Hi Arthur, I have a wip of settings handling addon-details activity, I just wanted to get your feedback if the direction is right. The intention is to create an activity with the following options:
{
  name: 'configure', 
  data: {
    target: 'device', 
    section: 'addon-details', 
    options: {
      addon: /* Addon goes here */
    }
  }
}

If this is the right direction, I was wondering if instead of passing an addon itself, its origin would be sufficient, and then we could look up the addon object with the addon manager?

We uniquely identify apps using the `manifestURL` property everywhere else, so we might want to pass that instead of the full `App` object. The disadvantage of doing this is that it would require handlers to look up that app.

Fabrice, what do you think? I'm not sure what the precedent here is, but I would think that sending a full `App` object is a lot for an activity.

Ahh good to know, manifestURL would work just fine.

It should now be working with moz activities of this form:
{
  name: 'configure', 
  data: {
    target: 'device', 
    section: 'addon-details', 
    options: {
      manifestURL: "app://customizer.gaiamobile.org/manifest.webapp"
    }
  }
}

You can't even pass a full App object through an activity (they are DOM objects that we can't serialize to go through the IPC). Sending the manifestURL is the way to go.

There is a comment in github that needs to be addressed before merging, thanks.

I can't seem to find them in the actual PR, if you are referring to the comment in the obsolete PR about checking for initial options only once, afaik it should be addressed.

[Arthur Chen [:arthurcc][inactive after 6/30]]

I couldn't find them either. But it doesn't matter as it seems already being fixed.

For the latest PR, I was wondering why it touches `apps/settings/test/unit/panels/addons/addons_manager_test.js`?

I was thinking that that panel was the same as the addon manager in the modules folder. Undid those changes, hopefully looks good now.

EJ, the patch was proposed against master based on the one from yura. It adds support for accepting options when invoking an activity. The options then get passed to the add-on detail panel.

Yura, the only difference is that I return a promise in `onBeforeShow` so the panel is displayed only after it is rendered.

Would you mind review the patch? Thanks!

It looks good, though there's still visible un-rendered panel when opening details from activity, until the addon is found. I think this is why I had to only display the panel when the addon is loaded in lightsaber.

Looks nice !

I left some messages on GitHub and you can see whether you are going to address that or not. 

Thanks Arthur, r+ btw.

Just realized that returning a promise won't work if it is the first panel at launch. Switching back to the original solution. Yura, please help take a look at it again when you get a chance, thanks!
