1. Fused printers loader was not using the discovered printers to update the
historical ones. Now if a historical printer is discovered we update its state
with the discovered, i.e. most recent, information.
2. Fixed a bug in the destination adapter of the print job config dialog that
was leading to a crash if all printers item is selected when there are no
discovered printers.
3. Updated the add printers asset in the all printers screen.
4. Historical printers were not persisted by the print dialog activity.
5. Reduced the number of printers we send per transation to avoid the binder
transaction size limit. Added sending of printers in chunks in a place
this was missing.

1. Updated the security mode of the print spooler. Now the spooler
is not signed with the system key, it is not a privileged app so if
it gets compromised (PDF rendering is a potential attack vector)
it cannot access dangerous permissions. Also only the system
can bind to the spooler.
2. Added APIs for asking a print service to start and stop tracking
a given printer. This is need for the case when the user selects
the printer and the print service should do a best effort to keep
the system updated for the current state of the printer.
3. Added APIs for putting a print job in a blocked state. A print
service would report the print job as blocked if for some reason
the printer cannot proceed, e.g. 99 pages are printed but there
is no paper for the last one. The user has to add more paper
and the print service can resume the job.
4. Changed the read/write APIs to use ParcelFileDescriptor instead
of FileDescriptor since the latter does not have a clean API for
detaching the wrapped Linux file descriptor when one wants to
push it to native.
5. Added API for getting the size of the printed document so the
print service can avoid handling big filed over cellular network
or ask the user if needed.
6. Now the print services that are preinstalled on the system image
are automatically enabled.

1. Added support for selecting a printer from the all printers activity
that is not in the initial printer selection drop down. The user
initially sees a sub set of the printers in the drop down and the
last option is to see all printers in a separate activity. Some
of the printers in the all printers activity are not shown in the
initial drop down.
2. Refactored printer discovery by adding (private for now) printer
discovery app facing APIs. These APIs are needed to support multiple
printer selection activities (print dialog and all printers activities)
and also the settings for showing all printers for a service.
Now multiple apps can request observing for printers and there is
a centralized mediator that ensures the same printer discovery
session is used. The mediator dispatches printer discovery specific
requests to print services. It also aggregates discovered printers
and delivers them to the interested apps. The mediator minimizes
printer discovery session creation and starting and stopping discovery
by sharing the same discovery session and discovery window with
multiple apps. Lastly, the mediator takes care of print services
enabled during discovery by bringing them up to the current
discovery state (create discovery session and start discovery if
needed). The mediator also reports disappearing of the printers
of a service removed during discovery and notifies a newly
registered observers for the currnet printers if the observers are
added during an active printer discovery session.
3. Fixed bugs in the print UI and implemented some UX tweaks.
Change-Id: I4d0b0c5a6c6f1809b2ba5dbc8e9d63ab3d48f1ef
1. Added past printer history tracking and merging favorite printers
with discovered printers.
2. Added save as PDF support.
3. Added all printers activity with search capability and optional
add printers chooser (if any print service provides add printers
activity)
4. Refactored the printer discovery session APIs. Now one session
can have multiple window discovery windows and the session stores
the printers found during past discovery periods.
5. Merged the print spooler and the print spooler service - much
simpler and easier to maintain.
Change-Id: I4830b0eb6367e1c748b768a5ea9ea11baf36cfad
1. Added a dedicated class that keeps track of the user's favorite printers
based on past usage. We keep the last 50 uses and assign a decreasing weight
to older historical use records. The printer whose records' sum is the
largest is considered the favorite for the user and so on.
2. Factored out the printer discovery logic from the print job config activity
into a separate available printers provider class. It encapsulates all the
logic to communicated with the remote print services to discover printers,
keep track of added, updated, and removed printers.
3. Preliminary scetch of the printer chooser acitivty that will show all the
printers.

