786599 - Firefox file picker is triggered when clearing the Android notifications after a file was already downloaded

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Download Manager, defect)

Description

[Cristian Nicolae (:xti)]

Firefox 18.0a1 (2012-08-28)
Device: Galaxy Note
OS: Android 4.0.4

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Fennec
2. Go to http://1.usa.gov/deeXKM
3. After the download is completed, the file picker is triggered or the file is opened directly. In any of these cases, tap on the Back button to go back to Fennec main view
4. Drag down the Android notification bar and tap on Clear button

Expected result:
All Android notifications are cleared, including the Firefox complete download notification.

Actual result:
File picker is triggered, or the file is opened directly by a default 3rd party app.

Note:
This issue is not reproducible on the stock browser.

This sounds like an Android issue.

It should be the same behavior on the stock then, right?

Attachment: Patch

The notification handler registers for two intents that we specify when we create the notification. ACTION_ALERT_CLICK and ACTION_ALERT_CLEAR. We're currently doing the same thing in both cases.

Approving for Aurora 17. No need to land on Beta 16, because we've already backed out bug 781061. Thanks wesj.

The backout of bug 781061 is to fix bug 786338.

The backout of bug 781061 would first be testable in b2, given when it landed. Hopefully wesj can help sort out where this fix needs to land.

I backed this out last thursday from https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-beta. I believe that we'd already branched for beta 1 by then and this is in beta 2.
