Talk

Roundtable

  • Tzu-Lin: (looking for suggestion) BT team would like to implement a BT API test app and to put it in engineering build. They'd like to know where they could put their code? I was told that we should not add new app in dev_apps/ folder anymore.
    • UI tests are irrelevant to this issue, so we can't solve this in such way.
    • To use dev_apps looks like the only solution right now.
    • We need to ask about when and why dev_apps were deprecated.

Previous discussion on mailing list: http://bit.ly/1CDI2cU

  • Fred Lin: Intend to implement share url via bluetooth. Want to learn some insight about why our system cannot open html file in DeviceStroage (bug 1183509).
    • Treat it as a text file would be a workaround, maybe
    • Need more elaborations on mailing list
