1753467 - Integrate Glean with GeckoView's Java front-end

Status: NEW

(GeckoView :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[[ex-Mozilla] Agi Sferro | :agi]

It's currently not possible to submit telemetry from GeckoView's Java front-end. It would be nice if we were able to figure out a way to do so which is compatible with AC/Fenix.

Tasks and enhancements should have severity N/A.

Hey Jan-Erik, do you know if this is still needed/relevant?

Comment 3

[Jan-Erik Rediger [:janerik]]

Apparently there are potentially use cases (see the blocked bug), but we currently do not have any plan or resources to address this.

is there an alternative path for the collection, e.g. bubbling it up or down to a layer which we support?

If this is bubbled up into Gecko (C++ or JS parts) then this can go into Glean as usual, yes.

For the bug 1829217 use case, we were able to collect essentially what was needed in the JS GeckoView layer. (Bug 1871203 was the removal, but it shows the workaround used for sending some key information on that layer.)
