Add the Application Show HbbTV line to the HbbTV Page Strategy about tal HOT 3 CLOSED

A typical requirement on an application is to only become visible once it has fully loaded. The show() method makes make the application visible when only one application can be visible at any time. This method only affects the visibility of an application. In the case where more than one application is visible, calls to this method will not affect the z-index of the application with respect to any other visible applications. The visibility of an application shall not affect the events that it receives – an active application will receive user input events even when it is not visible. Calling this method will trigger an ApplicationShown DOM event.

The implication of not doing this is that for a web application, the application is invisible when first started up, as the application may not have loaded yet. This should be an update to the existing hbbtv strategy, as all applications will have to launch in this mode to avoid the extra test effort.

This code gives an example of how show should be called

// When the application has been loaded, so that a partial application isn't
// drawn on screen for a split second
//
// Assumes that the application/oipfApplicationManager object has the ID
// “applicationmanager”
Var appMgr = document.getElementById(“applicationmanager”);
var self = appMgr.getOwnerApplication(Window.document);
self.show();
