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.
This is part of a series of changes to improve input system pipelining.

Since we will not longer be modifying events in place, we don't need
to use an ashmem region for input. Simplified the code to instead
use a socket of type SOCK_SEQPACKET.

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.

We should use all-makefiles-under instead.
all-subdir-makefiles can be used only before any "include" statement.
Before this change, both subdirs were actually not included.

Added the concept of pointer properties in a MotionEvent.
This is currently used to track the pointer tool type to enable
applications to distinguish finger touches from a stylus.
Button states are also reported to application as part of touch events.
There are no new actions for detecting changes in button states.
The application should instead query the button state from the
MotionEvent and take appropriate action as needed.
A good time to check the button state is on ACTION_DOWN.
As a side-effect, applications that do not support multiple buttons
will treat primary, secondary and tertiary buttons identically
for all touch events.
The back button on the mouse is mapped to KEYCODE_BACK
and the forward button is mapped to KEYCODE_FORWARD.
Added basic plumbing for the secondary mouse button to invoke
the context menu, particularly in lists.
Added clamp and split methods on MotionEvent to take care of
common filtering operations so we don't have them scattered
in multiple places across the framework.

Added API on InputDevice to query the set of axes available.
Added API on KeyEvent and MotionEvent to convert keycodes and axes
to symbolic name strings for diagnostic purposes.
Added API on KeyEvent to query if a given key code is a gamepad button.
Added a new "axis" element to key layout files to specify the
mapping between raw absolute axis values and motion axis ids.
Expanded the axis bitfield to 64bits to allow for future growth.
Modified the Makefile for keyboard prebuilts to run the keymap
validation tool during the build.
Added layouts for two game controllers.
Added default actions for game pad button keys.
Added more tests.
Fixed a bunch of bugs.

This change makes it possible to extend the set of axes that
are reported in MotionEvents by defining new axis constants.
The MotionEvent object is now backed by its C++ counterpart
to avoid having to maintain multiple representations of the
same data.

Added support for loading the pointer icon from a resource.
Moved the system server related bits of the input manager out
of libui and into libinput since they do not need to be linked into
applications.

Some parts stubbed out but you can plug in a mouse and move
a green cursor around to interact with the UI.

This change enables the framework to synthesize key events to implement
default behavior when an application does not handle a key.
For example, this change enables numeric keypad keys to perform
their associated special function when numlock is off.
The application is informed that it is processing a fallback keypress
so it can choose to ignore it.
Added a new keycode for switching applications.
Added ALT key deadkeys.
New default key mappings:
- ESC -> BACK
- Meta+ESC -> HOME
- Alt+ESC -> MENU
- Meta+Space -> SEARCH
- Meta+Tab -> APP_SWITCH
Fixed some comments.
Fixed some tests.

Use Vendor ID, Product ID and optionally the Version to
locate keymaps and configuration files for external devices.
Moved virtual key definition parsing to native code so that
EventHub can identify touch screens with virtual keys and load
the appropriate key layout file.
Cleaned up a lot of old code in EventHub.
Fixed a regression in ViewRoot's fallback event handling.
Fixed a minor bug in FileMap that caused it to try to munmap
or close invalid handled when released if the attempt to map
the file failed.
Added a couple of new String8 conveniences for formatting strings.
Modified Tokenizer to fall back to open+read when mmap fails since
we can't mmap sysfs files as needed to open the virtual key
definition files in /sys/board_properties/.

The ShortcutManager used to only receive the key code of the key event
that triggered the shortcut. This change now provides the shortcut
manager with the whole key event so it can look up the associated
character using the correct key character map.
To make this more efficient, added a mechanism for recycling
key events. At the moment it is only used by key events owned by the
system process, since clients of the existing API (such as Views)
might continue to hold on to key events after dispatch has finished so
they would break if the key event were recycled by the framework.
Deprecated KeyCharacterMap.BUILT_IN_KEYBOARD.

