(“This Week in Glean” is a series of blog posts that the Glean Team at Mozilla is using to try to communicate better about our work. They could be release notes, documentation, hopes, dreams, or whatever: so long as it is inspired by Glean.)
|
||
|
|
All "This Week in Glean" blog posts are listed in the [TWiG index](https://mozilla.github.io/glean/book/appendix/twig.html)
|
||
|

(and on the [Mozilla Data blog](https://blog.mozilla.org/data/category/glean/)).

## It landed!

It took us several more weeks to put everything into place, but we're finally shipping the Rust parts of the Glean Android SDK with GeckoView
|
||
|
|
and consume that in [Android Components](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/pull/10828) and [Fenix](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/pull/20889).
|
||
|
|
And it still all works, collects data and is sending pings!
|
||
|
|
Additionally this results in a slightly smaller APK as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This unblocks further work now.
|
||
|
|
Currently Gecko simply stubs out all calls to Glean when compiled for Android,
|
||
|
|
but we will enable recording Glean metrics within Gecko and exposing them in pings sent from Fenix.
|
||
|
|
We will also start work on moving other Rust components into mozilla-central in order for them to use the Rust API of Glean directly.
|
||
|
|
Changing how we deliver the Rust code also made testing Glean changes across these different components a bit more challenging,
|
||
|
|
so I want to invest some time to make that easier again.
