Upgrading from Xamarin to .Net Maui - Customizing Webview
I need a webview that has a bridge between front-end and the webview.
This was the original guide I used for such an approach - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/custom-renderer/hybridwebvie...

However, trying this in .net maui I found that FormsWebViewClient is obsolete. It seems handlers are the new approach. https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/5322

Is there any simple example or documentation to help walk through such an approach?

    Hello,

    For Customizing Webview, you could refer to the following documentation and sample.

    Documentation: Customize controls with handlers.

    Sample: WebViewHandler.Android.cs.

    MAUI is still in preview testing, and we will improve documentations as soon as possible.:)

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Best Regards,

    Alec Liu.
