736312 - navigator.mozApps support on b2g

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[[:fabrice] Fabrice Desré]

Attachment: patch

Now that the new API has landed on m-c, we can add the glue to support it on b2g.

This patch enables the API, and maanges the launch() call by dispatching a "webapps-launch: event to the homescreen.

This is the stuff I'm not comfortable with. Is "webapps-launch" event describe somewhere on a spec? I would like to avoid to introduce 'proprietary' events.

I don't think you need bind.

We don't have a spec defining how content is supposed to handle launching web apps.  We get to define it.

Not too thrilled with the approach here but it works for a v0.
