Now we have a 5-second time after home is pressed, during which
only the home app (and the status bar) can switch to another app.
After that time, any start activity requests that occurred will
be executed, to allow things like alarms to be displayed. Also
if during that time the user launches another app, the pending
starts will be executed without resuming their activities and
the one they started placed at the top and executed.
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.
This introduces a new class in the base platform for performing a clean
shutdown (which was copied from the classes in the policies). It
includes new features to send a shutdown broadcast for applications
to do cleanup, and ot have the activity manager pause the current
activity before proceeding with the shutdown. These facilities are
also use to write at the most recent stat files for sync, battery
and user activity.
The previous implementation used a database for storing all of its state, which could cause
a significant amount of IO activity as its tables were updated through the stages of a sync.
This new implementation replaces that in-memory data structures, with hand-written code
for writing them to persistent storage.
There are now 4 files associated with this class, holding various pieces of its state that
should be consistent. These are everything from a main XML file of account information that
must always be retained, to a binary file of per-day statistics that can be thrown away at
any time. Writes of these files as scheduled at various times based on their importance of
the frequency at which they change.
Because the database no longer exists, there needs to be a new explicit interface for
interacting with the sync manager database. This is provided by new APIs on IContentService,
with a hidden method on ContentResolver to retrieve the IContentService so that various
system entities can use it. Other changes in other projects are required to update to the
new API.
The goal here is to have as little an impact on the code and functionality outside of
SyncStorageEngine, though due to the necessary change in API it is still somewhat extensive.
Also added new permissions android.permission.INSTALL_LOCATION_PROVIDER
and android.permission.INSTALL_LOCATION_COLLECTOR to the public API.
