
build system used to cross-compile the GStreamer multimedia libraries for a
number of targets—Android included—, with the needed changes to compile <span class="caps">WPE</span>
WebKit. Note that this produces the <em>native</em> libraries that are part of a
WebKit build, and their <em>native</em>&nbsp;dependencies.</p>
<h2 id="view-widget">View Widget<a class="md-anchor" href="#view-widget" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>A web view widget that integrates with the Android
<a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View">View</a>-based <span class="caps">GUI</span>
toolkit and may be used as part of an application written in Java™ or Kotlin
is provided by the separate
<a href="https://github.com/Igalia/wpe-android"><span class="caps">WPE</span> Android</a>&nbsp;project.</p>
<p>Prebuilt packages produced by the <span class="caps">WPE</span> Android project are readily available
as
<a href="https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.wpewebkit.wpeview/wpeview">org.wpewebkit.wpeview</a>
at the <a href="https://central.sonatype.com/">Maven Central</a> repository. Using these
package is the recommended way of using <span class="caps">WPE</span> WebKit to develop Android
applications that embed <span class="caps">WPE</span> WebKit web&nbsp;views.</p>
<h2 id="logging">Logging<a class="md-anchor" href="#logging" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p><span class="caps">WPE</span> WebKit integrates with the Android <code>logd</code> system service, and uses
the <code>WPEWebKit</code> tag. This means that logging is configured using system
properties, and <code>logcat</code> may be used to read log&nbsp;entries:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code>adb<span class="w"> </span>shell<span class="w"> </span>setprop<span class="w"> </span>log.tag.WPEWebKit<span class="w"> </span>VERBOSE
adb<span class="w"> </span>logcat<span class="w"> </span>-s<span class="w"> </span>WPEWebKit
</code></pre></div>

<p>The <code>WEBKIT_DEBUG</code> <a href="environment.html">environment variable</a> is replaced by the
<code>debug.log.WPEWebKit</code> system property to configure logging&nbsp;channels:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code>adb<span class="w"> </span>shell<span class="w"> </span>setprop<span class="w"> </span>debug.log.WPEWebKit<span class="w"> </span><span class="s1">&#39;Process,Media=error&#39;</span>
</code></pre></div>

<p>Using the <code>persist.</code> prefix may be added to system properties to store
settings across device&nbsp;reboots.</p>
