Given the limited space available on the /data partition, I'd like to
add the possibility to move apps to the sdcard. This means moving the
app package and manifest, and also private data jars.
For this, we need to:
- Add a new api call to mozApps.mgmt, eg DOMRequest
moveToExternalStorage(Application)
- Add a new api to manage the app lifecycle, since we need to make sure
an app is not running before we move it. This one could live on the app
object itself, or on mozApps.mgmt.
- Update the webapps code and the app:// protocol handler accordingly.
- Update data jars to be usable on the sdcard. Ben thinks that this is
doable for indexedDB. That may be harder for other stores that use a
common db for all apps.
- Add some UI in Gaia.
One issue is that some devices have several external volumes. Any ideas
on how to manage that are welcome.