Fixed a bug with dpad keys on external keyboards being rotated
according to the display orientation by adding a new input device
configuration property called "keyboard.orientationAware".
Added a mechanism for overriding the key layout and key character
map in the input device configuration file using the new
"keyboard.layout" and "keyboard.characterMap" properties.
Also added "trackball.orientationAware", "touch.orientationAware" and
"touch.deviceType" configuration properties.
Rewrote the configuration property reading code in native code
so that it can be used by EventHub and other components.
Added basic support for installable idc, kl, and kcm files
in /data/system/devices. However, there is no provision for
copying files there yet.
Disabled long-press character pickers on full keyboards so that
key repeating works as expected.

Refactored ViewRoot, NativeActivity and related classes to tell the
dispatcher whether an input event was actually handled by the application.
This will be used to move more of the global default key processing
into the system server instead of the application.

Fixed a bug where we would lose the first touch point when swiping out of
the virtual key area.
Fixed a bug where we would not send an ACTION_MOVE event in cases where
individual pointers went down/up and the remaining pointers actually moved.
This is important since many applications do not handle pointer movements
during ACTION_POINTER_DOWN or ACTION_POINTER_UP. In the case of
ACTION_POINTER_UP the movement was completely lost since all pointers were
dispatched using their old location rather than the new location.
Improved motion event validation to check for duplicate pointer ids.
Added an input source constant that was missing from the NDK api but
defined in the framework api.
Added a timestamp when reporting added/removed devices in EventHub.

Added the MotionEvent.FLAG_WINDOW_IS_OBSCURED flag which is set by the
input manager whenever another visible window is partly or wholly obscured
the target of a touch event so that applications can filter touches
accordingly.
Added a "filterTouchesWhenObscured" attribute to View which can be used to
enable filtering of touches when the view's window is obscured.
Change-Id: I936d9c85013fd2d77fb296a600528d30a29027d2
Added several new coordinate values to MotionEvents to capture
touch major/minor area, tool major/minor area and orientation.
Renamed NDK input constants per convention.
Added InputDevice class in Java which will eventually provide
useful information about available input devices.
Added APIs for manufacturing new MotionEvent objects with multiple
pointers and all necessary coordinate data.
Fixed a bug in the input dispatcher where it could get stuck with
a pointer down forever.
Fixed a bug in the WindowManager where the input window list could
end up containing stale removed windows.
Fixed a bug in the WindowManager where the input channel was being
removed only after the final animation transition had taken place
which caused spurious WINDOW DIED log messages to be printed.
Change-Id: Ie55084da319b20aad29b28a0499b8dd98bb5da68
Added more tests.
Fixed a regression in Vector.
Fixed bugs in pointer tracking.
Fixed a starvation issue in PollLoop when setting or removing callbacks.
Fixed a couple of policy nits.
Modified the internal representation of MotionEvent to be more
efficient and more consistent.
Added code to skip/cancel virtual key processing when there are multiple
pointers down. This helps to better disambiguate virtual key presses
from stray touches (such as cheek presses).

The old dispatch mechanism has been left in place and continues to
be used by default for now. To enable native input dispatch,
edit the ENABLE_NATIVE_DISPATCH constant in WindowManagerPolicy.
Includes part of the new input event NDK API. Some details TBD.
To wire up input dispatch, as the ViewRoot adds a window to the
window session it receives an InputChannel object as an output
argument. The InputChannel encapsulates the file descriptors for a
shared memory region and two pipe end-points. The ViewRoot then
provides the InputChannel to the InputQueue. Behind the
scenes, InputQueue simply attaches handlers to the native PollLoop object
that underlies the MessageQueue. This way MessageQueue doesn't need
to know anything about input dispatch per-se, it just exposes (in native
code) a PollLoop that other components can use to monitor file descriptor
state changes.
There can be zero or more targets for any given input event. Each
input target is specified by its input channel and some parameters
including flags, an X/Y coordinate offset, and the dispatch timeout.
An input target can request either synchronous dispatch (for foreground apps)
or asynchronous dispatch (fire-and-forget for wallpapers and "outside"
targets). Currently, finding the appropriate input targets for an event
requires a call back into the WindowManagerServer from native code.
In the future this will be refactored to avoid most of these callbacks
except as required to handle pending focus transitions.
End-to-end event dispatch mostly works!
To do: event injection, rate limiting, ANRs, testing, optimization, etc.
