To support this feature, the input dispatcher now allows input
events to be acknowledged out-of-order. As a result, the
consumer can choose to defer handling an input event from one
device (because it is building a big batch) while continuing
to handle input events from other devices.
The InputEventReceiver now sends a notification when a batch
is pending. The ViewRoot handles this notification by scheduling
a draw on the next sync. When the draw happens, the InputEventReceiver
is instructed to consume all pending batched input events, the
input event queue is fully processed (as much as possible),
and then the ViewRoot performs traversals as usual.
With these changes in place, the input dispatch latency is
consistently less than one frame as long as the application itself
isn't stalled. Input events are delivered to the application
as soon as possible and are handled as soon as possible. In practice,
it is no longer possible for an application to build up a huge
backlog of touch events.

Minor tweak to the dispatcher to handle as many finished signals
in a receive callback as possible instead of going back to
the Looper and waiting for the next poll() to hit the callback
again.

This change enables the input dispatcher to send multiple touch
events to an application without waiting for them to be acknowledged.
Essentially this is a variation on the old streaming optimization
but it is much more comprehensive. Event dispatch will stall as
soon as 0.5sec of unacknowledged events are accumulated or a
focused event (such as a key event) needs to be delivered.
Streaming input events makes a tremendous difference in application
performance. The next step will be to enable batching of input
events on the client side once again.

The information gathered here will no longer be valid once we
start dispatching multiple events at a time to the same connection.
Moreover, we are more concerned with end-to-end latency, which we
can measure with sufficiently high accuracy in other ways.

remove this code.

Try harder to test for liveness. There are situations where
the lock might not be held but the input system is stuck in
a callback into the window manager policy that has hung.
Bug: 5094994
Change-Id: Iff88655512a5dc8bbb4615be65f4115e975c020b
Fixed a problem where the key up for the ALT or META key was not
delivered to the task switcher dialog because it was deemed
to be inconsistent with the window's observed state. Consequently
the dialog would not be dismissed when the key was released.
Moved global hotkey handling for META+* shortcuts and ALT/META-TAB
into the window manager policy's interceptKeyBeforeDispatching
method. This change prevents applications from hijacking these
keys.
The original idea was that these shortcuts would be handled only
if the application did not handle them itself. That way certain
applications, such as remote desktop tools, could deliberately
override some of these less important system shortcuts.
Unfortunately, that does make the behavior inconsistent across
applications. What's more, bugs in the onKeyDown handler of
applications can cause the shortcuts to not work at all, for
no good reason.
Perhaps we can add an opt-in feature later to enable specific
applications to repurpose these keys when it makes sense.

Bug: 5156144
Input channels could leak or simply live longer than they should
in some cases.
1. Monitor channels (used by the pointer location overlay) are never
unregistered, so they would leak.
Added code to handle failures in the receive callback by closing
the input channel.
2. The DragState held onto its input window and application handles
even after the input channel was disposed.
Added code to null these handles out when they are no longer needed.
3. Input channels previously used as input event targets would stick
around until the targets were cleared (usually on the next
event).
Added code to detect when the input dispatcher is in
an idle state and to proactively clear the targets then
to ensure that resources are released promptly.
4. Native input window handles held onto the input channel even
after the input window was removed from the input dispatcher.
Consequently, the input channel would not be disposed until
the input window handle itself was freed. Since the input
window handle is held from managed code, this meant that the
window's input channel could stick around until the next GC.
Refactored the input window handle to separate the properties
(info) and identify (handle) state into different objects.
Then modified the dispatcher to release the properties (info)
when no longer needed, including the input channel.
7. The pointer location overlay does not actually use its
standard input channel, only the monitor input channel.
Added INPUT_FEATURE_NO_INPUT_CHANNEL to allow windows to
request that they not be provided with an input channel
at all.
Improved some of the error handling logic to emit the status
code as part of the exception message.

Bug: 5049148
Finished stylus support, including support for indirect stylus
and mouse tools.
Added TILT axis. When stylus tilt X/Y is available, it is transformed
into an orientation and tilt inclination which is a more convenient
representation and a simpler extension to the exiting API.
Touch devices now only report touch data using a single input
source. Previously touch devices in pointer mode would report
both absolute touch pad data and cooked pointer gestures.
Now we just pick one. The touch device switches modes as needed
when the focused application enables/disables pointer gestures.
This change greatly simplifies the code and reduces the load
on the input dispatcher.
Fixed an incorrect assumption that the value of ABS_(MT_)DISTANCE
would be zero whenever the stylus was in direct contact. It appears
that the correct way to determine whether the stylus is in direct
contact (rather than hovering) is by checking for a non-zero
reported pressure.
Added code to read the initial state of tool buttons and axis values
when the input devices are initialized or reset. This fixes
problems where the input mapper state might have the wrong initial
state.
Moved responsibility for cancelling pending inputs (keys down,
touches, etc.) to the InputDispatcher by sending it a device reset
notification. This frees the InputReader from having to synthesize
events during reset, which was cumbersome and somewhat brittle
to begin with.
Consolidated more of the common accumulator logic from
SingleTouchInputMapper and MultiTouchInputMapper into
TouchInputMapper.
Improved the PointerLocation output.

