In content processes, attach GeckoEditableSupport to PuppetWidget so that the content process communicates directly with Java IME code over AIDL, rather than going through the widget content cache.
Add a GetIMEUpdatePreference method to TextEventDispatcherListener to
optionally control which IME notifications are received by NotifyIME.
This patch also makes nsBaseWidget forward its GetIMEUpdatePreference
call to the current TextEventDispatcher/TextEventDispatcherListener.

This is useful when a TextEventDispatcherListener needs to receive
different types of IME notifications than the platform's native widget.
Attachment #8841771 - Flags: review?(masayuki)
In PuppetWidget, add getter and setter for the widget's native
TextEventDispatcherListener. This allows overriding of PuppetWidget's
default IME handling. For example, on Android, the PuppetWidget's native
TextEventDispatcherListener will communicate directly with Java IME code
in the main process.

Add a JNIEnv* parameter to XRE_SetAndroidChildFds, which is used to set
the Gecko thread JNIEnv for child processes. XRE_SetAndroidChildFds is
the only Android-specific entry point for child processes, so I think
it's the most logical place to initialize JNI.

Are you planning to do something with this ProcessManager AIDL in the future? I'm not sure I understand what this current patch is adding.

I wonder if rather than drilling more hole to pass the JNIEnv into XRE, is there a reason we aren't just calling mozilla::jni::SetGeckoThreadEnv in Java_org_mozilla_gecko_mozglue_GeckoLoader_nativeRun for both parent process and child process? Then there is a single call site for both process types and makes the code a little simpler.

Yeah I have a future patch that adds a method to it. Right now it's just a skeleton.

I guess we would have to export mozilla::jni::SetGeckoThreadEnv somehow. We likely have to wrap it in another function since we tend to export functions as C-style functions, so I'm not sure if that's any simpler than this.

1. Add TextEventDispatcherListener::GetIMEUpdatePreference (v1)

I'd like you to brush up this patch before giving r+.

>+nsIMEUpdatePreference
>+TextEventDispatcher::GetIMEUpdatePreference()

Although, it's odd "event dispatcher" to know IME update preference, it's okay.

>diff --git a/widget/TextEventDispatcherListener.h b/widget/TextEventDispatcherListener.h
> #ifndef mozilla_textinputdispatcherlistener_h_
> #define mozilla_textinputdispatcherlistener_h_
> 
>+#include "nsIWidget.h"

I don't like this. You should use forward declaration for nsIMEUpdatePreference.

>   /**
>+   * Returns preference for which IME notification are received by NotifyIME().
>+   */
>+  NS_IMETHOD_(nsIMEUpdatePreference) GetIMEUpdatePreference()
>+  { return nsIMEUpdatePreference(); }

Then, you should move this implementation into TextEventDispatcher.cpp.

>+nsIMEUpdatePreference
>+nsBaseWidget::GetIMEUpdatePreference()
>+{
>+  if (!mTextEventDispatcher) {
>+    return nsIMEUpdatePreference();

>+}

I think that you should move all nsIWidget::GetIMEUpdatePreference() overrides to TextEventDispatcherListener::GetIMEUpdatePreference() because it's difficult to understand which is used by a call of nsIWidget::GetIMEUpdatePreference().  Additionally, we can make nsIWidget::GetIMEUpdatePreference() a non-virtual method because there is GetNativeTextEventDispatcherListener(). So, you should rename this method to nsIWidget::GetIMEUpdatePreference() (and move it to implementations of nsIWidget methods).

>diff --git a/widget/nsBaseWidget.h b/widget/nsBaseWidget.h
>   bool                    ComputeShouldAccelerate();
>   virtual bool            WidgetTypeSupportsAcceleration() { return true; }
>-  virtual nsIMEUpdatePreference GetIMEUpdatePreference() override { return nsIMEUpdatePreference(); }
>+  virtual nsIMEUpdatePreference GetIMEUpdatePreference() override;

Then, you can just remove this.

2. Allow setting a PuppetWidget's native TextEventDispatcherListener (v1)

Hmm, I don't understand this patch because nobody (including the following patches) calls PuppetWidget::SetNativeTextEventDispatcherListener(). If it's an overriding method of nsIWidget, I can guess the usage in the future, though.

BTW, I wonder, we could remove NotifyIMEInternal() because it has remained only for Android widget but it's now unnecessary because of your work. Cannot make PuppetWidget as a sub class of TextEventDispatcherListener or create "PuppetTextEventDispatcherListener" and call its NotifyIME() instead?

Support remote GeckoEditableChild instances that are created in the
content processes and connect to the parent process GeckoEditableParent
through binders.

Support having multiple GeckoEditableChild instances in GeckoEditable by
keeping track of which child is currently focused, and only allow
calls to/from the focused child by using access tokens.
Add IProcessManager.getEditableParent, which a content process can call
to get the GeckoEditableParent instance that corresponds to a given
content process tab, from the main process.

Support creating and running GeckoEditableSupport attached to a
PuppetWidget in content processes.

Because we don't know PuppetWidget's lifetime as well as nsWindow's,
when attached to PuppetWidget, we need to attach/detach our native
object on focus/blur, respectively.
Listen to the "tab-child-created" notification and attach our content
process GeckoEditableSupport to the new PuppetWidget.

I just posted part 8, which uses SetNativeTextEventDispatcherListener. We want to use the Android-specific TextEventDispatcherListener for PuppetWidget.
Flags: needinfo?(nchen)
This patch changes nsBaseWidget::GetIMEUpdatePreference to call
GetIMEUpdatePreference on the native TextEventDispatcherListener, so
TextEventDispatcher is no longer involved.

I kept nsIWidget::GetIMEUpdatePreference as virtual because PuppetWidget needs
to override GetIMEUpdatePreference and does not have a native
TextEventDispatcherListener implementation.

Thank you. Although, if PuppetWidget always has GeckoEditableSupport, PuppetWidget could be able to inherit TextEventDispatcherListener only when it's not built on Android. However, it's also not so simple design for the other developers. Okay, let's keep it.

I think we want a reference to avoid extra JNI calls (the alternative is to return java::GeckoEditable::LocalRef).
