Add the print service recommendation service
This service connects through the print manager to the print spooler:
PrintSpooler.AddPrintersActivity <-> PrintManager <-> PrintManagerService <-> UserState <-> RemotePrintServiceRecommendationService <-> PrintRecommendationService <-> PrintRecommendationServiceImpl
Hence there is a lot of mindless plumming.
The actual changes are only in the AddPrintersActivity which is extended
to show another list of services: The recommended services.
The PrintServiceRecommendationService is based on the experimenal print
service stubs provider. This provider was contributed the Android by
Mopria. As this services uses Android own network discovery service most
code from the experimental provider goes away. In fact the only logic
left over is the selections of mdns-txt fields to look at and the
printer vendor configuration.
This relies on the Android MDNS to get fixed (Bug: 27696905). This also
does not deal with how to update the recommendation service.

Add "app printer activity" and always keep the print service state
updated. Also fiddle with the UI to use more standard values.
To be sure the print service state alwasy updated I changed
PrintManager.getPrintServices to return a loader which just wraps a
registerListener/getList/removeListener combo.
I also added a new function to enabled/disable a print service to be
keep all updating logic inside the PrintManagerService->UserState.
Then I changed all code to use this new interface.
Detailed comments:
PrintServiceInfo:
- I had to add the enabled state to the PrintServiceInfo as some users
of PrintManager.getPrintServices want all services but then display
different data depending on the enabled state. Of course I could have
created two PrintManager.getPrintServices-loaders to load the two
separate list of services. I think it is much easier to add this
property though. It is updated every time new data is returned to the
PrintManager.getPrintServices-loader.
AddPrinterActivity:
- This is shown as a dialog-style overlay to indicate that the user will
return to the select-printers activity. It contains of three list that
are updated via separate loaders.
- The recommended services will be added later to keep this path set
small.
PrintActivity:
- There are two small places where we have to update the data when we
get a new list of print services.
- In very, very rare conditions it can happen that the print service
of the current printer gains or looses the "advancedOptions"
activity
- If we have no enabled print services we want to show "Add printer"
instead of "All printers...".
- Also the print registry is not the only loader anymore, hence we have
to assign loader ids to it to not conflict with the other loaders in
this activity.
- Small bug in onPrintersChanged: If a printer is selected and the print
service of this printer gets disabled the holder goes into "removed"
state which disables the printer. When the print service is then
enabled again, we forgot to re-enable the holder.
PrinterRegistry:
- The registry assumed that the FusedPrinterProvider was the only loader
in the activity. This is not true anymore, hence it has to assign the
appropriate loader ids.
- The FusedPrinterProvider has an internal loader, hence we have to
forward a loader Id into it.
- The PrintRegistry is only called backed for a single loader, hence no
need to check the loader-id.
SelectPrinterActivity:
- The AddPrinterDialog was removed as we now have the
AddPrinterActivity.
- Added a loader for the enabled services to update the empty state.
- Added dedicated loader Id for the PrinterRegistry again.
- If we have no enabled services, the SelectPrinterActivity chainloads
the AddPrinterActivity as this is the only thing the user can do
anyway. "Save a click". This should only happen when the activity is
create the first time.
- Moved the "add printer" from the menu item to the list of printers as
suggested by UX and Zach.
PrintManagerService, UserState and IPrintManagerParamtersTest:
- As the only place where the print service state is updated is now the
userstate, we have no more sychronization problems. Whohoo.
- The users can now register for changes to the print services similar
as they can register for changes to the print jobs.
- UserState.getPrintServices is the only function can exposes any
knowledge of the print services to the outside world.

Allow a print service to specify per printer icons, description and
info-activities
The icon is loaded from the discovery session only when it is displayed
to avoid having to store too many icons in memory.
Also the icons are not maintained in the historical printers. Only if
the printers are available nice icons are shown. A historical printer is
updated with the appropriate properties (including icon) once it becomes
available.

Refactor how the print dialog activity is started.
1. Before the print job activity was started asyncronously with
respect to the print call on to the print manager. This was
creating a situation where the starting activity may finish
before the print dialog appears which may lead to an orphaned
print document adapter with no data to print (as the UI is
is gone), or strange behaviors where the print dialog starts
on as a separate task.
To address this the pending intent for starting the print
dialog is not started by the print spooler since we cannot
call into it synchronously as we have to start its process
and bind to the spooler service which leads to jankyness in
the client app. Now the pending intent is created by the
print manager service in the synchronous print call so
from an app's perspective calling print starts the activity.
The side effect of this design is that the print dialog
activity may start before the system is bound to the spooler
service. In such a case the print activity cannot start
poking the print spooler state as the system registers
callback to observe the spooler state. To address this
the print spooler activity disables the UI and also binds
to the spooler service which happenes immediately after it
is started. As soon as the print dialog binds to the
service it starts the UI.
2. Fixed an bug in the printer adapter of the print dialog that
was leading to a crash if the only item in the adater is the
all pritners option and it is selected.
3. Piping the package name that started the printing so we can
pass it to the storage UI as a hint to open the last location
the app used.

