open source so anyone with the knowledge of Android coding can

use this browser as the base model and can enhance its

functionalities.

The browser developed loads rich graphic contents smoothly.

It also saves pages (unlike the default Android Web Browser) so

The design of the application, i.e. the Android Web Browser, is done

using the Eclipse JAVA Standard Edition IDE.

The version of Eclipse used in this project is INDIGO.

Indigo is used to write JAVA application programs using JAVA

packages.

But to write the programs for android applications, Android SDK tools

are required for which we have downloaded Android SDK from the

official site for Android Developers.

In addition to Android SDK, we also have to install Android ADT plug

ins to kick start our work.

After downloading and installing Android SDK, we have to install the

required SDK tools, the google APIs for Android versions and the android

versions itself.
