If we want to use the new SwipeRefreshLayout for Bug 970707 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=970707> we will need to update our support library to the newest version <http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/index.html> (19.1.0). As far as I can tell there are not any breaking changes as the only other changes listed on the Android site are bug fixes.
I'd just like to clarify that there are multiple version of the support library: v4, v7, and v13. Each of these has its own release version.
What jdover is suggesting is that we rev the v4 library to the newer release version to get access to the new SwipeRefreshLayout class. I'm +1 to this; we want to use it in a few different places:
* pull to refresh home page lists; * refresh remote synced tabs; * possibly pull to sync in the Firefox Accounts + Sync 1.5 status activity.
This will require all developers building fennec to update the support library on their local machines using the Android SDK Manager, as well as having it updated on the build servers (blassey help here?). Are there any other concerns that anyone knows about in regards to updating?
If we could interrogate the v4 internal version and fail the build if we don't have a sufficiently recent version, it would help a great deal. But in any case, I think we should do this, and will help with the build system as needed.
