package org.mozilla.geckoview
This package contains the public interfaces for the library.
  • GeckoRuntime is the entry point for starting and initializing Gecko. You can use this to preload Gecko before you need to load a page or to configure features such as crash reporting.
  • GeckoSession is where most interesting work happens, such as loading pages. It relies on GeckoRuntime to talk to Gecko.
  • GeckoView is the embeddable View. This is the most common way of getting a GeckoSession onto the screen.

If you want full web functionality, the following permissions should be declared:
