Add UIManager:discardEvents(), to allow dropping events
for a period of time.
Default duration of 600ms on eInk, 300ms otherwise.
Used when showing the dict result window, so that a tap
happening just when it's being shown won't discard it.
Used with Trapper:confirm()/:info(), to avoid taps made
in a previous processing to dismiss (and so, select the
cancel action) a ConfirmBox not yet painted/visible.
This commit standardizes the various todos around the code a bit in a manner recognized by LDoc.
Besides drawing more attention by being displayed in the developer docs, they're also extractable with LDoc on the command line:
```sh
ldoc --tags todo,fixme *.lua
```
However, whether that particular usage offers any advantage over other search tools is questionable at best.
* and some random beautification
New TrapWidget: invisible full screen widget for catching UI events. Can
optionally display a text message at bottom left of screen (ie: "Loading..."),
used by default by Trapper:dismissable functions when no widget provided.
Added Trapper:dismissableRunInSubprocess() to run a lua function in
a sub-process, allowing it to be dismissed, and returns its return
value(s).
- Fix links to wikipedia pages containing '?oldid=123', that
wouldn't work when used back thru the API.
- Make external links to other wikipedias with a different langage
work (they didn't work when non-ascii page titles)
- Speedup download of images by using a newly added 'fast_refresh'
option to Trapper:info() to bypass UIManager.
This module provides methods for simple interaction with UI, without
the need for explicit callbacks, for use by linear jobs between
their steps.
Uses coroutines, but their usage is hidden by a simple API.
Factored out of Wikipedia:createEpubWithUI().
