Topics for This Week

Memory Regression

Kats tracked down two issues with AWSY (bug 971001 and bug 971694). He tracked down the cause of bug 971001 and the fix landed. Memory issue is still open.

Eideticker Performance Regressions

Pageload regressions seem to be gone. William has addressed some issues with the devices and we have pageload performance back to where it was previously. Startup regressions are still present and we need to keep looking at ways to get improve performance. Dirty startup is affected by bug 971477 and we can get that working.

Hub

Sync API landed (bug 964447), demos in progress, weekly stand-up meeting notes here: https://mobile.etherpad.mozilla.org/firefox-hub

Working on

nalexander

  • PTO this Friday
  • Finally landed fixes for the Proguard + stale .class file build issues (bug 946083).
  • Removed fennec_ids.txt from Robocop (bug 969922). Don’t refer to elements by name (like “gecko_layout”), always refer to them by id (like org.mozilla.gecko.R.gecko_layout). Bonus: compilation errors when you screw up! Super easy to refactor with an IDE.
  • Removed almost all reflection from Robocop bug 938821. Please don’t re-introduce it.
  • Work in progress on moving Robocop to mobile/android/tests/browser/robocop and simplifying Robocop’s build (bug 938659)
  • Refreshed Eclipse project patches bug 853045
    • r+ on the meat
    • new improvement: project for Robocop (this is awesome)
    • still waiting on the right approach to integration: it’s likely to look like |mach build-backend –backend=AndroidEclipseBackend|
    • blocked on several spun off mozbuild tickets bug 971265, bug 971272, bug 971525
    • if you want to guinea pig:
      • apply the patches from bug 853045
      • |mach build-backend|
      • |mach build|
      • |mach package|
      • add the 5 Eclipse projects in $OBJDIR/android_eclipse to Eclipe
      • refresh everything, clean build everything in Eclipse
      • wait for it to stop churning, which can take a while
      • enjoy code browsing and refactoring

BLassey

  • bug 923228 – GeckoScreenOrientationListener is invoked hundreds of times during page load, two eideticker runs show a 220-300ms start up win (usual caveats of noise on eideticker)
  • bug 963505 – iframes should load with low network priority, the idea is to load main content before we load ads. I don’t have data to show this is actually helping or not though.
  • working on bug 971101 build and publish geckoview example. Blocked on ant not being installed on the builders. Not sure what I want to do there.
