I've been working on something similar myself, since Google has indicated Chromium WebView isn't a priority for them right now https://github.com/davisford/andr

    I don't see how that answers my question. I did not ask "did you steal this guy's code"... I am curious what your project does differently, when I would choose to use one over the other, and why your project exists. To provide a example, if someone asks me "how does Cydia compare to Installer", I say that it is based on an industry standard packaging system (as opposed to a one-off proprietary one), has package dependencies, a fast local search feature, installs by default with useful repositories, and is open source. It is not useful to say "Cydia is inspired by Installer but shares no common code".

      If you read the second paragraph, you'll notice the difference: android-chromium-view is a toolkit to help you build your own chromeview-alike using the latest version of Chromium. Its a really great project - I'll be trying it out with my own apps.

      ChromeView is unfinished business; the author has stated that he doesn't have time to commit to it right now. Certain things are broken in it like native scrolling. I started using it, and the more I got into the Chromium source, I realized that Content Shell is a better starting point (he started with AndroidWebView). Mine uses Chromium Content Shell -- native scrolling works great. The browser seems to be fully functional and performs quite well. What is left for you, or anyone interested, is to write your own Java/C++/JavaScript glue to make it into what you want it to be.

    That doesn't answer the question. it answers how the codebase is related, but it doesn't at all explain how the works compare.
