Public methods

getDisabledActionModeMenuItems

open static fun getDisabledActionModeMenuItems(@NonNull settings: WebSettings): Int

Gets the action mode menu items that are disabled, expressed in an integer field flag. The default value is WebSettings#MENU_ITEM_NONE

getOffscreenPreRaster

open static fun getOffscreenPreRaster(@NonNull settings: WebSettings): Boolean

setDisabledActionModeMenuItems

open static fun setDisabledActionModeMenuItems(@NonNull settings: WebSettings, menuItems: Int): Unit

setOffscreenPreRaster

open static fun setOffscreenPreRaster(@NonNull settings: WebSettings, enabled: Boolean): Unit

Sets whether this WebView should raster tiles when it is offscreen but attached to a window. Turning this on can avoid rendering artifacts when animating an offscreen WebView on-screen. Offscreen WebViews in this mode use more memory. The default value is false.
Please follow these guidelines to limit memory usage:

  • WebView size should be not be larger than the device screen size.
  • Limit use of this mode to a small number of WebViews. Use it for visible WebViews and WebViews about to be animated to visible.

This method should only be called if WebViewFeature#isFeatureSupported(String) returns true for WebViewFeature#OFF_SCREEN_PRERASTER.

setSafeBrowsingEnabled

open static fun setSafeBrowsingEnabled(@NonNull settings: WebSettings, enabled: Boolean): Unit

Sets whether Safe Browsing is enabled. Safe Browsing allows WebView to protect against malware and phishing attacks by verifying the links.

Safe Browsing can be disabled for all WebViews using a manifest tag (read general Safe Browsing info). The manifest tag has a lower precedence than this API.

Safe Browsing is enabled by default for devices which support it.

This method should only be called if WebViewFeature#isFeatureSupported(String) returns true for WebViewFeature#SAFE_BROWSING_ENABLE.

Parameters
enabled WebSettings: Whether Safe Browsing is enabled.
