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.
* changes:
Fixes#1596240. Optimize invalidate/draw passes by marking opaque views and avoiding drawing them. Whenever a View requests an invalidate its parent check whether the view is opaque or not. When the view is not opaque, the framework behaves as it used to. However, when a view is opaque, the parent marks itself as being dirty because of an opaque view. Its parent then does the same, and so on. When the framework then starts drawing the views, it does not draw views marked as dirty opaque. If a view is dirty opaque and receives an invalidate request from a non-opaque view, it then clears the dirty opaque flag and behaves as before.
* changes:
Make in-app search have a different background resource which looks like a slide-out drawer, to provide app context and because it is not full-screen.
like a slide-out drawer, to provide app context and because it is not
full-screen.
Also fix a problem where bringing up global search sometimes still did
not size the dropdown correctly, because the keyboard was not yet showing.
This adds new attributes for specifying a targetSdkVersion and maxSdkVersion.
There is a new ApplicationInfo flag that is set if the application has set
its targetSdkVersion to the current platform or later. Also you can now
use a string for minSdkVersion and targetSdkVerion, to indicate you are
building against a development tree instead of an official platform.
This introduces a new class in the base platform for performing a clean
shutdown (which was copied from the classes in the policies). It
includes new features to send a shutdown broadcast for applications
to do cleanup, and ot have the activity manager pause the current
activity before proceeding with the shutdown. These facilities are
also use to write at the most recent stat files for sync, battery
and user activity.
Previously, there was no generic contact icon in the framework.
ContactsProvider needs to have a generic contact icon to use
for contacts that don't have photos. Since there are multiple
packages (MyFaves, GoogleSubscribedFeedsProvider) that use
ContactsProvider.java directly, adding the icon in the
ContactsProvider package is not an option.
The icon is a copy of
packages/apps/Contacts/res/drawable-finger/ic_contact_picture.png
The previous implementation used a database for storing all of its state, which could cause
a significant amount of IO activity as its tables were updated through the stages of a sync.
This new implementation replaces that in-memory data structures, with hand-written code
for writing them to persistent storage.
There are now 4 files associated with this class, holding various pieces of its state that
should be consistent. These are everything from a main XML file of account information that
must always be retained, to a binary file of per-day statistics that can be thrown away at
any time. Writes of these files as scheduled at various times based on their importance of
the frequency at which they change.
Because the database no longer exists, there needs to be a new explicit interface for
interacting with the sync manager database. This is provided by new APIs on IContentService,
with a hidden method on ContentResolver to retrieve the IContentService so that various
system entities can use it. Other changes in other projects are required to update to the
new API.
The goal here is to have as little an impact on the code and functionality outside of
SyncStorageEngine, though due to the necessary change in API it is still somewhat extensive.
Also added new permissions android.permission.INSTALL_LOCATION_PROVIDER
and android.permission.INSTALL_LOCATION_COLLECTOR to the public API.

If this attribute is provided and true, the searchable activity will be
included in any global lists of search targets.
This is needed to support third-party suggestion providers in
global search. See http://b/issue?id=1819651
This lets the searchable activity specify the number of
characters needed to trigger suggestions. Before, this was
hard-coded at 0. This caused unnecessary querying of the
suggestion provider in cases where the provider does not
return suggestions for empty or short queries.
The attribute is not yet public.
Also adds a SearchManager method for listing all
searchables that can be included in global search.

The back key now dismisses the soft keyboard, and then the dialog.
The soft keyboard behavior is improved by having ACTV do the following when 'mDropdownAlwaysShowing' is true:
- touching outside of the drop down doesn't dismiss it
- touching the text field ensures the imei is brought in front of the drop down
- all public apis and framework changes have been reviewed by relevant folks in our branch (e.g romainguy)
- all new public apis are @hidden; they will still get reviewed by api council once we're in git
- other than that, it's mostly GlobalSearch and search dialog stuff, a new apps provider, and some tweaks
to the contacts provider that was reviewed by jham
