WebsiteAsApp

Turn your websites into a native android app within a few minutes, with splash screen support and even more!

Overview

The WebsiteAsApp Android Template allows you to quickly convert a website into a native Android application. Users only need to edit a simple configuration file to specify the website URL, written in simple java. The application features a splash screen with loading ability at startup. Feel free to directly implement or modify even further!
