Installing/Refreshing App blocks UI #696

Open es92 opened 11 years ago

es92 commented 11 years ago

the 'x installed' popup that appears at the bottom of the screen when installing apps blocks the app for several seconds, which is annoying when testing ui. It would be good to have an option to move the notification offscreen, so it doesn't block the app during startup.

B2G/Gaia displays that notification when it installs an app, and the Simulator uses B2G/Gaia's standard mechanism for (re)installing apps, which is why that notification appears. I agree that it's annoying, especially when you are rapidly developing an app and thus refreshing frequently! However, I'm not sure how to suppress it. Hmm, perhaps there's a way to reinstall an app without triggering it.
