AndroidGeckoWebView is the IWebView implementation used by 3D WebView for Android with Gecko Engine. It also includes additional APIs for Gecko-specific functionality.
static void EnsureBuiltInExtension(string uri, string id) Installs an extension using GeckoView's WebExtensionController.ensureBuiltIn() method. The extension is not re-installed if it's already present and has the same version.
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.EnsureBuiltInExtension(
"resource://android/assets/your-extension/",
"example@example.com"
);
#endifstatic AndroidJavaObject GetGeckoRuntime() Gets the native GeckoRuntime used by 3D WebView. If the GeckoRuntime hasn't been created yet, calling this method causes it to be created.
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
var geckoRuntime = await AndroidGeckoWebView.GetGeckoRuntime();
var settings = geckoRuntime.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getSettings");
var fontSizeScaleFactor = settings.Call<float>("getFontSizeFactor");
Debug.Log("font size scale factor: " + fontSizeScaleFactor);
#endifWarning: Adding code that interacts with the native GeckoRuntime directly may interfere with 3D WebView's functionality and vice versa. So, it's highly recommended to stick to 3D WebView's C# APIs whenever possible and only use GetGeckoRuntime() if an equivalent C# API doesn't exist.
AndroidJavaObject GetNativeWebView() Returns the instance's native GeckoSession.
await webViewPrefab.WaitUntilInitialized();
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
var androidGeckoWebView = webViewPrefab.WebView as AndroidGeckoWebView;
var geckoSession = androidGeckoWebView.GetNativeWebView();
// Call the GeckoSession.purgeHistory() to purge the back / forward history.
// https://mozilla.github.io/geckoview/javadoc/mozilla-central/org/mozilla/geckoview/GeckoSession.html#purgeHistory()
// Most native GeckoSession methods must be called on the Android UI thread.
AndroidGeckoWebView.RunOnAndroidUIThread(() => {
geckoSession.Call("purgeHistory");
});
#endifWarning: Adding code that interacts with the native GeckoSession directly may interfere with 3D WebView's functionality and vice versa. So, it's highly recommended to stick to 3D WebView's C# APIs whenever possible and only use GetNativeWebView() if an equivalent C# API doesn't exist.
string GetSessionState() Gets the serialized session state, which can be used to restore the session at a later time using RestoreSessionState().
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
var androidGeckoWebView = webViewPrefab.WebView as AndroidGeckoWebView;
var serializedSessionState = androidGeckoWebView.GetSessionState();
#endif void Pause() Pauses processing, media, and rendering for this webview instance until Resume() is called.
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
var androidGeckoWebView = webViewPrefab.WebView as AndroidGeckoWebView;
androidGeckoWebView.Pause();
#endifstatic void PauseAll() Pauses processing, media, and rendering for all webview instances. This method is automatically called by the plugin when the application is paused.
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.PauseAll();
#endifstatic void RestoreAudioFocus() Manually triggers the audio workaround described here. In some cases, 3D WebView may fail to automatically detect the audio issue, and in that scenario, the application can call this method to manually trigger the workaround.
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.RestoreAudioFocus();
#endif void RestoreSessionState() Restores a previous session using the serialized state returned by calling GetSessionState() on this webview or a previous webview.
await webViewPrefab.WaitUntilInitialized();
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
var androidGeckoWebView = webViewPrefab.WebView as AndroidGeckoWebView;
androidGeckoWebView.RestoreSessionState(serializedSessionState);
#endif void Resume() Resumes processing and rendering for all webview instances after a previous call to Pause().
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
var androidGeckoWebView = webViewPrefab.WebView as AndroidGeckoWebView;
androidGeckoWebView.Resume();
#endifstatic void ResumeAll() Resumes processing and rendering for all webview instances after a previous call to PauseAll(). This method is automatically called by the plugin when the application resumes after being paused.
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.ResumeAll();
#endifstatic void RunOnAndroidUIThread(Action function) Runs the given function on the Android UI thread.
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.RunOnAndroidUIThread(() => {
// TODO: Do something on the Android UI thread.
});
#endifstatic void SetConsoleOutputEnabled(bool enabled) Sets whether or not web console messages are output to the Android Logcat logs. The default is false. Unlike IWebView.ConsoleMessageLogged, this method includes console messages from iframes and console message like uncaught errors that aren't explicitly passed to a log method like console.log().
void Awake() {
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.SetConsoleOutputEnabled(true);
#endif
}If enabled, Gecko performance may be negatively impacted if content makes heavy use of the console API.
static void SetDebugLoggingEnabled(bool enabled) By default, the Gecko browser engine outputs debug messages to the Logcat logs, but you can use this method to disable that. Note that this method can only be called prior to initializing any webviews, so it's recommended to call it from Awake().
void Awake() {
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.SetDebugLoggingEnabled(false);
#endif
}static void SetDrmEnabled(bool enabled) Enables WideVine DRM. DRM is disabled by default because it could potentially be used for tracking. You can verify that DRM is enabled by using the DRM Stream Test on this page.
