DBX126804yMaybe because that is what modern "apps" are, embedded browsers showing a website?
(I don't condone that trend though) -
DBX126804yWell you could push the received bluetooth data to a webserver, render some html there and show it in a webview, right?
(/s) -
@DBX12 nope no server involved. It's a Nordic Ble. The customer want an android app that read their hardware data real time. Which I can do it easily in Java.

DBX126804yI know, I was kidding with my previous reply and tried to shoehammer the webview into it. ;)
Working with bluetooth should be easy with native Java code on Android. And the UI looks better in native android components IMHO. But that is not what marketing and design wants to hear. -
It has to be HTML and CSS because marketing really needs that user interface to be as ugly as humanly possible. Native widgets are just too limited in the amount of uglyness you can get them to present.
Why this company's Marketing team their every solution to a software idea is "WEBVIEW"?
