We have APIs for a print service to declare an activity with custom
print options. In this activity the service can add custom properties
as well as change the standard ones such as pages to print. The ranges
of selected pages from the custom activity was incorrectly parsed
resulting in an off by one error in what is shown to the user and as a
result getting an exception when trying to print.

Print jobs in a created state should not be persisted. However,
if a print service sets the tag to a print job that is queued,
we were persisting even print jobs in a created state. This
change adds a simple check while persisting to avoid storing
created print jobs.

We keep track of historical printers but some of them may disappear
forever, say the user changes his printer. In such a case the print
system has no idea that the previous printer will never appear so
this change allows the user to remove historical printers.
In the all printers list the user can now long press on a printer
and if the printer is available he can select it from the context
menu. If the printer was used before regardless if it is active the
user may choose to forget it.

Layout and write may take some time during which the user can
cancel printing. Currently we wait for the last operation,
being write or layout, to complete before closing the print
dialog. Now in such a scenario we request a cancellation of
the ongoing operation.

1. Implemented the advanced printer options integration. Now a print service
may declare an advanced print options activity which may be launched by
the user if the current printer supports advanced print options. These options
are visible only to the print service that added them and it is the only party
that will interpret the options.
2. Fixed a couple of bugs in the saved print jobs parsing. One was that if there
are more than one page range, a half of the print job properties was not
properly parsed. The other was that the media size constructor was using
incorrect argument order, thus creating a media size with wring width.
3. Fixed and edge case where old print jobs and their docs can get stuck in
the spooler. If the app did not write the requested pages we were not showing
an error message, rather just finish the activity without canceling the print
job and this print job is stuck in the spooler. Now we show an error message
and the user may retry, cancel. If the user cancels the print job is also
cancelled, thus no leftover in the spooler.
4. Fixed the background color of the print dialog to meet UX spec.

1. For an app to print it creates a PrintDocumentAdapter implementation
which is passed to the print dialog activity. If the activity that
created the adapter is destroyed then the adapter, which may rely on
the activity state, may be in an invalid state. For example, an app
creates an adapter and calls print resuting in the app activity and
the print dialog activity being stacked. Now the user rotates the
device which triggers the recreating of the activity stack (assume the
app does not handle rotation). The recreated print dialog activity
receives the intent that originally created it with containing the
adapter that was constructed in the context of the old, now destroyed,
app activity instance.
To handle this we are limiting an app to be able to print only from
and activity and when this activity is destroyed we mark the adapter
as invalid which will result in hiding the print dialog activity. Note
that if the app process is killed we already handle this in the print
dialog activiy by registering a death recipient on the adapter binder.
2. In the PrintManager.PrintDocumentAdapterDelegate some of the state is
accessed only on the main thread and some from miltiple threads. The
code was trying to avoid locking for state that is not accessed by
multiple threads but this is error prone and the benefit does not
justify the complexity and added fragility. Now grabbing a lock all
the time.
3. The PrintJobConfigActivity waits for it to bind to the print spooler
service before instantiating its print controller and editor. However,
these can be accessed by invoking some of the activity cycle callbacks.
This change is adding null checks for the case where the activity
callbacks are called before the binding to the spooler is completed.

1. We were using the layout for the printer drop down from the
print dialog as the list item in the all printers activity.
This layout was not high enough. Now we have a separate
layout for the drop down and for the list. Note that they
are almost identical but this is better that writing java
code to lookup the height from the theme and change it
programatically since the java code is almost half the size
of the layout and leads to spreading the logic in both the
layout file and the java code.
2. The padding of the printers list was not correct. Now it
mimics the bahavior in settings where we change the padding
based on orientation.

1. There was leftover code in the printers adapter that was
hard coding the item width with no reason to do so.
2. Changed the icon view visibility to invisible to allow
the text of all list items including save to PDF and all

This is a resource file cotaining the media sizes for the Catalan

If a printer disappears or we do not get its capabilities, we
show the user a message that the printer is unavailable. This
message was appended after the printer name but they tend to
be very long and the user does not see that the printer is not
available due to ellipsis. Now we append the message after the
subtitle which tends to be much shorter.

If a print service reports a printer with no capabilities and then
removes and adds the same printer again with no capabilities we can
call layout with invalid attributes. While the print service should
not do that we must not crash. The reason is that the print dialog
code was lacking a check whether something changed before handling
the change of the current printer. This resulted in calling layout
even though we still do not have the printer capabilities resulting
in passing bogus print attributes to the app.

1. The getActivePrintJobs() method in print service is designed to return
the active print job i.e. ones scheduled to be processed by the print
service. Now the correct list is returned.
2. The listeners for observing the state of print jobs may be called even
after being unregistered. Ex: state change occurs and we schedule a
message on the app's main thread to make the notificaion. Now the app
unregisretes the callback and on the next loop the notification message
is handled.

When the user selectes a printer in the UI we ask the print service to start tracking
the printer, i.e. to observe changes of the printer state and capabilities. The callback
for the initially selected printer is called twice which breaks the contract and also
may trigger potentially expensive operations on the print service side.
More precisely the printer does not change and we ask the service to start tracking,
stop tracking, and again start tracking.

When a print service is disabled we assume all print jobs for it failed as we have
no way to know what happens to them. However we are also failing created print jobs,
i.e. ones not given to the service. Such jobs are in process of construction and
the print dialog is up. We should not fail such jobs as the dialog can still modify
their state and potentially select a print from a different service. Therefore, we
leave them alone and they will be failed if when constructed are passed to a
disabled/uninstalled service.

1. In my previous change I fixed a typo in the Java constant with
intent action to launch the print dialog but failed to updated
the print spooler manifest.
2. Removed dead code - the user id is no longer needed since the
spooler is an app that runs per user. Every user has its spooler.
This code was not referenced from anywhere.
3. Added a default icon to the print spooler.
4. Fixed a bug where if the print history is empty the UI goes
to the all pritners activity.

1. Before the print job activity was started asyncronously with
respect to the print call on to the print manager. This was
creating a situation where the starting activity may finish
before the print dialog appears which may lead to an orphaned
print document adapter with no data to print (as the UI is
is gone), or strange behaviors where the print dialog starts
on as a separate task.
To address this the pending intent for starting the print
dialog is not started by the print spooler since we cannot
call into it synchronously as we have to start its process
and bind to the spooler service which leads to jankyness in
the client app. Now the pending intent is created by the
print manager service in the synchronous print call so
from an app's perspective calling print starts the activity.
The side effect of this design is that the print dialog
activity may start before the system is bound to the spooler
service. In such a case the print activity cannot start
poking the print spooler state as the system registers
callback to observe the spooler state. To address this
the print spooler activity disables the UI and also binds
to the spooler service which happenes immediately after it
is started. As soon as the print dialog binds to the
service it starts the UI.
2. Fixed an bug in the printer adapter of the print dialog that
was leading to a crash if the only item in the adater is the
all pritners option and it is selected.
3. Piping the package name that started the printing so we can
pass it to the storage UI as a hint to open the last location
the app used.
