650390 - osversion in chrome.manifest files should query android os version

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Wesley Johnston (:wesj)]

For creating themes customized for different android versions, it would also be nice to be able to query the os version in our chrome.manifest files, similar to how we changed themes for windows xp vs. windows vista.

Let's examine this approach vs bug 650388

Simple enough if you can pull the android version in C++. Look to put something here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/xpcom/components/ManifestParser.cpp?force=1#468

Great! We can do that easily. We also need to add "Android" as a platform too. I see that in the same file.

Attachment: patch

Patch uses Android version string in chrome manifest parser. The string returns whatever Android gives us, which can be a limited set of 2 or 3 part version strings, meaning "2.2" or "2.3.3" forms. Using this patch and changes to a jar.mn (not in patch), I was able to test that the osversion flag was correctly handled at runtime. The jar.mn changes I used were modeled after:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/themes/winstripe/browser/jar.mn

except I used:

% skin browser classic/1.0 %skin/ os=Android osversion<2.3
% skin browser classic/1.0 %skin/ os!=Android

...

% skin browser classic/1.0 %skin/ginger/ os=Android osversion>=2.3

I ran the app on 2.2 and 2.3.3 devices. Both worked as expected.

If you see the theme change on gingerbread (android 2.3 and higher), then this patch is working. I see the theme change.
