Backups will be handled by launching the application in a special
mode under which no activities or services will be started, only
the BackupAgent subclass named in the app's android:backupAgent
manifest property. This takes the place of the BackupService class
used earlier during development.
In the cases of *full* backup or restore, an application that does
not supply its own BackupAgent will be launched in a restricted
manner; in particular, it will be using the default Application
class rather than any manifest-declared one. This ensures that the
app is not running any code that may try to manipulate its data
while the backup system reads/writes its data set.
Ignore touch up events that happen after a gesture was cancelled. This fix also improves performance by ignoring move events that are within the touch threshold.
* changes:
Remove dimmed background (and accompanying animation) for global search, since we should never really see that background anyway, and I suspect the animation is using a significant amount of CPU.
This adds the PowerProfile class and data file that provides power consumption numbers
for different subsystems. Also added Audio/Video subsystems to track on a per UID basis.
Background:
mlebeau said: "Cole had complained that the vertical alignment of the
text fields in search_dropdown_item_icons_2line.xml was a little
off. Specifically, when both lines are visible he wanted to see line1
pushed down 2-4 pixels (while keeping line2 in the same position as
now), and when only line1 is visible, he said it needed to be pushed
up 2-4 pixels from current."
Here's how the layout worked before (note that text2 and text1
are in this order in the layout file):
- If text2 is present, it is put at the bottom, with height set by
layout_height (currently 29dip) . - The line2 text is put at the top
of text2 (gravity=top).
- I think the paddingBottom=4dip in text2 has no effect, since the
text is top-aligned anyway.
- text1 is put at the top of the list item. If text2 is present, it
will have height 29dip (58 dip - 29 dip height of text2). It's a bit
weird, layout_height of text1 is completely ignored, but it has to be
set to something. If text2 is missing, it will fill the entire list
item height (58 dip).
- The line1 text is placed 4dip below the vertical center of text1
(4dip because of paddingTop).
Now, instead, text1 has height=wrap_content, and is placed right above
text2, if that's present. If text2 is absent, text1 is centered
vertically in the list item. This should have the desired effect.
If we want to tweak the positioning further in the case where text2
is visible, we can adjust the padding of text1.
* changes:
Add a new API to ListView: setGestures(int). This allows developers to enable gestures to jump inside the list or filter it. This change also introduces a new XML attribute to control this API. It also adds the ability to theme the GestureOverlayView from the gestures library. Finally, this adds a new VERSION header to the binary format used to store the letters for the recognizer.
This change replaces ILocationCollector with a more general mechanism that
passes locations received from a provider to all other providers.
The network location provider now uses this to implement the location collector.
In the future, this could be used to inject network locations to the GPS
as aiding data.
This change also removes the now obsolete permission INSTALL_LOCATION_COLLECTOR.

* changes:
Add support to SuggestionsAdapter to query the 'working' status of its underlying cursor and update a spinner in the search dialog accordingly.
If an installerPackageName was specified when the app was installed,
looks for a receiver of ACTION_APP_ERROR in that package. If found,
this is the bug report receiver and the crash/ANR dialog will get a
"Report" button. If pressed, a bug report will be delivered.
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.
* changes:
Fixes external #2686. Make @android:anim/linear_interpolator public since the default intperpolator for all animations is accelerate_decelerate.
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.
in global search (and in related apps using system search like the browser),
we'd like to have a consistent green color used for urls. This makes it
available system-wide.
Use java.text.DateFormat where possible, since that is already using
the CLDR data for the things it supports. Remove an unused date format
object from DatePickerDialog.
Add a new method for getting the standalone month names from applications,
although @hidden for now because it is an API change.
Pass the standalone month names down to native code in Time so that
tztime's strftime() can use them.
And then the bulk of the change: replace all the names for the months
and the days of the week, and AM and PM, and yesterday, today, and tomorrow,
with strings from CLDR. And replace several of the date format strings
with ones derived from CLDR, but reformatted to use strftime() style
instead of SimpleDateFormat style.
All these resource changes go into new donottranslate-cldr.xml files
and are removed from strings.xml so that they aren't part of the
normal translation process and the translators don't have to bother
with them (and risk messing them up).
