| 16 | ## Building the library (for local development) |
| 17 | |
| 18 | If you're trying to modify the androidx.webkit library, or apply local changes |
| 19 | to the library, you can do so like so: |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ```sh |
| 22 | cd frameworks/support/ |
| 23 | # Build the library/compile changes |
| 24 | ./gradlew :webkit:assembleDebug |
| 25 | # Run integration tests with the WebView installed on the device |
| 26 | ./gradlew :webkit:connectedAndroidTest |
| 27 | # Update API files (only necessary if you changed public APIs) |
| 28 | ./gradlew :webkit:updateApi |
| 29 | ``` |

| 36 | We also maintain a demo app ([demo |
| 37 | code](/webkit/integration-tests/testapp/src/main/java/com/example/androidx/webkit), |
| 38 | [developer guide](/webkit/integration-tests/testapp/README.md)) to demonstrate |
| 39 | how to properly use the latest androidx.webkit APIs in your Android app. |