There turn out to be two distinct bugs leading to runtime restarts.
The first, dating from at least Android 3.1, is that following certain kinds
of app crashes we properly clean up the drag-state bookkeeping, but aren't
prepared in the case of the drag-target timeout clock firing with a now-
null drag state in effect. We now catch that edge condition and don't NPE
(and note that there was already similar code around the separate timeout
when an app is *starting* the drag process).
The second bug is that some new-in-ICS code in the input channel management
wasn't prepared for certain cases where the current touch window could have
become unusable and its input channel torn down summarily in the case of the
aforesaid app crash during drag. The code now makes sure that there really
is an input channel that needs to be flushed / cancelled prior to attempting
that operation.

Bug: 5161854
The InputDispatcher contains code to recover from ANRs more quickly
when the user touches a different application. When triggered,
it sets mNextUnblockedEvent to the next event it should dispatch
(to the next application). All prior events are dropped.
This change fixes a bug where mNextUnblockedEvent could potentially
never be reset back to NULL if the inbound queue was drained
for some reason.

Bug: 5064702
Introduced the concept of an InputListener to further decouple
the InputReader from the InputDispatcher. The InputListener
exposes just the minimum interface that the InputReader needs
to communicate with the outside world. The InputReader
passes arguments to the InputListener by reference, which makes
it easy to queue them up.
Consolidated all of the InputReader locks into one simple global
Mutex. The reason this wasn't done before was due to potential
re-entrance in outbound calls to the InputDispatcher. To fix this,
the InputReader now queues up all of the events it wants to send
using a QueuedInputListener, then flushes them outside of the
critical section after all of the event processing is finished.
Removing all of the InputMapper locks greatly simplifies the
implementation.
Added tests for new stylus features such as buttons, tool types,
and hovering.
Added some helpers to BitSet32 to handle common code patterns
like finding the first marked bit and clearing it.
Fixed a bug in VelocityTracker where the wrong pointer trace
could get cleared when handling ACTION_POINTER_DOWN. Oops.
Changed PointerCoords so it no longer stores useless zero
axis values. Removed editAxisValue because it is not very
useful when all zero value axes are absent and therefore
cannot be edited in place.
Added dispatch of stylus hover events.
Added support for distance and tool types.

the new app.

This change moves the cached window and application input state
into the handle objects themselves. It simplifies the dispatcher
somewhat because it no longer needs to fix up references to
transient InputWindow objects each time the window list is updated.
This change will also make it easier to optimize setInputWindows
to avoid doing a lot of redundant data copying. In principle, only
the modified fields need to be updated. However, for now we
continue to update all fields in unison as before.
It turns out that the input dispatcher was inappropriately retaining
pointers to InputWindow objects within the mWindows InputWindow
vector. This vector is copy-on-write so it is possible and the
item pointers to change if an editing operation is performed on
the vector when it does not exclusively own the underlying
SharedBuffer. This bug was uncovered by a previous change that
replaced calls to clear() and appendVector() with a simple use
of operator= which caused the buffer to be shared. Consequently
after editItemAt was called (which it shouldn't have, actually)
the buffer was copied and the cached InputWindow pointers became
invalid. Oops. This change fixes the problem.

This fixes a problem where touches can get stuck because the
driver and the framework have different ideas of what the
initial slot index is. The framework assumed it was slot 0
but it could in principle be any slot, such as slot 1. When
that happened, the framework would start tracking the first
touch as slot 0, but it might never receive an "up" for that slot.

Fixed some issues where inconsistent streams of events could
be generated by the dispatcher, particularly when switching from
hovering with one device to hovering with another.
Fixed a bug where the touch pad would fail to generate a new
HOVER_MOVE following a tap event. As a result, the hover event
stream would not resume until the user touched the touch pad
again.

Made it possible for individual windows to disable pointer gestures
while the window has focus using a private API.
Cleaned up the InputReader configuration code to enable in-place
reconfiguration of input devices without having to reopen them all.
This change makes changing the pointer speed somewhat nicer since the
pointer doesn't jump back to the origin after each change.

When a window registers to listen for outside touches, it doesn't need
the position information for touches that land outside of its activity
for normal use cases.
This patch uses the foreground window's UID as a filter to determine
whether to pass the position information. This will allow applications
to continue to rely on touch information for inputs that were directed
at one of its other windows.

Some drivers report individual finger updates one at a time
instead of all at once. When 10 fingers are down, this can
cause the framework to have to handle 10 times as many events
each with 10 times as much data. Applications like
PointerLocation would get significantly bogged down by all
of the redundant samples.
This change coalesces samples that are closely spaced in time,
before they are dispatched, as part of the motion event batching
protocol.
Increased the size of the InputChannel shared memory buffer so
that applications can catch up faster if they accumulate a
backlog of samples.
