Android WebView mojo service

[Shimi Zhang]

Hi chromium-mojo,

I am adding some mojo interface (sorry, Googlers only doc) for Android WebView, my current implementation is to register them to content_browser mojo service and add them to manifest overlay with a new capacity. However, from crbug.com/806394, it looks like the preferred way is to add a mojo service for WebView layer for embedder level features.

I saw some embedder features in Chrome are reusing content_browser and few others are using chrome's own service, so got confused, want to ask which is the right direction?

If we go with adding a new service, I think I need something very similar to ChromeService. I feel I'll need to duplicate almost everything there though.

Thanks!

Hi Shimi,

Ben had been working to eliminate overlays in favor of distinct services. I'm not familiar with where the work/thinking is at currently on that though. Ben, do you have a best practice here?

Thanks,

Colin

It's still not clear to me what we really want to do with content embedders for stuff like this. Since there's already an overlay for WebView and that's the simplest option, please feel free to go with that for now. I think we may have a better plan some time later in Q1.

Thanks Ken! I'll go with the overlay way for now.

On the other hand, I was experimenting the embedder service last week, there were bunch of issues I encountered with (mostly how to do X), off the top of my head:

I need to have WebView service under content packaged services, otherwise it will throw me an error message.

It seems we are deprecating service_manifest gn template, but I didn't see an alternative way for that.

I feel both are documentation issues though, hope my feedback could give some ideas.
