Backup & restore is still enabled by default, but with the expectation that it
will be enabled during the course of the Setup Wizard or some other privileged
entity that has notified the user about the ramifications. While disabled,
data-changed notices will still be collected, but no backup pass will be
scheduled. When the backup manager is later enabled, any pending data-changed
notices will then be processed and the apps invoked for backup.
There is a compatibility issue with the cupcake IME where the generic
input connection would just consume actions. Late in cupcake this
stuff was reworked so that the IME would send an action command
to the app instead of an enter key event, and the compatibility code
got lost.
This change retools the transport selection mechanism a fair bit. Transports
are now specified by name rather than by numeric ID, and the name of the
currently selected transport is stored in a persistent system property under the
name "persist.service.bkup.trans".
The name -> IBackupTransport translation is now handled by maintaining a map
from the names to the live IBackupTransport objects that correspond. The Google
transport service observer now registers and unregisters the transport as the
service goes up and down.
The bmgr command has been expanded to include real transport interrogation and
selection by name, and some documentation has been written for it.
This change fixes issues with existing applications that access the drawing cache
directly. The API now lets application choose whether they want to get a scaled
drawing cache or not. The framework relies on the scaled cache for quality
purposes.
* changes:
Add new EXTRA_POST_DATA extra key for use in VIEW intents to Browser. In a followup change, Grace will need to remove EXTRA_APPEND_LOCATION as we are replacing that with this.
It looks like the drop down list had already been taken down before the
callback fired so it caused a null pointer exception. In this case just
do nothing instead.
Bug 1927858
* changes:
Better (and less) logging from backup.
Add an extra null terminator. String8::unlockBuffer is supposed to be doing this, but it's not and I can't figure out why. This makes BackupHelperDispatcher able to read the keys correctly.

Also, we weren't writing the data size.
* changes:
Pipe all the camera callbacks to Java to facilitate the addition of new features. This will make it easy to add things like zoom callbacks without modifying the entire camera stack. Bug 1837832.
Applications can now declare that they support small, normal, or
large screens. Resource selection can also be done based on these
sizes. By default, pre-Donut apps are false for small and large,
and Donut or later apps are assumed to support all sizes. In either
case they can use <supports-screens> in their manifest to declare
what they actually support.
BackupManager now no longer tries to use a null service binder if it's used
early during the boot process. ActivityManagerService no longer tries to
dereference null pointers if bind/unbind semantics get out of step due to things
being run too early.
This change allows up to 5 AsyncTasks to run concurrently. Before, only 1 task
could run at a time, which was too limited. This change also bumps up the maximum
number of tasks that can be created; this large number is not an issue because
tasks are queued up and run only 5 at a time.
The observer is told when restore begins how many packages are being restored.
It then gets an onUpdate() call telling it that the Nth package is now
undergoing restore. Ultimately, its restoreFinished() callback is invoked,
passing a simple success/fail error code, to let it know that the restore
operation has concluded.
Backup transports now provide the Backup Manager with a suggested name with
which it can disambiguate any transport-specific bookkeeping that it needs to
maintain. The Manager keeps separate application backup 'state blobs' for each
transport now, preventing things from getting out of step if the device is
switched among multiple transports.
Also, the metadata backup agent is always invoked now on each backup pass. This
is cheap when there is nothing to do, but also strongly ensures that we never
wind up in a situation where a given transport destination has not been given
all of the metadata necessary for the backup set.
* changes:
Add caching of the speech rate and language in android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech so the speech params can be passed along in calls for text synthesis.
RelativeLayout, when measured with AT_MOST, was applying the gravity on its
children way too early. This caused the RL to set its measured size to
a value that was larger than necessary. This fixes the issue by deferring
the positioning of the gravity-dependent children until the dimensions
of the layout are known.
