Configuration
All core behaviors and feature toggles in Smart WebView are controlled from a single configuration file: app/src/main/assets/swv.properties
. This allows you to customize your app without touching any Java or Gradle code.
How to Configure
- Open your project in Android Studio.
- Navigate to the
app/src/main/assets/
directory. - Open the
swv.properties
file and modify the values as needed. - Rebuild your project (
Build > Rebuild Project
) for the changes to take effect.