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.SetDrmEnabled(true);
#endifstatic void SetGeolocationEnabled(bool enabled) By default, web pages cannot access the device's geolocation via JavaScript, even if the user has granted the app permission to access location. Invoking SetGeolocationEnabled(true) allows all web pages to access the geolocation if the user has granted the app location permissions via the standard Android permission dialogs.
The following Android permissions must be included in the app's AndroidManifest.xml and also requested by the application at runtime:
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.SetGeolocationEnabled(true);
#endifGeolocation doesn't work on Meta Quest devices because they lack GPS support.
static void SetLocales(string[] locales) Gecko automatically sets the browser engine's locale (which is used for things like the Accept-Language request header) based on the device's system language. However, you can override the locale using this method.
void Awake() {
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.SetLocales(new string[] {"es-MX", "es-ES"});
#endif
}static void SetPixelDensity(float pixelDensity) By default, Gecko uses a pixel density of 1.0, but the application can call this method at startup to globally set a different pixel density in order to reduce pixelation and make web content appear more crisp. Note that this method can only be called prior to initializing any webviews, so it's recommended to call it from Awake().
void Awake() {
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.SetPixelDensity(2.0f);
#endif
}static void SetPreferences(Dictionary<string, string> preferences) Sets Gecko preferences, which can be used to optionally modify the browser engine's settings. Note that this method can only be called prior to initializing any webviews, so it's recommended to call it from Awake()..
The engine's current settings can be viewed by loading the url "about:config" in a webview. The available Gecko preferences aren't well-documented, but the following pages list some of them:
void Awake() {
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.SetPreferences(new Dictionary<string, string> {
["security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy"] = "false",
["formhelper.autozoom"] = "false"
});
#endif
} void SetSurface(IntPtr surface) Sets the Surface to which the webview renders. This can be used, for example, to render to a Meta Quest OVROverlay. When the application invokes this method with a valid surface, the webview renders to that given surface instead of rendering to its original texture surface (so IWebView.Texture is no longer updated). If the application invokes this method with a null parameter, it causes the webview to revert back to rendering to its original texture surface.
await webViewPrefab.WaitUntilInitialized();
var surface = ovrOverlay.externalSurfaceObject;
webViewPrefab.Resize(ovrOverlay.externalSurfaceWidth, ovrOverlay.externalSurfaceHeight);
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
var androidGeckoWebView = webViewPrefab.WebView as AndroidGeckoWebView;
androidGeckoWebView.SetSurface(surface);
#endifstatic void SetXRContext(IntPtr externalXRContext) Passes an external XR context to GeckoVRManager.setExernalContext(). WebXR isn't yet implemented in 3D WebView, but this method is provided in case others want to attempt to implement it. For more details on implementing WebXR, please see this article. Note that this method can only be called prior to initializing any webviews, so it's recommended to call it from Awake().
void Awake() {
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidGeckoWebView.SetXRContext(yourExternalXRContext);
#endif
} EventHandler<FileSelectionEventArgs> FileSelectionRequested Indicates that the page requested a file selection dialog. This can happen, for example, when a file input is activated. Call the event args' Continue(filePaths) callback to provide a file selection or call Cancel() to cancel file selection.
EventHandler<ScriptDialogEventArgs> ScriptAlerted Event raised when a script in the page calls window.alert(). If no handler is attached to this event, then window.alert() will return immediately and the script will continue execution. If a handler is attached to this event, then script execution will be paused until the event args' Continue() callback is called.
await webViewPrefab.WaitUntilInitialized();
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
var androidGeckoWebView = webViewPrefab.WebView as AndroidGeckoWebView;
androidGeckoWebView.ScriptAlerted += (sender, eventArgs) => {
Debug.Log("Script alerted: " + eventArgs.Message);
eventArgs.Continue();
};
#endif EventHandler<ScriptDialogEventArgs<bool>> ScriptConfirmRequested Event raised when a script in the page calls window.confirm(). If no handler is attached to this event, then window.confirm() will return false immediately and the script will continue execution. If a handler is attached to this event, then script execution will be paused until the event args' Continue() callback is called, and window.confirm() will return the value passed to Continue().
await webViewPrefab.WaitUntilInitialized();
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
