Like the title says, I am thinking about developing my own browser for Android devices.

The existing app is available in two versions: as a traditional desktop application and as a browser-based "Lite" version. We're building out the features of the "Lite" version to make it a full implementation of the flagship software, but th...

I don't need to use apache as there is little server side things for the moment. Do you know any good tool? ...
