This CL does nothing but rename some L API candidates
in InputConnection class, as per requested.

- requestUpdateCursorAnchorInfo()
-> requestCursorUpdates()
- REQUEST_UPDATE_CURSOR_ANCHOR_INFO_IMMEDIATE
-> CURSOR_UPDATE_IMMEDIATE
- REQUEST_UPDATE_CURSOR_ANCHOR_INFO_MONITOR
-> CURSOR_UPDATE_MONITOR

a277db28e990d1f6f74ace0c32fe92401660a840 22-Aug-2014 Yohei Yukawa <yukawa@google.com> Remove CursorAnchorInfoRequest and related stuff

This CL removes CursorAnchorInfoRequest and related stuff
in favor of InputConnection.requestUpdateCursorAnchorInfo,
which is more easy to understand. This CL also deprecates
InputMethodManager#updateCursor and related stuff.

Rationale:
1. The spec of #updateCursor says that it provides the cursor
position in local coordinates, while the input method
requires it in the screen coordinates.
2. #updateCursor has never been enabled in AOSP, because
InputMethodManager#isWatchingCursor always returned false.
3. There has been no way to let
InputMethodManager#isWatchingCursor return true.
4. In L, InputMethodManager#updateCursorAnchorInfo is
introduced to address all the issues above.

Given that we no longer need to support #updateCursor,
CursorAnchorInfoRequest is overkill when we need to convey
just a couple of parameters.

This CL adds an initial support of
CursorAnchorInfoRequest#FLAG_CURSOR_ANCHOR_INFO_IMMEDIATE for
TextView.

This implementation is not highly optimized yet, but it just
works as it should.

0023d0e0c4f5339b299d1eacbd4e7181c2fd271f 10-Jul-2014 Yohei Yukawa <yukawa@google.com> Polish new IME API for L part 2: CursorAnchorInfo

This CL addresses feedbacks from internal customers for new
input method APIs that are mainly used for physical keyboard
support in L.

For performance reasons, #onUpdateCursorAnchorInfo is not called
back by default and each input method has to enable this
event notification explicitly whenever fine-grained character
locations are needed.

In L-preview, InputMethodSession#setCursorAnchorMonitorMode was
introduced for this purpose. However, we got several feedbacks
to be addressed.
- The effect of #setCursorAnchorMonitorMode is not preserved
during focus change. IMEs need to call
#setCursorAnchorMonitorMode every time when #onStartInput is
called. This is tricky and hard to understand.
- As #onUpdateCursorAnchorInfo is a new API, not all
applications/text editors have supported it. Therefore IMEs
can't always rely on it. However, there is no way to query
if the attached target is supporting this new API or not.
It would helpful for IME authors if we can provide a
reliable way to query if the attached input target is
supporting the new API or not.

In order to address these issues, the triggering method has
moved from InputMethodSession to InputConnection in this CL,
as an analogy of existing InputConnection#getExtractedText API,
which has provided similar functionality including optional
reactive event callbacks from the application to the IME.

Previously, only the text update event in composing mode
is used to update the IME rotation order. This may look strange
to a user especially when the character is input without
composition.

With this CL, to cover above cased, sending a key event is also
used as a trigger to update update the rotation order.

Note that the cost of calling IMM#notifyUserAction multiple times
is now cheap enough because of the optimization made in
I19ad8542659bc092b92ee13e.

This CL does not change existing behavior but only renames
notifyTextCommitted with notifyUserAction so that we can use
not only text commit but also other actions such as just typing
a character will be used as a trigger to update the IME
rotation order for better IME switching experience.

This does not change anything in the practice since the only
time where timing of the endBatchEdit() call matters is when
sendCurrentText is a no-op. Still, it's theoretically correct
to do it in this order.
This concludes a four-step refactoring moving where the
editor calls updateSelection to warn the IME of a cursor move.

As said in https://android-git.corp.google.com/g/#/c/155992
finishComposingText is indeed too broad of a method.

Introducing a new dedicated method to warn the InputConnection.

Should solve the problems with a negative counter value.

This change makes it much easier to make sense of the messages that
get posted to the ViewRootImpl's handler by encapsulating their point
of dispatch within the ViewRootImpl itself.

As part of this change, the View.AttachInfo now carries a reference
to the ViewRootImpl itself, which simplifies some code that used
to try to find the ViewRootImpl by getting the root view's parent.

In principle, it might have been nice to hide the ViewRootImpl from
the View hierarchy but in practice the two were coupled in many ways.

6b53e8daa69cba1a2a5a7c95a01e37ce9c53226c 11-Nov-2010 Jeff Brown <jeffbrown@google.com> Added support for full PC-style keyboards.

BREAKING CHANGE: Redesigned the key character map format to
accomodate full keyboards with more comprehensive suite of modifiers.
Old key character maps will not work anymore and must be updated.
The new format is plain text only and it not compiled to a binary
file (so the "kcm" tool will be removed in a subsequent check-in).

Added FULL keyboard type to support full PC-style keyboards.

Added SPECIAL_FUNCTION keyboard type to support special function
keypads that do not have any printable keys suitable for typing
and only have keys like HOME and POWER

Added a special VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD device id convention that maps
to a virtual keyboard with a fixed known layout. This is designed
to work around issues injecting input events on devices whose
built-in keyboard does not have a useful key character map (ie.
when the built-in keyboard is a special function keyboard only.)

Modified several places where events were being synthesized
to use the virtual keyboard.

Removed support for the "qwerty" default layout.
The new default layout is "Generic". For the most part "qwerty"
was being used as a backstop in case the built-in keyboard did
not have a key character map (probably because it was a special
function keypad) and the framework needed to be able to inject
key events anyways. The latter issue is resolved by using the
special VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD device instead of BUILT_IN_KEYBOARD.

Added the concept of a key modifier behavior so that
MetaKeyKeyListener can distinguish between keyboards that use
chorded vs. toggled modifiers.

Wrote more robust key layout and key character map parsers
to enable support for new keyboard features and user installable
key maps.

Fixed a bug in InputReader generating key ups when keys
are released out of sequence.

Updated tons of documentation.

Currently QwertyKeyListener is being used for full keyboards
with autotext and capitalization disabled. This mostly works
but causes some problems with character pickers, etc.
These issues will be resolved in subsequent changes.

to return the selected text.

setComposingRegion:

The TextView may choose to highlight the text in some way (underline for now) to indicate
that the text is selected for correction, if the IME wants to provider alternatives.

Choosing an alternative in the IME can then call IC.commitText() to replace the highlighted
(not selected) text with a different candidate.

This change also ensures that any existing spans/styles are not wiped out. So we can now
correct rich text as well.

getSelectedText:

This is a convenience to get the selected text instead of using extracted text that is
more heavy weight. Existing getTextBeforeCursor() and getTextAfterCursor() fail to
retrieve the selected text, only what's before and after the selection.
