feat: Implement LatestContentProvider for WebView recovery by dcalhoun · Pull Request #22774 · wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android

dcalhoun · 2026-04-07T20:05:17Z

Description

Ref CMM-1123.

This is a rebased version of #22493 (which was tested and approved). This now targets the jkmassel/gutenbergkit-settings-refactor branch (#22764) so it can be reviewed/tested on top of the GutenbergKit v0.15.0 upgrade.

Implements GutenbergKit's LatestContentProvider interface for pull-based content recovery.

When the WebView reinitializes (due to OS memory pressure or page refresh), the editor now requests the latest content from the app rather than using stale content from the initial WebView load. This ensures users don't lose their work during WebView recovery.

Changes:

Added getPersistedTitle() and getPersistedContent() methods to EditorFragmentListener interface
Set up LatestContentProvider on GutenbergView in GutenbergKitEditorFragment
Implemented the interface methods in GutenbergKitActivity returning content from EditPostRepository
Properly set the post status to avoid unexpectedly emptying post titles

Rebase notes:

Dropped 3 obsolete GutenbergKit version-bump commits (target branch already updates to v0.15.0)
Dropped the warmup-helper fix commit (warmup is a no-op stub on the new branch pending re-implementation against the v0.15.0 API)
Adapted EditorConfigurationBuilder to the new builder API: setStatus(...) → setPostStatus(...) and removed the now-redundant setPostType(...) call (postType is a constructor argument)

Testing instructions

WebView refresh recovery:

Open a post with existing content in the GutenbergKit editor
Make edits to the content (wait 2+ seconds for autosave to persist)
Trigger a WebView refresh: press Cmd+R while the WebView is inspected via the Chrome Inspector at chrome://inspect

Verify the editor recovers with the edited content, not the original

Allow GutenbergKit to retrieve the latest content persisted in the host app as needed. This is important for allowing GutenbergKit to display the latest content after the WebView reloads or re-initializes from memory pressure or backgrounding.

gradle/libs.versions.toml

 gravatar = '2.5.0'
 greenrobot-eventbus = '3.3.1'
-gutenberg-kit = 'v0.15.0'
+gutenberg-kit = '432-944fbfce704642cfe725dc69c03b3cf6d5018854'


This integrates the bug fix from wordpress-mobile/GutenbergKit#432, which is required for testing the LatestContentProvider's ability to preserve content persistence through WebView reloads.

Once wordpress-mobile/GutenbergKit#432 merges, this should be updated to point to a new release containing that fix.
