699242 - Create JS Parcel subset class for dealing with B2G RIL data

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Device Interfaces, defect)

Description

[Kyle Machulis [:qdot] [:kmachulis] (INACTIVE)]

We need to be able to parse Android Parcels in javascript. However, we only really need to be able to parse out values that appear in RIL packets, which are usually integers and 16-bit char strings. Create the minimum needed functionality for parsing all types that happen in RIL packets.

There are relatively few packet types that we need to parse:

- void
- single integer
- single string
- list of integers
- list of strings
- ints/strings together

These can be bound to the packet types. See

https://github.com/cgjones/android-frameworks-base/blob/gingerbread-b2g/telephony/java/com/android/internal/telephony/RIL.java#L2212

and 

https://github.com/cgjones/android-frameworks-base/blob/gingerbread-b2g/telephony/java/com/android/internal/telephony/RIL.java#L2380

for type parsing lists in java.

We won't need this bug any more right?

Yeah, since we're going to land the patches through the JS RIL bug, this one is done.
