Embedding support for Android

[pocmo]

Embedding support seems to have a high priority on desktop. It would be nice to have decent support for Android too. Maybe as a "drop-in" replacement for Android's WebView (ServoView)?

I looked a bit at the code but it seems like the only touch point with Android's Java APIs is MainActivity and from there everything disappears into "native land".

iOS support would be nice too. webkit provides a DOM API (Objective-C) . Does Servo embedding framework provide a such API?
Is there any official doc with the current state of the embedding API?

iOS support is a low priority due to platform restrictions on distributing applications that contain JITs.

@jdm Does Servo use/need JIT if JavaScript is not used? I'm not very familiar with the code base or browsers in general so apologies if I'm talking nonsense. I was thinking to manipulate the DOM directly through an API/binding like webkit provides for Objective-C.

A potential iOS version should get its own bug. This is not really a discussion about Android embedding. :)

It's not a drop-in replacement of a WebView, but a ServoView component is now available since #21199.
