998506 - [B2G][E-Mail][Tarako]When the user cancels setting up e-mail they are still brought to the set up page

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::E-Mail, defect)

Description

[Derek Harris [:DerekH] - Dont need info. Last day 6/5/15]

Attachment: Logcat, Firewatch

Description:
When the user does not have E-mail set up and tries to share a photo with E-mail, they are asked if they wish to set up E-mail. Tapping 'Cancel' does not cancel the E-mail set up process.

Prerequisites: Have wifi connected, a picture in the gallery, and E-mail not set up

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Tarako to BuildID: 20140417004002
2) Open Camera app
3) From inside the Camera app go to the gallery
4) Select any picture>share>Email
5) When asked if you would like to set up email tap on 'Cancel'

Actual:
User is taken to 'New Account' screen to set up E-mail

Expected:
User is taken back to the photo they selected in the Gallery app

The firewatch logs (thanks for those!) indicate the camera app was dead by the time the e-mail app went back to return to the camera app.  We explicitly removed the workaround where we used to window.close() ourselves in bug 802643 to avoid confusing the system app (see bug 802643 comment 34).  We intentionally bring up the settings UI since if we're not closing ourselves it's essential that the UI have a valid state.

For Tarako the limited memory resources may mean that triggering the email app is guaranteed to kill the calling app, in which case our options are:
1a) admit the user has no choice, remove the prompt.  Per discussion on related bugs this may confuse the user since the prompt provides useful context.  This gives us the variant:
1b) modify the prompt so it's basically "okay, I'll set up an account"
2) put the window.close() workaround back in for v1.3T only, leaving the user back on the home screen.  It's still broken, but at least the user is one step closer to triggering the calling app again.  Leaving them in the email app is mean since they told us they don't want to be there.
3) Some system enhancement so that the original app can be re-triggered.  This is nicest to the user and requires no work on the email app's part! Yay!  (Although it then implies that the email app would need to learn to restore its state in all those cases where it's the one triggering activities.)

I'll go find an existing system/meta-bug on this later today and/or start a mail thread since this is a systemic issue.


Here's some excerpts from the log showing the comparable memory sizes when notable things happened:
