We have implemented readium.js in our own application in 2016.

Now, on Android 8.0 if the epub file has more than 100 xhtml files (chapters), app freezes (not crashes, but freezes). It looks like the webview or the app hasn’t еnough memory. (I am testing on Samsung s8 which has memory).

On previous version on android everything is ok (4.4,5.0,5.1,6.0 etc.)

Do you have any idea about the problem?

TODO: the references to the bintray repository should probably be updated in order to reflect the latest available versions, for example:

https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.android.tools.build.gradle/view
(2.3.3)

vs.

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.tools.build/gradle?repo=google
(3.x)

...and:

https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.android.tools.build.gradle-experimental/view
(0.9.3)

vs.

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.tools.build/gradle-experimental?repo=google
(0.11)
