One of the problems I have been noticing is background services
sitting around running and using resources. Some times this is
due to the app developer doing this when they shouldn't, but there
are also a number of issues with the current Service interaction
model that make it very difficult (or impossible) to avoid
getting services stuck in the started state. This is a
change/enhancement to the Service API to try to address this.
The main change is that Service.onStart() has been deprecated,
replaced with a new Service.onStartCommand() that allows the
service to better control how the system should manage it. The
key part here is a new result code returned by the function, telling
the system what it should do with the service afterwards:
- START_STICKY is basically the same as the previous behavior,
where we usually leave the service running. The only difference
is that it if it gets restarted because its process is killed,
onStartCommand() will be called on the new service with a null
Intent instead of not being called at all.
- START_NOT_STICKY says that, upon returning to the system, if
its process is killed with no remaining start commands to
deliver, then the service will be stopped instead of restarted.
This makes a lot more sense for services that are intended to
only run while executing commands sent to them.
- START_REDELIVER_INTENT is like START_NOT_STICKY, except if
the service's process is killed before it calls stopSelf()
for a given intent, that intent will be re-delivered to it
until it completes (unless after 4 or more tries it still
can't complete, at which point we give up).

Implement new title bar hiding/showing behavior.
Remove the code that hides the title bar when the page finishes loading.
When the user double taps, if it did not result in changing the viewing
mode (i.e. on a mobile site), send a message to the client so we can
toggle the title bar's visibility. Required for a change to
packages/apps/Browser

don't center zoom on size change if zoom is in progress
The onSizeChange code is called when the device is rotated and
when the title bar is hidden. In the latter case, it is in response
to the zooming transition from overview mode to reading mode, and
the zoom center should not be recomputed.

Check for a null history item to avoid crashing.
When we select this option, this sequence of characters (which is neither a
valid email address nor a phone number), gets stored in contact with type MOBILE.
Fix: In function canAddToContacts, adding a check to validate whether the contact
to be added is a valid email address or phone number. If not, user will not be shown
with the option "Add to Contacts".
Use the in-memory ssl preference table before posting a message to the WebCore
thread. Since the WebCore thread is blocked waiting for the ssl resource, we
cannot query the user for their preference. If the table does not contain the
user's decision, bail on the request to avoid a deadlock.
Also mark a few of the ssl handler's method's as synchronized. This was reported
by findbugs.

Add extra to exclude specific MIME-types from Fast-Track.
Also added ContactHeaderWidget accessor for passing along
this list when triggering Fast-Track. This is used so that
the header widget can hide the profile icon when launched
while already looking at the profile.
We currently allow the dither="true" flag to be set on
individual <bitmap> and <nine-patch> objects, but that flag
is overridden when they are included in a <selector>. This
change adds the dither="true" flag to StateListDrawable so
they can be dithered when desired.
