Android Questions about Mozilla GeckoView


I am a beginner Android developer. I using the 'WebView' had tried to make a Android App. However, the speed of the web is too slow. So the Internet search results found GeckoView. But homepage has been difficult for me to understand I do not know English well.

My questions:

  1. Can I use GeckoView instead of the WebView? Is it simple?

  2. Can I use a code library that just adds to the 'build.gradle' in Android Studio?

  3. Is there another altenative?


Solution

  • Gecko view is only experimental.  You can't use for production

    So your only choice would be a webview. If you are great in javascript, I would recommend you to use react-native. This is how facebook is made, and you can follow extensive documents mentioned here.
