Hi Nick,

I looked at geckobrowser but wanted to compile GeckoView from source code.

Following your suggestion I am able to build GeckoView as part of fennec.

Thanks a lot!

GeckoView is currently built as a ride-along with a regular Fennec build.
You can see the uploaded archives (two zip files for now -- geckoview*zip)
at, for example, [1].  If you build Fennec locally, following the
instructions at [2], you'll have what you need.

There's also an integration builder that produces GeckoView AAR files; I
believe it's still working.  I blogged about it at [3].  Finally, I am
actively working with a superb new contributor, Ahmed Kahlil, on Bug 927388
[4], which will produce and upload GeckoView AAR to TBPL and let me
decomission that integration builder.  I intend to blog about Ahmed's work
when it lands and I will want testers.

In the interim, I suggest you start with Mark's example repository at [5].

Yours,
Nick