App UI freezes when printing. API clean up.
1. The UI of a printing app was freezing a little when calling the print
method since the print manager service was waiting for it to bind to the
print spooler which generated the print job id (and the initial print
job info really). Now the print manager service is responsible for job
id generation and does not not wait for the print spooler to spin. Hence,
the app UI is not blocked at all. Note that the print manager initiates
the binding to the spooler and as soon as it completes the spooler shows
the print UI which is hosted in its process. It is not possible to show
the print UI before the system is bound to the spooler since during this
binding the system passes a callback to the spooler so the latter can
talk to the system.
2. Changed the print job id to be an opaque class allowing us to vary the
way we generate print job ids in the future.
3. The queued print job state was hidden but the print job returned by the
print method of the print manager is in that state. Now now hidden.
4. We were incorrecly removing print job infos if they are completed or
cancelled. Doing that is problematic since the print job returned by
the print method allows the app to query for the job info after the
job has been say completed. Hence, an app can initiate printing and
get a print job whose state is "created" and hold onto it until after
the job is completed, now if the app asks for the print job info it
will get an info in "created" state even though the job is "completed"
since the spooler was not retaining the completed jobs. Now the spooler
removes the PDF files for the completed and cancelled print jobs but
keeps around the infos (also persisting them to disc) so it can answer
questions about them. On first boot or switch to a user we purge the
persisted print jobs in completed/cancelled state since they
are obsolete - no app can have a handle to them.
5. Removed the print method that takes a file since we have a public
PrintDocumentAdapter implementation for printing files. Once can
instantiate a PrintFileDocumentAdapter and pass it to the print
method. This class also allows overriding of the finish method to
know when the data is spooled and deleted the file if desired, etc.
6. Replaced the wrong code to slice a large list of parcelables to
use ParceledListSlice class.

Spooler should not crash if print service config activities are not exported.
1. If a print service does not export its activities for settings and
adding printers the print spooler ignores them instead of crashing.
Also if the service is not enabled its activities are now ignored.
2. Added a dedicated permission for a print service to optionally
protect its settings and add printer activities such that only the
system can bind to them.
3. Fixed a crash in the print dialog if its content is detached
from the window and animators are running.

Print spooler security and some new print service facing APIs.
1. Updated the security mode of the print spooler. Now the spooler
is not signed with the system key, it is not a privileged app so if
it gets compromised (PDF rendering is a potential attack vector)
it cannot access dangerous permissions. Also only the system
can bind to the spooler.
2. Added APIs for asking a print service to start and stop tracking
a given printer. This is need for the case when the user selects
the printer and the print service should do a best effort to keep
the system updated for the current state of the printer.
3. Added APIs for putting a print job in a blocked state. A print
service would report the print job as blocked if for some reason
the printer cannot proceed, e.g. 99 pages are printed but there
is no paper for the last one. The user has to add more paper
and the print service can resume the job.
4. Changed the read/write APIs to use ParcelFileDescriptor instead
of FileDescriptor since the latter does not have a clean API for
detaching the wrapped Linux file descriptor when one wants to
push it to native.
5. Added API for getting the size of the printed document so the
print service can avoid handling big filed over cellular network
or ask the user if needed.
6. Now the print services that are preinstalled on the system image
are automatically enabled.

Print UI bug fixing and printer discovery refactoring.
1. Added support for selecting a printer from the all printers activity
that is not in the initial printer selection drop down. The user
initially sees a sub set of the printers in the drop down and the
last option is to see all printers in a separate activity. Some
of the printers in the all printers activity are not shown in the
initial drop down.
2. Refactored printer discovery by adding (private for now) printer
discovery app facing APIs. These APIs are needed to support multiple
printer selection activities (print dialog and all printers activities)
and also the settings for showing all printers for a service.
Now multiple apps can request observing for printers and there is
a centralized mediator that ensures the same printer discovery
session is used. The mediator dispatches printer discovery specific
requests to print services. It also aggregates discovered printers
and delivers them to the interested apps. The mediator minimizes
printer discovery session creation and starting and stopping discovery
by sharing the same discovery session and discovery window with
multiple apps. Lastly, the mediator takes care of print services
enabled during discovery by bringing them up to the current
discovery state (create discovery session and start discovery if
needed). The mediator also reports disappearing of the printers
of a service removed during discovery and notifies a newly
registered observers for the currnet printers if the observers are
added during an active printer discovery session.
3. Fixed bugs in the print UI and implemented some UX tweaks.

