Access WebView in an Android Studio Project

In this project you will work on an Android Studio project that creates an Android App which uses a WebView widget to display web content. The app will have two activities , one main launcher activity, and one activity for accessing web content using WebView. In your app you will adjust your Manifest to give your app permissions to connect to the internet, create a WebView, enable safe browsing, enable JavaScript within your WebView, and instruct your app on what URL you want to load inside your WebView. learn how to use WebView to access web content within an Android app, how to adjust you android manifest permissions to allow internet access, and how to adjust your app settings to enable/disable safe browsing and JavaScript, and you will display web content inside your app. When you have completed the updating of your code you will upload the APK of your app to Appetize.io and test it. Reading from and writing from different types of files is essential function of nearly all apps and knowing how to do this is extremely valuable knowledge.
