Is AdView in Android contain a WebView inside it ?

Question

I have been working on implementing my own AdView custom view that does similar functionality to Google's AdView.

I looked at the inheritance tree of AdView it seems that it inherits from ViewGroup and then from View.

Does anyone know if AdView contains a Webview that displays HTML based ads ? or AdView only supports images and text?

If its not a WebView can anyone think of any concern of using a Webview as a container for my ad banner?

Answer 1

The Admob AdView uses a WebView.
