There is a webview in one of the activity in my android application. In which I want to show other websites such as news website, journals website, etc. Is it legal or not?

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because legal questions are off topic. Consult a lawyer. – Gabe Sechan May 29 '18 at 13:42
  • yes it's okay, as long you're following google's developer policy https://play.google.com/about/privacy-security-deception/user-data/ – Amir Dora. May 29 '18 at 13:43
  • if you need to show content from other websites... then have a link display the website off your app. i wouldnt keep it within. – letsCode May 29 '18 at 13:44
  • @DroiDev I want to show news websites in my app. – Nyein Chan May 29 '18 at 13:45

    then thats your problem. illegal? maybe...contact a lawyer.. unethical? yes. you are getting paid (maybe) from ads based on other peoples writings.... and the extent of your code is just taking a website and puttigng it into a web view. learn java, learn apis, learn parsing, get FREE content, then create an application. if you have to ask a question like this, then the odds are, its wrong. – letsCode May 29 '18 at 14:32
  • @DroiDev Ok, I got it. Thank you. – Nyein Chan May 29 '18 at 14:33
  • I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's about legal issues instead of directly about programming or coding. – Pang May 31 '18 at 02:38
