| ## Building the library (for local development) |
| |
| If you're trying to modify the androidx.webkit library, or apply local changes |
| to the library, you can do so like so: |
| |
| ```sh |
| cd frameworks/support/ |
| # Build the library/compile changes |
| ./gradlew :webkit:assembleDebug |
| # Run integration tests with the WebView installed on the device |
| ./gradlew :webkit:connectedAndroidTest |
| # Update API files (only necessary if you changed public APIs) |
| ./gradlew :webkit:updateApi |
| ``` |
| |

| ## API demo code |
| |
| We also maintain a demo app ([demo |
| code](/webkit/integration-tests/testapp/src/main/java/com/example/androidx/webkit), |
| [developer guide](/webkit/integration-tests/testapp/README.md)) to demonstrate |
| how to properly use the latest androidx.webkit APIs in your Android app. |
