697299 - Disable preferences before Gecko is loaded

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: disables menu item before gecko is ready

If the user tries to view the preferences activity before Gecko has been loaded, the screen won't be populated with the user's preferences.  This patch prevents the preferences activity from being shown before Gecko has been loaded.

can you rename isTabsTrayShowing to sIsTabsTrayShowing while you are here?

how would sIsGeckoReady ever be true here?  You probably can just drop these two lines.

re: how would sIsGeckoReady ever be true here?  You probably can just drop these two lines.

the menu is recreated every time the activity is recreated
e.g., the view is rotated or the user clicks back and resumes fennec again without quitting first

When Gecko is ready, are you able to flip android:enabled="false" to true? If a user has the menu bar open, after Gecko is ready, the Preferences item is still greyed out.
