unity-webview

unity-webview is a plugin for Unity 5 that overlays WebView components on Unity view. It works on Android, iOS, Unity Web Player, and OS X (Windows is not supported for now).

unity-webview is derived from keijiro-san's https://github.com/keijiro/unity-webview-integration .

Sample Project

It is placed under sample/. You can open it and import the plugin as below:

1. Open sample/Assets/Sample.unity.
2. Open dist/unity-webview.unitypackage and import all files. It might be easier to extract dist/unity-webview.zip instead if you've imported unity-webview before.

Platform Specific Notes

OS X (Editor)

App Transport Security

Since Unity 5.3.0, Unity.app is built with ATS (App Transport Security) enabled and non-secured connection (HTTP) is not permitted. If you want to open http://foo/bar.html with this plugin on Unity OS X Editor, you need to open /Applications/Unity5.3.4p3/Unity.app/Contents/Info.plist with a text editor and add the following,

--- Info.plist~	2016-04-11 18:29:25.000000000 +0900
+++ Info.plist	2016-04-15 16:17:28.000000000 +0900

WebViewSeparated.bundle

WebViewSeparated.bundle is a variation of WebView.bundle. It is based on gree#161 . As noted in the pull-request, it shows a separate window and allows a developer to utilize the Safari debugger. For enabling it, please define WEBVIEW_SEPARATED.

iOS

The implementation now supports WKWebView but it is disabled by default. For enabling it, please set enableWKWebView as below:

		webViewObject.Init(
            ...
            enableWKWebView: true);

Android

NOTE: the following steps are now performed by Assets/Plugins/Android/Editor/UnityWebViewPostprocessBuild.cs.

Once you built an apk, please copy sample/Temp/StatingArea/AndroidManifest-main.xml to sample/Assets/Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml, edit the latter to add android:hardwareAccelerated="true" to <activity android:name="com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity" ..., and rebuilt the apk. Although some old/buggy devices may not work well with android:hardwareAccelerated="true", the WebView runs very smoothly with this setting.

For Unity 5.6 or newer, you also need to modify android:name from com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity to net.gree.unitywebview.CUnityPlayerActivity. This custom activity implementation will adjust Unity's SurfaceView z order. Please refer plugins/Android/src/net/gree/unitywebview/CUnityPlayerActivity.java and plugins/Android/src/net/gree/unitywebview/CUnityPlayer.java if you already have your own acitivity implementation.

Web Player

The implementation utilizes IFRAME so please put both "an_unityplayer_page.html" and "a_page_loaded_in_webview.html" should be placed on the same domain for avoiding cross-domain requests.
