title: How do I ensure Android phonegap/cordova apps use Chrome webviews?
body: <p>I'm writing a game app that twists SVG graphics until they cry "Uncle!".  The program works OK on an iPad (safari/webkit) when hosted from a web server, for which no more need be said here.  It also works OK on an Android tablet when hosted from a web server, as long as a recent version of Chrome (like v.25 or later) is used.</p>
  
  <p>The program doesn't access the internet at all, but plays with its SVG graphics, runs Javascript and stores status in HTML5 localStorage().</p>
  
  <p>If I run the program on the "default browser" of older Android tablets the SVG graphics don't get handled correctly, thus my requirement for a recent version of Chrome on the tablet.</p>
  
  <p>I have just created an APK for my app, and find that it doesn't use the Chrome browser when I install it on my really-new Android tablet.  Rather, it seems to use a browser embedded within the APK, or at least called from the APK for which remnant libraries exist in the tablet.</p>
  
  <p>My aim with the APK is to make my code run displayed by a recent webkit browser, which seems to mean running in the Chrome environment.  </p>
  
  <p>For my question, I need to change something. But what?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>embed a Chrome browser in my APK?</li>
  <li>tell the APK to use the tablet's Chrome browser?</li>
  <li>give up using APK to distribute the program?</li>
  <li>???</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Do my dear readers have a clue for me?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,<br>
  Jerome.</p>
