What is GeckoView
GeckoView is an Android library project that allows third-party developers to use Gecko as an Android View in their own applications. GeckoView is similar to Android's built in WebView, but it is not a drop in replacement for WebView.
Note that GeckoView is NOT ready to be used in a production environment. It is currently possible to load pages and do some basic stuff, but features are limited.
Current API documentation can be viewed here: https://mozilla.github.io/geckoview/javadoc/mozilla-central/
Using GeckoView
Add Nightly taskcluster repo to your build.gradle
repositories {
maven {
url 'https://index.taskcluster.net/v1/task/gecko.v2.mozilla-central.nightly.latest.mobile.android-api-16-opt/artifacts/public/android/maven'
}
}
Add geckoview to dependencies
Again, in build.gradle
dependencies {
compile 'org.mozilla:geckoview-nightly-armeabi-v7a:+'
}
This will always use the latest Nightly in the repository. As GeckoView development continues, we will have Beta and Release repositories that have the expected version names (61.0.0, etc).
Loading a page in GeckoView
You can now use GeckoView your app by including the following in a layout XML file:
<org.mozilla.gecko.GeckoView android:id="@+id/geckoview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
You can then load a page in your Activity with:
onCreate(...) {
// Find the GeckoView in our layout
GeckoView geckoView = (GeckoView) findViewById(R.id.geckoview);
// Attach the GeckoView to a new GeckoSession
GeckoSession session = new GeckoSession();
geckoView.setSession(session);
// Load a URL
session.loadUri("http://mozilla.com");
}
Example App
Firefox Focus has a build variant that uses Gecko. To build, check out the Focus code from https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android and follow the instructions. The only difference is you need to select one of the Gecko build variants from the Android Studio 'Build' menu.
The Gecko-related code for Focus lives in WebViewProvider.java