First cut of the print notifications.
1. Added notifications for a queued print job, for a started print job,
for ongoing canceling a print job, and for a failed print job. The
notifications for queued and started state have a cancel action. The
notification for failed print job has a cancel and a restart action.
2. Propagating failure message from the print service to the notifications.
3. PrintJobConfigActivity was not setting the initial value for the
print job copies and was not updating the UI immediately after creation.
4. Refactored PrintJobConfigActivity to avoid using the hack to avoid
reaction for item selection change in a spinner for an event that
happened before the callback was registered.
5. Removed the label attribute from PrinterInfo and now PrinterId is
composed of the printer name and the service component name. This
is nice since for restarting print jobs we do not need to store
information about the printer except the printer id which is
already part of the PrintJobInfo's data. Also the printer name
is not expected to change anyway.
6. Allowing cancellation of a queued print job. Also no print job is
cancelled without asking the managing print service to do that.
Before we were immediately canceling print jobs in queued state
but it was possible for a buggy print service to not set the
print job state to started before starting to do expensive work
that will not be canceled.
7. PrintServiceInfo was throwing an exception the the meta-data
XML for the print service was not well-formed which would crash
the system process. Now we just ignore not well-formed meta-data.
8. Removed unused permissions from the PrintSpooler's manifest.

Iteration on the print sub-system.
1. API changes: Moved copies API from PrintAttributes to PrintJobInfo;
Changed the PageRange list to an array in PrintDocumentAdapter#onWrite;
Added onCancelled method to the layout and write callbacks.
2. Refactored the serialization of remote layout and write commands. Now
the commands are serialized by the code in the client instead in the spooler.
The benefit is simple code since the client has to do a serialization to delegate
to the main thread anyway. The increased IPC found is fine since these calls
are quite unfrequent.
3. Removed an unused file: IPrintSpoolerObserver.aidl
4. Added equals and hasCode implementation to PageRange, PrintAttributes,
MediaSize, Resolution, Margins, Tray, PrintDocumentInfo.
5. Added shortcut path for query APIs on PrintJob that return cached values
if the print job is in a uncuttable state, i.e. completed or cancelled. Failed
print jobs can be restarted.
6. PrintJobInfo was not properly serialized.
7. Updated the look of the print dialog to be stable if there is and there isn't
currently selected printer.
8. PrintJobCOnfigActivity now calls onLayout on every print attributes change
but requests a write only on print preview or print button press. Also if the
layout did not change the content and it is already written no subsequent
call is made. Also if the selected pages change and we already have them
no subsequent call to write is made. Also the app is called with print preview
attribute set when performing layout and with it cleared after the print button
is pressed. A lot of changes making sure that only valid actions are enabled
in the activity (looks like a dialog) at a given time frame. The print job config
activity is also hidden after we got all the data, i.e. layout and write are done.
9. The callback from the print spooler to the system are scheduled via messages
to avoid lock being held during the call. It was hard to guarantee that since a
method holding a lock may be calling one that would like to release the lock
at some point to make the callbacks.
10. Print spooler state is persisted only if something changes in a completed
print job, i.e. not one that is being constructed due the print job config dialog.
11. Fixed a potential race in the RemotePrintSpooler where it was possible that
a client that got a handle to the remote spooler calls into an unbound spooler.
E.g: the client gets the remote interface with a lock held, now the client releases
the lock to avoid IPC with a lock, during the IPC scheduling the spooler has
notified the system that it is done and the system unbinds from it, now the
client's IPC is made to a spooler that is disconnected.

Refactoring of the print sub-system and API clean up.
1. Now a user state has ins own spooler since the spooler app is
running per user. The user state registers an observer for the state
of the spooler to get information needed to orchestrate unbinding
from print serivces that have no work and eventually unbinding from
the spooler when all no service has any work.
2. Abstracted a remote print service from the perspective of the system
in a class that is transparently managing binding and unbinding to
the remote instance.
3. Abstracted the remote print spooler to transparently manage binding
and unbinding to the remote instance when there is work and when
there is no work, respectively.
4. Cleaned up the print document adapter (ex-PrintAdapter) APIs to
enable implementing the all callbacks on a thread of choice. If
the document is really small, using the main thread makes sense.
Now if an app that does not need the UI state to layout the printed
content, it can schedule all the work for allocating resources, laying
out, writing, and releasing resources on a dedicated thread.
5. Added info class for the printed document that is now propagated
the the print services. A print service gets an instance of a
new document class that encapsulates the document info and a method
to access the document's data.
6. Added APIs for describing the type of a document to the new document
info class. This allows a print service to do smarts based on the
doc type. For now we have only photo and document types.
7. Renamed the systemReady method for system services that implement
it with different semantics to systemRunning. Such methods assume
the the service can run third-party code which is not the same as
systemReady.
8. Cleaned up the print job configuration activity.
9. Sigh... code clean up here and there. Factoring out classes to
improve readability.
