1574229 - Enable including native code in GeckoView tests

Status: NEW

(GeckoView :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Randall Barker [:rbarker]]

Currently in GeckoView API test, they can only use Java and Kotlin. But in order to test the GeckoVRManager, the tests need to be able to include native code.

WebVR tests require native VR code (bug 1574231). How do we include this native code in these tests? Another FxR test issue is that WebGL doesn't work in the Android emulator.

I think this should Just Work using the built-in CMake-based native support that's integrated with the android gradle plugin. FxR builds all of its native code this way AFAIK.

That is how we do it in FxR, I just couldn't figure out how to do that with the m-c build system. For FxR AndroidStudio took care of setting that all up and it just worked.

Right, we don't need to use the m-c build system. We should be able to set it up for the geckoview test project the same way FxR does it.

Tasks and enhancements should have severity N/A.
