Open Web Apps on Android still have menus spawn from hardware button. Without the menu_panel_bg drawable, their background become transparent.

Comment on attachment 8701051 [details] [diff] [review] menu_panel_bg.patch mcomella is probably the best one for reviewing this. I don't remember the details but didn't we have a problem with some devices using dark backgrounds and some others using light backgrounds?

I think the "most correct" solution is to backout the bug that changed this, bug 1229958. Thanks for the report, Sun!

This was a side effect of using a color as the panelBackground, rather than a drawable. iirc, AppCompat necessitated this but if the web apps don't use AppCompat, maybe the menu just works.

Actually, I see we performed some funny business on GB in bug 1229958, where it was defined as: <item name="android:panelBackground">@color/text_and_tabs_tray_grey</item> Note that the issue Sebastian mentioned in comment 2 was specific to GB devices, where we can't always override the menu color. Sun, did you test this fix on GB devices?

Looking at alternative solutions, what does the hardware menu button spawn on web apps, Sun? Perhaps you can post a screenshot? Can software-only menu button users also get these menus? Do we need to change the mechanisms (as we did on the full browser) to make the hardware menu button work like the software menu button and avoid the transparency issue altogether?

I haven't test this on GB yet. It is a little bit hard to find such devices around here now.

Steps to Reproduce: 0. Install and launch an Open Web App with Fennec. 1. Press the hardware 'menu' button. 2. A menu with transparent background will appear.

Where do I get an Open Web App from? Are those the web apps from marketplace.firefox.com?

We are dropping support for those web apps, so I don't think we should spend time worrying about this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1235869 What menu is even expected to be shown? Web apps shouldn't rely on hardware menu buttons being present.

We chose to reuse the WebRT for GeckoView seems not quite mature. Currently we have got a working prototype with some minor patches, and planning a real-world trail in next Spring. Dropping WebRT may cause us a lot of trouble. Maybe we could discuss this matter more on Bug 1235869/Mailing List? > What menu is even expected to be shown?

Maybe we could discuss this matter more on Bug 1235869/Mailing List? Yes, we can discuss this matter in the discussion forum, and that's the best place to discuss it, since that's where we're having the conversation about disabling the web runtimes for desktop and Android.

I tested on GB and we need the panelBackground definition there too. Since we don't want to leave open web apps in a broken state before we remove it, let's land this with the GB change.

The hardware-button-triggered menu of Open Web App is still using it.
