Hi all (in particular 3.0 devs),
I just noticed an inconvenience under HoneyComb, and thought I'd share
it with you for thoughts.
I may have been pushing the limits but in the past I've successfully got
the following to work as expected on all platforms from 1.5 and up:
// Trimmed code for readability
final ImageView throbber = new ImageView(context); // Spinning arrows;
final FrameLayout fl = new FrameLayout(context);
final WebView i = new WebView(context);
final Dialog d = new Dialog(context);
d.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
fl.addView(throbber);
fl.addView(i);
i.setViewClient(/* bringChildToFrontOnPageFinished */);
i.loadUrl(someUrlToAFairlyBigPage);
d.setContentView(fl);
And then I return this dialog from onCreateDialog();
Overall, it technically still works, but the difference is that
previously when the WebView is broughtToFront, the dialog would size up
as needed (typically to fill the screen), but now it still stays the
same height as the throbber. Scrolling is then hard to say the least.
Now, there are some semi-obvious workarounds to make this work
reasonably (like having a bigger throbber or forcefully use
setLayoutParams() on throbber/webview), but my question is whether this
change was an intentional limitation of the redesign (seems somewhat
unlikely), or an easily fixed bug? Or perhaps I was really just
exceedingly lucky to get this to work before - but it seemed like a neat
effect and it works as expected if I use AlertDialog.Builder() instead,
but I really don't want the title to waste screen space.
Advice very welcome. I can create a minimal example app if you like.

PS. While the WebView in the dialog is open, the emulator seems to run
at full throttle for some obscure reason - however, this happens in
1.x/2.x too so that seems unlikely to be related to the issue.
