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.

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. 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
printers to be left aligned.

1. Updated the print spooler icon shown in the action bar
when searching for printers in the all printers activity.
2. If the current printer's capabilities are not immediately
available the page count label in the dialog contained the
argument placeholders.

1. If an error happens during layout or write we show an error
message with the string provided by the application which
has an OK button to retry or tap outside to cancel.
2. Updated the targed and min SDK version for the PrintSpooler.

Initially we show the print dialog and when the user presses print
we show a generating dialog with an indefinite spinner and a cancel
button. The transition between the two UIs which are really different
layouts show in the print activity is animated. In the middle of
the animation from print to generating UI there was a jump of the
content and an undesired window animation kicking in. This is a
side effect of changing the activity to floating so now changing the
container size was causing window resize and hence animation. Fun!

1. If a printer is not available it has to disabled and grayed out.
2. Cancle a print job if the app does not provide the requested pages.
3. Fix current printer selection flicker when the print dialog is
showing up. Often the current printer is initially set to the user's
favorite and then it is changed back to the PDF one.

The empty state is now showing searching for printers hint if
the user is not searching, otherwise the empty state's hint is
a searching for printers message.

The user can select all printers from the print dropdown to get to
a search for printers activity where one can filter out the list
of a available printers. We did not have an empty state UI for the
case when the query yields no printers.

1. The printers in the printers list of settings change position if
they are updated. The settings app is using hidden platform APIs
the this change fixes.
2. Enable ProGuard for the PrintSpooler.
3. Added icons on the list of printers so the user knows which
print service used the printer. Now the user can know when
he is using cloud print and maybe incurring data costs vs
local printer discovered by a vendor plug in.

1. If the printer is unavailable we should not allow the user
to select it. Rather, show it grayed out.
2. Some string changes requeted by translators.
bug:10917222
Change-Id: I370f05f9c8e70e3f077db7eb02cf48e19a59925d
1. The print dialog was resizable and as a result when printers
come and go its size changes which looks bad. The dialog is
now trying to be maximally large limited by a max size or the
screen - whichever is smaller. This required moving from
GridLayout to several LinearLayouts since the former does not
support distribution of empty space evently between the items
in a row. Also we want all items in a column of inputs to be
of equal size (the spinners specifically).
2. Added labeledBy attribute to associate a view with another one
that serves as its label for accessibility purposes. We have
lebelFor attribute but it is not useful in most layout files
since it has to refer the auto-generated id of a view which
usually appears later in the layout file, thus generating a
compilation error. This was needed for the accessibility support
of the print dialog.
bug:10631660
2. Disabling the spinners or the print button did not produce
visual feedback leading to user frustration.
bug:10741907
Change-Id: I0c12eddabc4035bc7becd1b86c1f1b8fdcf4289c
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.
Change-Id: I5524665f2a9a565f186db85214d5e41a44f4812e
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. 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.
