743998 - refactor Android java code

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Widget: Android, defect, P2)

Description

[Brad Lassey [:blassey] (use needinfo?)]

This is solidly post-1.0 work, but I wanted to get a bug on file to track it and start getting people thinking about the fall out.

First, I want to remove everything in embedding/android.

Anything that is "core/widget" and is currently in embedding/android or mobile/android/base should be moved to widget/android/java or similar (path structure open to debate). This will involve merging the two GeckoAppShells as well as all the IME code. I expect that the IME code in embedding/android will essentially be thrown out.

Graphics code (mobile/android/gfx) should be moved to some directory under the gfx top level dir.

Application specific files should be moved to the application dirs (such as mobile/android/base and mobile/xul/base). I expect we'll need to refactor things like GeckoApp into a GeckoBaseApp class which lives in widget/android/java and then GeckoApp subclasses that live in mobile/android/base and mobile/xul/base.

I suspect that the current database code should live in the places directories, but I have less religion wrt that.

I don't think there's value in keeping this bug around.
