Not always. I was trying to write an android application to serve as a frontend to a site by launching a background webview, drawing the elements I&#x27;m interested to a canvas and sending the pixels back to the application. (Un)fortunately, after you draw an HTML DOM element to a canvas, you&#x27;re forbidden from reading the canvas pixels back and there&#x27;s no flags you can set on the webview to let you do it.
