Re: A consistent listener implementation

My initial response that any generalization of Event Listening is indistinguishable from an EventBus. I'm generally in favour of EventBuses, but would raise two points which have bitten me in the past: * if the event bus / generalized listener manager is does not handle threading, then this

Re: A consistent listener implementation

I don't know. I like easy to create messages. Creating a calss for all message types is Java's way of adding coupling back into an event bus. B Java! Agreed. However, I prefer annotated methods over a generic single method interface: i.e. the event bus should do the routing to the method tha

Re: [psa] JSONObject.optString doesn't do what you think it does

Hi, mfd As another datapoint: the Obj-C category `NSObject+NSJSON` treats nulls as a separate object type: `NSNull`, and all instances are `NSNull.null`. Instances of JS's undefined is represented with the equivalent of Java's `null`: `nil`. This is only possible because of Objective-C's loos

+100 on using WKWebView over UIWebView. Apple, unlike Oracle and Sun, are serious about deprecation and removal. My 2 cents: * when the majority of developers are learning most about a new platform, we should hesitate to wrap new-to-us concepts in badly implemented not-new-to-us-concepts. Fi

Addon sketches and ideas

Hi, I've had a bunch of experience with plugin systems before, so I've written up a set of ideas that are worth considering while we're in the honeymoon phase of 'Addons are important, and we have a blank slate' and before we've started designing anything. I have not written with any reference to

Re: Addon sketches and ideas

Thanks for the feedback. To summarize the feedback I'm getting: we're already developing a new desktop API; it'll be like Chrome's and we'd like Fennec to be able to share a lot of code with Desktop. I'm happy that we're going to be enabling easy translation of addons from Chrome to Firefox. With

Kitt browser for iOS, supports Chrome Extensions API

Re: [iOS] The Menu Has Landed!

Brilliant brilliant work. This is really top-drawer stuff, which gives the rest of app UI much room to grow, the first major iOS spinoff project, and a beachhead on to the refactoring work known only as BVC. – James On Wed, Apr 20, 2016 at 6:39 PM, Emily Toop wrote: > I landed the work that has

iOS UI Tests

Hey, I've spent a few spare cycles looking at the UI tests, which are currently failing consistently. I thought this might be a set of fixes which roughly translate to "sprinkle in a few `tester().waitForAnimationsToFinish()` statements", but it turns out to not be as simple as that. I'll probab

Fwd: [ios] Extending MenuView with long press.

Emily A question about menu. A question about AppState to come (I'm breaking these up into two emails). First: how do we support long press. So my ideas about adding long press to a menu item was how does the app get to know that the user has long pressed the menu item. I'm assuming that we can

Fwd: [ios] AppState, MenuConfiguration, and prefs

Emily, and others Background: We are trying to maintain some separation between MenuView code and the rest of the app, with the intention that a) this is good for the code b) MenuView could end up being a good candidate to be an open-source sub-project unrelated to the main app. MenuConfiguratio

I'm concerned on a number of fronts: the prominent display of the menu item, the non-changing browser chrome, styling inconsistencies by doing a bad job inverting colors. The most critical of these are bugs from restyling web content. I'm happy for this feature to slip for 5.0 until we have a bett
