9d3b1a424c5c61e24e9659d15fb353026a00d925 02-Jul-2013 Jeff Brown <jeffbrown@google.com> Move input library code to frameworks/native.

No longer compile libandroidfw as a static library on the device
since it already exists as a shared library. Keeping the static
library would force us to provide a static library version of
libinput for the device as well which doesn't make sense.

First step. Move libui includes to their new home: androidfw.

a95e4cb62f3642cb190d032dbf7dc40d9ecc6973 19-Jun-2010 Dianne Hackborn <hackbod@google.com> First stab at attaching native event dispatching.

Provides the basic infrastructure for a
NativeActivity's native code to get an object representing
its event stream that can be used to read input events.

Still work to do, probably some API changes, and reasonable
default key handling (so that for example back will still
work).

46b9ac0ae2162309774a7478cd9d4e578747bfc2 23-Apr-2010 Jeff Brown <jeffbrown@google.com> Native input dispatch rewrite work in progress.

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.