1. Refreshed the print UI based on UX redlines.
2. Implemented tap outside cancel for the print job config activity
which is full-screen but pretends to be a dialog.
Change-Id: I5afc7cd40c696109d70af31536898cfcad91b2ab
1. Update the transition between the print job edit dialog and the
generating print job dialog. Now the former shrinks into the
latter.
2. Added most of the notification assets.
Change-Id: I84f35df5cb4f71b86a103c16ab87fd4d108b055b
1. Added a dialog to show a spinner while the app is writing the
printed content.
2. Fixed print job config acitivity leaking.
3. Updated the notifications a bit.
Change-Id: I8314390135a49605ee11ab4ed14b210a29566745
1. Added notifications for a queued print job, for a started print job,
for ongoing canceling a print job, and for a failed print job. The
notifications for queued and started state have a cancel action. The
notification for failed print job has a cancel and a restart action.
2. Propagating failure message from the print service to the notifications.
3. PrintJobConfigActivity was not setting the initial value for the
print job copies and was not updating the UI immediately after creation.
4. Refactored PrintJobConfigActivity to avoid using the hack to avoid
reaction for item selection change in a spinner for an event that
happened before the callback was registered.
5. Removed the label attribute from PrinterInfo and now PrinterId is
composed of the printer name and the service component name. This
is nice since for restarting print jobs we do not need to store
information about the printer except the printer id which is
already part of the PrintJobInfo's data. Also the printer name
is not expected to change anyway.
6. Allowing cancellation of a queued print job. Also no print job is
cancelled without asking the managing print service to do that.
Before we were immediately canceling print jobs in queued state
but it was possible for a buggy print service to not set the
print job state to started before starting to do expensive work
that will not be canceled.
7. PrintServiceInfo was throwing an exception the the meta-data
XML for the print service was not well-formed which would crash
the system process. Now we just ignore not well-formed meta-data.
8. Removed unused permissions from the PrintSpooler's manifest.
Change-Id: Iba2dd14b487f56e137b90d1da17c3033422ab5e6
1. API changes: Moved copies API from PrintAttributes to PrintJobInfo;
Changed the PageRange list to an array in PrintDocumentAdapter#onWrite;
Added onCancelled method to the layout and write callbacks.
2. Refactored the serialization of remote layout and write commands. Now
the commands are serialized by the code in the client instead in the spooler.
The benefit is simple code since the client has to do a serialization to delegate
to the main thread anyway. The increased IPC found is fine since these calls
are quite unfrequent.
3. Removed an unused file: IPrintSpoolerObserver.aidl
4. Added equals and hasCode implementation to PageRange, PrintAttributes,
MediaSize, Resolution, Margins, Tray, PrintDocumentInfo.
5. Added shortcut path for query APIs on PrintJob that return cached values
if the print job is in a uncuttable state, i.e. completed or cancelled. Failed
print jobs can be restarted.
6. PrintJobInfo was not properly serialized.
7. Updated the look of the print dialog to be stable if there is and there isn't
currently selected printer.
8. PrintJobCOnfigActivity now calls onLayout on every print attributes change
but requests a write only on print preview or print button press. Also if the
layout did not change the content and it is already written no subsequent
call is made. Also if the selected pages change and we already have them
no subsequent call to write is made. Also the app is called with print preview
attribute set when performing layout and with it cleared after the print button
is pressed. A lot of changes making sure that only valid actions are enabled
in the activity (looks like a dialog) at a given time frame. The print job config
activity is also hidden after we got all the data, i.e. layout and write are done.
9. The callback from the print spooler to the system are scheduled via messages
to avoid lock being held during the call. It was hard to guarantee that since a
method holding a lock may be calling one that would like to release the lock
at some point to make the callbacks.
10. Print spooler state is persisted only if something changes in a completed
print job, i.e. not one that is being constructed due the print job config dialog.
11. Fixed a potential race in the RemotePrintSpooler where it was possible that
a client that got a handle to the remote spooler calls into an unbound spooler.
E.g: the client gets the remote interface with a lock held, now the client releases
the lock to avoid IPC with a lock, during the IPC scheduling the spooler has
notified the system that it is done and the system unbinds from it, now the
client's IPC is made to a spooler that is disconnected.
Change-Id: Ie9c42255940a27ecaed21a4d326a663a4788ac9d
1. Added support for reporting the old print attributes during layout.
Now we keep track of the old print attributes, so the app can
compute the delta and decide whether re-layout work is needed.
2. Fixed PrintDocumentAdapter callback interleavings. Layout callbacks
were intermixing with write ones - a mess. Now we make an attempt
to cancel layout and write if they respond to cancellation, otherwise
we wait but do not interleave them.
3. Refactored the PrintJobConfigActivity for easier maintenance and
to have a single update UI method that does the minimal amount
of work.
