Should b2g have a global cache directory? Android has a folder whom
path is gived to an app via its Context (or what is the name of the
interface). This folder content or individual files can be in any time
deleted by the OS (android) when low on disk space. The data in it are
considered volatile, so only used for caching.
Should we have some kind of this functionality too?
E.g. for the new http cache backend we use andoid's cache dir and thus
we don't need any sophisticated eviction algorithm. It can make the
code less complex and takes some of the resposibility off an app coder.
And in relation to "Low device storage (notifying the user)" thread - is
there a way an app can say its data is critical (e.g. sms, email when
removing mails from the server, contacts)? We could just delete the
non-critical apps data when needed.
