Status Updates

Camera (DJF, Frank)

  • Any update on Camera API?

  • Yes, but I just haven't had the cycles. Dale will probably be helping with this.

  • Tim, are we tracking attention screen separately or here?
  • [Tim] attention screen a feature relying a yet-to-land platform bug. We should track it in Dialer with Etienne
  • Any progress by Frederico?
  • Josh, did you get a TF UX person hooked up on this?
  • [Josh] Yes, Frank Lee is on this and has reached out to their team. To best of my knowledge he has not heard back yet.
  • [Ian]
    • Sent a pull request to fixed #1508.
    • Implement a prototype layout for alarm feature and try to integrate with WebAPI of alarm if ready.
    • Ready layout part as following:
    • Have another tap for alarm feature in clock app.
    • Can create and edit multiple alarms setting
    • Can set the functions of Repeat/Ringtone/Enable/Snooze/Label/Time for alarm.

  • [Josh] New requirements were sent out yesterday (Monday June 4): https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gaia/Clock

Contacts (Etienne, Josh)

  • Bugfix for the "double edit"
  • [Josh] Awaiting confirmation w/ TF of strategy going forward.
  • [Josh] Received email from TF stating they're taking lead on implementation, with assist from Etienne.

Dialer (Etienne, Josh)

  • Talk with TF about them taking over the communication apps.
  • [Josh] Same as Contacts

Email (Andrew, Nekr, Casey, Donovan)

  • Gave demo yesterday at the M3 show-and-tell. Showed the revamped UI creating (an existing) Yahoo IMAP account, showing the contents of the folder, sending a message (it did show up eventually!), and saw a new messages sent by Chris Jones.
  • The plan is to issue a pull request (to be reviewed by Vivien) asap; TCPSocket is not landed quite yet (but should be soon), but there is a fake account implemented that can provide a limited experience of using the UI, although the fake account is not supposed to have 100% reality.
  • Next steps are to finish implementing flag mutation support (mark message read, star messages) in the back-end and UI. After that is folder moves, which also includes moving to trash. The back-end already supports mutation to a limited extent (necessitated by unit tests), but properly persisting them, generating local speculative database changes, providing undo support, and generally avoiding data-loss will be a bit more work. Hoping for this working by Monday.
  • Have a contact at Yahoo for server IMAP questions thanks to David Bienvenu of the Thunderbird team.
  • TCPSocket looks ready to land now -- cjones said to do the out-of-process work in another patch (Great news)

FM Radio (Pin, TF?, Frederico/Hernan?)

  • ( [Pin] My network is really bad, can not connect to Vidyo room, because of the SCO summit in China maybe, -_-!! )
  • [Pin] Updated the IDL of WebFM API, and implemented it including the antenna part.
  • [Steven] resolved the problem of audio.
  • We will start to integrate our works, and the gaia part, still be waiting for the specs.
  • [Josh] Frank will be the UX point person on this, working with the contributor team in Argentina. Have asked Frank to connect w/ everyone.

Gallery (David, Frank)

  • Getting up to speed with the gallery / video / camera apps
  • Gallery now reads files from device storage. I'm working on getting this landed with some way to push sample photos to the phone for demo purposes. Ideally, we can do this same thing for music and video, too.
  • I want to write a DeviceStorageDB utiltity that uses the DeviceStorage and IndexedDB APIs together and handles scanning and updates correctly. Hopefully this will be useful for all of the media apps.
  • [Josh]: Gallery: Aspect Ratio locks for Cropping [P2] - POSTPONED
