973030 - Fire Gecko idle events after onPause

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

This is wild speculation, so I half expect "don't be crazy" or "we already do that".

@mozilla.org/widget/idleservice;1 is the idle service. Components can register tasks (such as bookmark backups) to be performed on idle.

./widget/nsIIdleService.idl


I also see a DOM interface, nsIIdleObserver. I don't know if these two things are linked.

./dom/interfaces/base/nsIIdleObserver.idl


We should run zero of these jobs during GeckoApp's lifecycle.

onPause, while the Gecko thread is still live, we should trigger idle, so these background jobs can run.

Thoughts?
