Since the Android browser supports neither VML nor SVG the app crashes with javascript errors in GraphicsUtil. The simple fix is to include null checks in GraphicsUtil, which keeps the app from crashing but isn't really usable. I also implemented the render class using CSS3 so that it works for webkit-based browsers like android. I added the check for Client.supportsCss3 after VML and SVG so it will only be used if the others are not available. Also, Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) apparently now supports SVG so the check for supportsSvg which excludes all android browsers needs to be updated. While implementing the renderer I noticed some odd behavior with background colors and images. For both SVG and VML, if you have border turned off then you can set both a background color and image. However when you turn on borders it disables the color and shows only the image. It doesn't matter the order the styles are applied. My implementation currently depends on the order the styles are set as to what gets displayed, but I would like to fix it once I know what the proper behavior should be.
Created attachment 193080 [details] Patch to add CSS3 Graphics Support The attached patch is against CVS HEAD although I am having trouble testing due to CVS issues. I tested against a slightly older version and it works great. I updated with the few new methods and I think they will work. Once I figure out how to get the tests to run and I get CVS head working, I will try to add test cases.
Can this bug be closed? Fixing Bug 332509 should have solved thise issue, right?
Closing as WONTFIX, as the GraphicsMixin itself is and will not be supported on android. The client now uses CSS3 via the HTMLUtil.js instead, see Bug 332509.
