Create a new package setting object for updated system apps rather than moving
around the same setting. This updates the resource, code and version correctly.
For updating system packages, disable the package first which removes the entry
from internal structures, create a new package setting, add it to list of user id's
then rest of installation steps, kill the process if needed via ActivityManager
then add this setting if everything was successful. This also fixes issues with
updating values prematurely.
When a new version of system package is available via OTA, just physically remove
entries for pkg. Note that the component and other info will be eventually updated
later on when scanning the package.
Also move certificate verification slightly ahead before scanning packages.
Some null checks
New api's in ActivityManager to kill an application pkg before finishing installation
Instead of a list, we now just have a single boolean indicating whether an
application is density aware, and this set set to true by default as of
Donut.
This changes the names of the directories in aapt, to what you see
in the list of DpiTest resources. Also adds a new "long" configuration
for wide screens, which the platform sets appropriate, and introduces
a new kind of resizeability for not large but significantly larger
than normal screens which may have compatibility issues.
* More surface view fix.
- correct event translation on surface view.
- use compatible window
* removed FLAG_NO_COMPATIBILITY_SCALE. It was my misunderstanding of how SurfaceView works, and this was not necessary.
* Added compatibility related info to package dumpsys
This is the problem where various things are listening for broadcasts
(such as battery status, PIN/PUK/Network) that an application can send
to cause harm to the system.
Solving this is tricky because many of these broadcasts are sticky,
and I have never figured out how to do permissions with sticky
broadcasts in a sane way. So instead, I am going to punt on the
general problem and just brute force it:
There is new a way for system components to declare specific
broadcast actions to be protected, which means that only the system
and the phone can send them. This is good enough for now. None
of it is exposed in the public API so we can make something a little
less stupid in the future if we ever need to.
It turns out this was not a problem in the resource code at all. Rather,
the system process has a cache of pre-loaded attributes it uses to avoid
continually reloading things as it needs them. Well it turns out this
cache wasn't flushed after a package was uninstalled or a configuration
changed, so you could re-install an app where you change its style resources
so its theme now points to one that is inconsistent in the cache.
This is mostly a problem for developers, where they continually install
new versions of an app where resources have changed. This could possibly
show up when updating an app on a normal phone, although the problem would
eventually correct itself since this cache uses weak references.
Anyway, the cache is now reworked to be flushed appropriately.
This change also includes an update to aapt to be able to dump the
contents of bags in resources.
* use full window for activities, and shift & clip the content
* refactored the compatibility code, and introdcued Translator class to handle cooridnate translations.
* removed a workaround to handle an activity with configChagne=rotation in old implementation.
* I'll fix background issue on rotation in next CL.
* removed unnecessary scaling code in SurfaceView, which I forgot to remove when I changed SurfaceView
not to scale the content.
- Fix a bug where targetSdkVersion could not be set if minSdkVersion. Stupid, stupid.
Also make sure to fail if minSdkVersion is for a code name. Really stupid.
- Change the API for resize compatibility mode to be a bit in the flags field, instead
of a separate boolean.
- Implement delayed dexopting, to avoid the looong full dexopt during boot. This is
only enabled for "eng" builds. When in this mode, the activity manager will make
sure that a dexopt has been done before loading an .apk into a process, and will
try to avoid displaying ANRs if they are due to the dexopt causing some operation
to take longer than it normally would (though I make no guarantees about this
totally working).
- Add API to Context to get the ApplicationInfo for its package, for easy access to
things like targetSdkVersion.
This introduces a new Uri form of Intent with an "intent:" scheme, and a
corresponding update to the parser to handle these, so that the browser
can use this generic facility for starting activities based on the links
that are clicked and allow for web pages to link to arbitrary intents.
There is also a new "package" field on Intent which allows you to limit
the components it finds to a given package. This replaces the new method
that was added to PackageManger for doing this when resolving activities,
and implements it for all Intent queries against the package manager.
Create a new public IntentSender class that can be used by PackageManager instead.
This new class uses IIntentSender internally and can only be created by PendingIntent for now.
Provide a new getIntentSender api in PendingIntent to create an instance of this class.
Move IIntentSender and IIntentReceiver from android.app to android.content
Change imports of IIntentSender and IIntentReceiver to reflect the new package name
The PackageManager api has been named as freeStorageWithIntent and will be renamed as freeStorage
once the older api(which has been deprecated) will be removed shortly.
* adding compatibility menu
* backup gravity
* set expanable=true if the screen size is hvga * density.
* added "supports any density" mode. I'll add sdk check later.
* disallow to catch orientation change event if the app is not expandable. This
was causing layout problem under non-expandable mode. I discussed this with Mike C
and we agreed to do this approach for now. We'll revisit if this causes problem to
a lot of applications.
When a system app gets updated, the permissions are granted to the new pkg. Similary when this updated pkg(from data partition)
gets removed, the older pkg from system partition is restored. but the permissions are'nt being granted explicitly and so the restore fails.
This fix addresses specific bugs related to uninstall of updated system apps. These code paths will be revisited later but this fix is needed for OTA's that might
fall back to older versions of system apps.
This was required because we need a way to set the preferred activity for a
particular intent filter based on user selection (in our case the
ACTION_WEB_SEARCH intent filter for selecting the preferred search engine from
the list of available search engines providers). The current
addPreferredActivity call was not sufficient since it leaves the existing
preferred activities in the list and does not remove them, which this call
does.
Now old applications will automatically be granted it. Also renamed it from
SDCARD_WRITE to WRITE_SDCARD to be consistent with our other permissions,
and re-arranged how we do targetSdkVersion to actually be usuable for this
kind of stuff.
Note that right now this results in basically all apps being given the
WRITE_SDCARD permission, because their targetSdkVersion is not set. I will
be dealing with that in a future change.
Merge commit '5d6d773fab559fdc12e553d60d789f3991ac552c' into donut
* commit '5d6d773fab559fdc12e553d60d789f3991ac552c':
AI 148824: Fix issue #1851541 (sharedUserId requests not being checked for matching signatures on .apk).
To address issues where we could leave half-installed applications around if there was a failure during the install, we split getPackageLP() into two phases: the first would create the record, and only after doing all verification checks would we call insertPackageSettingLP() to do the remaining part of the original implementation and actually insert the record into the data structures.
Unfortunately it was only in insertPackageSettingLP() that we would set the sharedUser field of the PackageSetting structure, so when before that we went to verify certificates, we didn't think it had requested a shared user ID, and let it through without checking.
This fix simply sets the sharedUser field when the PackageSetting structure is first created, so we will actually check against its certs. We still also set this again in insertPackageSettingLP(), but there is no harm in this because the only time we call this function is in that big install func, which just passes in the same shared user that it had when first getting the package.
BUG=1851541
Automated import of CL 148824
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.
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.

New error code for invalid upgrades in PackageManager
There are three major classes of changes here:
- Avoid writing lines where their values are often empty, false, or some other typical thing.
- Use partial writes to the PrintWriter to avoid creating temporary strings.
- Use StringBuilder where we need to generate real String objects (and where possible cache the result).
