This commit adds comprehensive Android support for Wails v3, enabling Go applications to run as native Android apps with WebView-based UI. Key features: - Android-specific application implementation with JNI bridge - WebView integration via WebViewAssetLoader for serving assets - JavaScript runtime injection and execution via JNI callbacks - Binding call support with async result callbacks - Event system support for Android platform - Full example Android app with Gradle build system Technical details: - Uses CGO with Android NDK for cross-compilation - Implements JNI callbacks for Go <-> Java communication - Supports both ARM64 and x86_64 architectures - WebView debugging support via Chrome DevTools Protocol - Handles empty response body case in binding calls to prevent panic Files added: - v3/pkg/application/*_android.go - Android platform implementations - v3/pkg/events/events_android.go - Android event definitions - v3/internal/*/\*_android.go - Android-specific internal packages - v3/examples/android/ - Complete example Android application - v3/ANDROID_ARCHITECTURE.md - Architecture documentation 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Introduction
The traditional method of providing web interfaces to Go programs is via a built-in web server. Wails offers a different approach: it provides the ability to wrap both Go code and a web frontend into a single binary. Tools are provided to make this easy for you by handling project creation, compilation and bundling. All you have to do is get creative!
Features
- Use standard Go for the backend
- Use any frontend technology you are already familiar with to build your UI
- Quickly create rich frontends for your Go programs using pre-built templates
- Easily call Go methods from Javascript
- Auto-generated Typescript definitions for your Go structs and methods
- Native Dialogs & Menus
- Native Dark / Light mode support
- Supports modern translucency and "frosted window" effects
- Unified eventing system between Go and Javascript
- Powerful cli tool to quickly generate and build your projects
- Multiplatform
- Uses native rendering engines - no embedded browser!

FAQ
-
Is this an alternative to Electron?
Depends on your requirements. It's designed to make it easy for Go programmers to make lightweight desktop applications or add a frontend to their existing applications. Wails does offer native elements such as menus and dialogs, so it could be considered a lightweight electron alternative.
-
Who is this project aimed at?
Go programmers who want to bundle an HTML/JS/CSS frontend with their applications, without resorting to creating a server and opening a browser to view it.
-
What's with the name?
When I saw WebView, I thought "What I really want is tooling around building a WebView app, a bit like Rails is to Ruby". So initially it was a play on words (Webview on Rails). It just so happened to also be a homophone of the English name for the Country I am from. So it stuck.
