Hello SDL community,

The review of the revised (and renamed) proposal "SDL 0184 - Cancel Interaction RPC" begins now and runs through August 14, 2018. The original review of "SDL 0184 - Dismiss Alert RPC" occurred July 11 - July 17, 2018. The proposal is available here:

https://github.com/smartdevicelink/sdl_evolution/blob/master/proposals/0184-cancel-interaction.md

Reviews are an important part of the SDL evolution process. All reviews should be sent to the associated Github issue at:

#539

What goes into a review?

The goal of the review process is to improve the proposal under review through constructive criticism and, eventually, determine the direction of SDL. When writing your review, here are some questions you might want to answer in your review:

• Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to SDL?
• Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of SDL?
• If you have used competitors with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?
• How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?
  Please state explicitly whether you believe that the proposal should be accepted into SDL.

@joeljfischer The Motivation section of the proposal mentions that apps can't dismiss Alerts or a Scrollable Message.

Just to be clear, are you suggesting the proposed RPC to only be able to dismiss Alerts created from the AlertRequest RPC?

Or are you suggesting the new RPC is able to dismiss any "pop-up" like view on the HMI (Alert, Scrollable Message, PerformInteraction, Slider)?

[Jack-Byrne]

Also because apps have the ability to display alerts while another app is in full, would it be allowed for one app to dismiss the alert of a different app?

Yes, sorry it was unclear. Any "pop-up" is contained in this proposal.

No, only your own app's pop-ups would be able to be cleared.

Yes, sorry it was unclear. Any "pop-up" is contained in this proposal.

I think this RPC might be to broad if that is the intention. I believe it would be better to give some sort of correlation between what "pop-up" should be dismissed by the request rather than a generic request that will close any "pop-up" that is currently being displayed by the app.

I would also suggests a less confusing name for the RPC as I don't consider PerformInteractions to be Alerts,DismissDialog perhaps.
