1203045 - [TV 2.5] Dispatch input messages via mozInputMethod API in server side

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::TV::System, defect, P2)

Description

[Luke Chang [:lchang] (inactive)]

After bug 1197772 implemented, we need to dispatch these input events from the client-side page to the correct input field which is currently focused on TV. The idea is to utilize mozInputMethod API.

Please refer to https://github.com/luke-chang/ajax-websocket-test

For now, we have achieved that inputting arbitrary string in the client-side page and the string will show on the TV successfully.

However, we have some issues need to be addressed:

- once the string is sent, the software keyboard on the TV becomes ineffective until re-launch it.
- even the software keyboard recovers after re-launching, we can still see some error messages in console logs every time the keyboard shows up.

This issue has been fixed.

I found that it's a long-standing issue which happens whenever we enable two keyboard apps so we may not need to take care of it in this bug.

Hi Rex,

Please help with this. Thanks a lot.

This pull request contains two commits because it depends on Bug 1207995. You may need to review that bug first.

Looks good to me. Thank you!
There's one Gij fail but seems unrelated. And we need a rebase.
