Yes you need to use webview to display any content from the internet. Which language did you choose? Java or kotlin? You can just search on Google for (Java or Kotlin) setup code for webview. This is Google's own documentation for webview- https://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview

Incase if you're trying to release your app, playstore policy won't allow it. Apps only loaded with webview are not allowed. so it's ok if this is your personal project.

Ok, Um... I don't think that you can do that. Webview is just for showing the content of the website. I don't think you can change the properties of the viewed webpage.

May I know if this website is yours, that is do you have the code for it and do you own the domain name?

Hey. I'm using Java. I had gone through the documentation earlier and it didn't seem to have what I want. The question is whether I can control the look of the website that I call inside the webview. That is,is there a way I can change the background color to match the color of my app so that the website feels it's part of my app
