- a WebAppInterceptor is needed to redirect to a separate WebApp activity - the manifest dao currently reports a web app as installed when it was last used before the deadline / expiration time. This is the oposite of what it's supposed to do. - The intent extension should also hold an override URL so a WebApp intent can be launched with a deeplink. - The WebAppIntentProcessor currently launches new sessions for each intent. This will break user expectations when they start to be switched to a already running WebApp activity but loose their session. - we need a cache for currently installed web app scopes, so we don't have to do blocking IO during page load.
Android Components > Browser > Engine-System
Engine implementation based on the system's WebView.
Usage
See concept-engine for a documentation of the abstract engine API this component implements.
Setting up the dependency
Use Gradle to download the library from maven.mozilla.org (Setup repository):
implementation "org.mozilla.components:browser-engine-system:{latest-version}"
Initializing
It is recommended t create only one SystemEngine instance per app.
// Create default settings (optional) and enable tracking protection for all future sessions.
val defaultSettings = DefaultSettings().apply {
trackingProtectionPolicy = EngineSession.TrackingProtectionPolicy.all()
}
// Create an engine instance to be used by other components.
val engine = SystemEngine(defaultSettings)
Integration
Usually it is not needed to interact with the Engine component directly. The browser-session component will take care of making the state accessible and link a Session to an EngineSession internally. The feature-session component will provide "use cases" to perform actions like loading URLs and takes care of rendering the selected Session on an EngineView.
View
SystemEngineView is the Gecko-based implementation of EngineView in order to render web content.
<mozilla.components.browser.engine.system.SystemEngineView
android:id="@+id/engineView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
SystemEngineView can render any SystemEngineSession using the render() method.
val engineSession = engine.createSession()
val engineView = view.findViewById<SystemEngineView>(R.id.engineView)
engineView.render(engineSession)
