I ran into this on a local build (today's m-c) with my hub kitchen sink add-on: https://github.com/leibovic/hub-kitchen-sink/

Picasso is fine with null image URLs but not with empty strings. Maybe we should avoid saving this kind of data altogether here?

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

I just noticed this again and looked into what was causing it, and it was this:

    optionsCallback: function () {
      return {
        title: "Test Empty",
        views: [{
          type: Home.panels.View.LIST,
          dataset: "does.not.exist",
          empty: {
            text: "This is some test emtpy text",
            imageUrl: ""
          }
        }]
      };
    }

So we should also make sure to bail appropriately if add-ons use empty strings for other images.

We actually handle this for panel items with a TextUtils.isEmpty check before making the Picasso call:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/base/home/PanelItemView.java#67

I did a quick audit of where we use Picasso.with, and in addition to the empty view in PanelLayout, we could also run into this problem with PanelBackItemView.

While we could add a check higher up the stream to make sure we don't have an empty string for these values, adding a TextUtils.isEmpty check before using the Picasso API seems safest.

Attachment: Never pass an empty image path to Picasso

I updated PanelBackItemView and PanelLayout to do what we do in PanelAuthLayout.

This looks fine but wouldn't it better to just lean on Picasso for the placeholder logic? Something like:

Picasso.with(getContext())
       .load(TextUtils.isEmpty(backImageUrl) ? null : backImageUrl),
       .placeholder(R.drawable.folder_up)
       .into(image);

I don't feel strongly about it. Up to you.

Ditto.

When working on the empty views, we discussed avoiding the placeholder because we would see a default image flash before the real image was loaded. However, when I tried using an error image instead of a placeholder, I saw a lag before the default image is displayed while Picasso tries to load the null URL (perhaps there's room for improvement in Picasso there). In any case, I found that this approach of directly setting the default image ourselves performed best.

I'll request uplift once we also uplift the empty views stuff.

Note to release managers: I'm requesting uplift for a series of Firefox Hub bugs. The main fixes we need are in bugs at the end of the series, but trying to rebase those patches proved difficult and risky, so I think we should just uplift the dependecies.

Note to sheriffs: I have a local patch series that I can land on aurora when these bugs all get approval.

[Approval Request Comment]
Bug caused by (feature/regressing bug #): dependency for initial Firefox Hub release (promoted feed add-ons in fx30)
User impact if declined: panels won't update when data changes
Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): just landed on fx-team
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): only affects dynamic panels, need an add-on to trigger this
String or IDL/UUID changes made by this patch: none

Setting P1 hub bugs to block hub v1 EPIC bug (targeting fx30 release).

Filter on epic-hub-bugs.
