ContentProposalAdapter should have a way to prevent the beep when programatically open the popup

Open laeubi opened this issue 3 months ago • 5 comments

ContentProposalAdapter#openProposalPopup() currently has (documented) behavior to emit a "beep sound" if it can not open because there are no proposals.

It would be good to let the caller choose to suppress that.

The simplest would be to just make ContentProposalAdapter.openProposalPopup(boolean) public and rename the parameter autoActivated to beep

Let's just remove the call to .beep()

But this is actually API behavior :-D

I would be fine with removing it but don't want to go the path of "it worked like this since 20 years!!!"

Let's bring this discussion to the mailing-list. If all people on the ML find it acceptable to change the behavior, it should be fine to do so.

An (annoying) beep cannot be API, +2 for removing this.
