1208203 - Add a "printing..." indicator

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

When starting a print job (bug 1078432), there can be a short pause before the page is converted to PDF. This bug is about adding a simple indicator to let the user know a print job has started. I don't think we even care about showing the the print job ended.... Android takes over and shows a UI.

We could display a toast, like we do with downloads:

The place to do it for printing is here:

Just check for STATE_START.

Yeah, a toast might be enough. Anthony, any opinion on what the text should look like?

Attachment: print-notification v0.1

This patch adds a "Print job started..." toast, like the one we use for downloads.

I think just "Printing..." is enough. Though technically not print "ing", I think the distinction is not sufficient enough to make a differentiation.
