Introduction

A Dolphin Add-on is an Android application that interacts with the Dolphin browser to create new functionality.  An Add-on can interact with web pages or with browser features such as bookmarks, history, and tabs.  Many such Add-ons are already available in the Google Play Store and on the Dolphin Browser Website.

The Dolphin Garage Add-on SDK is a Java library for Android developers who wish to create Dolphin Add-ons.  It simplifies the creation of the Add-on app and provides access to many features of the browser.  We hope it will encourage the development of a wide assortment of useful, enjoyable, creative Add-ons for the growing base of Dolphin users around the world.
