What does EdgeW mean in the Microsoft Edge useragent - android

Take the following useragent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 11; SM-G991B Build/RP1A.200720.012; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/91.0.4472.120 Mobile Safari/537.36 EdgW/1.0
What does EdgW mean?
EdgA means its Edge on Android
EdgiOS means its Edge on IOS
(source: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/10/05/microsoft-edge-ios-android-developer/)
but what does EdgW mean? Especially given that the useragent states that the user is using an Android device

we believe that this is an Edge WebView (this is just a guess so far)

Whats app doesn't support Webview android

I want to use whats app in Webview android. I've already tried to set user agent but it didn't help.
Is there any way that whats app recognize webview as Chrome browser.
String newUA= "";
newUA= "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/88.0.4324.181 Safari/537.36";
binding.webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
binding.webView.loadUrl("https://web.whatsapp.com/");
binding.webView.getSettings().setUserAgentString(newUA);
try to set User Agent BEFORE calling URL load (make all settings-related calls before any page load try)

How to open desktop site in webview in android
You can set user agent for your webView programmatically
In case something happens to the link, here's the answer for your question from that link:
private static final String DESKTOP_USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2049.0 Safari/537.36";
private static final String MOBILE_USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.4; en-us; Nexus 4 Build/JOP24G) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30";
//Choose Mobile/Desktop client.
WebSettings settings = mWebView.getSettings();
settings.setUserAgentString(DESKTOP_USER_AGENT);

Add my browser name in useragent

I used User agent Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4.4; One Build/KTU84L.H4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/56 Mobile Safari/537.36 that show my user as chrome 56, if I edit that it shows default Android webView or Android Browser. But I want to show my browser name.
Yes you can change user-agent :
WebSettings settings = webView.getSettings();
settings.setUserAgentString(" MY BROWSER ");
This is just a string , it is still chrome ;)

Android Jsoup.connect().get() takes very long time in android 4.4 versions

When working with jsoup the get() method takes extremly long time when working with android 4.4 versions
a simple http read on android 4.1 takes about 5-10 sec anf on android 4.4 takes about 100 sec
any has an idea how to solve this ?
here a sample code:
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II")
.userAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.114 Safari/537.36")
.referrer("http://www.google.com")
.get();

Overflow:hidden doesn't work on Xoom Browser

I have an image within a div container, that div container
has the style "overflow:hidden" which works on all major browsers
but for some reason doesn't work on Xoom, any ideas?
What browser is that anyway?
I've got a similar quandary in that overflow:auto stuff appears properly when the dom element is within the viewport, but once the element has moved above or below the viewport, it's content breaks free and becomes visible.
To answer your "what browser is that anyway", the User Agent I got during my tests was:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 3.1; en-us; Xoom Build/HMJ37) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13
The interface certainly looks like Chrome, but I guess it's a custom browser(?)
Paste that into http://useragentstring.com to get a pretty good analysis of the agent string.
