This adds a new <path-permission> tag you can use inside of a <provide>
to define additional path-based permissions that broaden the global
read and write permissions. The initial use for this will be global
search, so that a content provider that is protected by permissions
can make a part of itself available to global search under another
permission. This addresses the issue with global search not being able
to request permissions it would need of providers it doesn't know
about at build time.
* added background filler surface to fill the outer rim. Using the same layer as dim surface because
they never co-exists (in the same window)
* clean up the obsolete code in CompatibiltyMode/ViewRoot for support large screen support.
A restricted Context is a special type of Context that prevents specific features
from being used. For instance, android:onClick, used by View, can be dangerous when
used from within apps widgets. By using a restricted Context to inflate apps widgets,
widgets providers are prevented from using android:onClick.
The system now keeps a tag of the last version (just an arbitrary string)
that the setup wizard was run for. If this is different than the current
one in the setup wizard, then setup is launched at boot.
This introduces a new intent action for the part of the setup wizard that
gets run for an ungrade, which the system uses to find its current version
tag for comparing against what was last stored. It is up to the launched
setup activity update the stored setting to reflect its current value,
once it is happy.
This is a little hacky -- we just assume that if adb is enabled and power
is connected through usb, then it is active.
The icons and text are temporary until final design is provided.
Applications can now declare that they support small, normal, or
large screens. Resource selection can also be done based on these
sizes. By default, pre-Donut apps are false for small and large,
and Donut or later apps are assumed to support all sizes. In either
case they can use <supports-screens> in their manifest to declare
what they actually support.
* changes:
* new screen resolution support impl. * use full window for activities, and shift & clip the content * refactored the compatibility code, and introdcued Translator class to handle cooridnate translations. * removed a workaround to handle an activity with configChagne=rotation in old implementation. * I'll fix background issue on rotation in next CL.

not to scale the content.
- Fix a bug where targetSdkVersion could not be set if minSdkVersion. Stupid, stupid.
Also make sure to fail if minSdkVersion is for a code name. Really stupid.
- Change the API for resize compatibility mode to be a bit in the flags field, instead
of a separate boolean.
- Implement delayed dexopting, to avoid the looong full dexopt during boot. This is
only enabled for "eng" builds. When in this mode, the activity manager will make
sure that a dexopt has been done before loading an .apk into a process, and will
try to avoid displaying ANRs if they are due to the dexopt causing some operation
to take longer than it normally would (though I make no guarantees about this
totally working).
- Add API to Context to get the ApplicationInfo for its package, for easy access to
things like targetSdkVersion.
The Resources class keeps a cache of known resources. The keys used by the
cache are stored as int primitives. For any given drawable resource, a key
is built thusly:
TypeValue.assetCookie << 24 | TypedValue.data
In the case of a plain color drawable, assetCookie always equals -1, that
is 0xFF once right-shifted and the data contains the color value. Which
means the key for the following two colors is the same:
0xFF000000
0x00000000
Because of the int storage and the use of the (constant in this case)
asset cookie, the alpha channel of a color is ignored. That means that
if you first load an opaque black color (0xFF000000), subsequent loads
of a totally transparent black color (0x00000000) will give you an
opaque black color.
A workaround is to use a transparent color that is not black,
0x00000001 for instance. Note that this issue would arise with any color
and any opacity level.
The solution to fix this issue is simply to change the cache to use
longs instead of ints to represent the keys. A key thus becomes:
TypedValue.assetCookie << 32 | TypedValue.data
This allows us correct storage of all colors at the cost of a few bytes.
The tradeoff is that we can keep caching ColorDrawable, which is
definitely worth it.
This introduces a new Uri form of Intent with an "intent:" scheme, and a
corresponding update to the parser to handle these, so that the browser
can use this generic facility for starting activities based on the links
that are clicked and allow for web pages to link to arbitrary intents.
There is also a new "package" field on Intent which allows you to limit
the components it finds to a given package. This replaces the new method
that was added to PackageManger for doing this when resolving activities,
and implements it for all Intent queries against the package manager.
* changes:
Remove circular dependency in PackageManager. api freeStorage uses PendingIntent from android.app Create a new public IntentSender class that can be used by PackageManager instead. This new class uses IIntentSender internally and can only be created by PendingIntent for now. Provide a new getIntentSender api in PendingIntent to create an instance of this class. Move IIntentSender and IIntentReceiver from android.app to android.content Change imports of IIntentSender and IIntentReceiver to reflect the new package name The PackageManager api has been named as freeStorageWithIntent and will be renamed as freeStorage once the older api(which has been deprecated) will be removed shortly.

* adding compatibility menu
* backup gravity
* set expanable=true if the screen size is hvga * density.
* added "supports any density" mode. I'll add sdk check later.
* disallow to catch orientation change event if the app is not expandable. This
was causing layout problem under non-expandable mode. I discussed this with Mike C
and we agreed to do this approach for now. We'll revisit if this causes problem to
a lot of applications.
This attribute is parsed by the PackageParser into ConfigurationInfo. The major
and minor version numbers are defined as the higher and lower order bits.
* Refactored Compatibility code
* Added CompatibilityInfo class
* Removed getApplicationScale from Context
* Added Resources#getCompatibilityInfo so that RootView can get the compatibility info w/o going through Context
* Expandable support
* Added expandable tag under manifest
* Old application w/o expandable is given the default screen size ([320, 480] x density).
* The non-expandable window is centered.
This allows content providers to use in-memory data to implement
ContentProvider.openAssetFile(), instead of just normal files
and sockets as before.
To test cross-process use of AssetFileDescriptors for MemoryFiles,
a test content provider and a client for it are added to
AndroidTests.
Fixes http://b/issue?id=1871731
This was required because we need a way to set the preferred activity for a
particular intent filter based on user selection (in our case the
ACTION_WEB_SEARCH intent filter for selecting the preferred search engine from
the list of available search engines providers). The current
addPreferredActivity call was not sufficient since it leaves the existing
preferred activities in the list and does not remove them, which this call
does.
Backups will be handled by launching the application in a special
mode under which no activities or services will be started, only
the BackupAgent subclass named in the app's android:backupAgent
manifest property. This takes the place of the BackupService class
used earlier during development.
In the cases of *full* backup or restore, an application that does
not supply its own BackupAgent will be launched in a restricted
manner; in particular, it will be using the default Application
class rather than any manifest-declared one. This ensures that the
app is not running any code that may try to manipulate its data
while the backup system reads/writes its data set.
PhoneStateListener events like LISTEN_CALL_STATE_CHANGED,
have privacy information like phone numbers and hence,
need to be protected with a permission. The permission
READ_PHONE_STATE is used for this purpose. Use the permission
trick to ensure backward compatability.
Now old applications will automatically be granted it. Also renamed it from
SDCARD_WRITE to WRITE_SDCARD to be consistent with our other permissions,
and re-arranged how we do targetSdkVersion to actually be usuable for this
kind of stuff.
Note that right now this results in basically all apps being given the
WRITE_SDCARD permission, because their targetSdkVersion is not set. I will
be dealing with that in a future change.
You can now use android:testOnly="true" to not allow your .apk to be installed
as a normal app. The only way to do so is with the pm command and giving the
-t option, which sets a new INSTALL_ALLOW_TEST flag when installing.
I also used this to clean up the install API... actually, mostly to hide
it, since it is not accessible to apps so shouldn't be in the SDK. We
will be doing some more work on it, so this will prevent adding yet
another backwards-compatibility-for-no-reason version.
