* To be on par with Apple TV support, this makes it possible to run React Native apps on Android TV devices (See also: https://react-native.canny.io/feature-requests/p/android-tv-support)
* These changes also make it possible to navigate through the app using D-PAD buttons that are present on some mobile devices
* Since these changes affect, among others, `ReactRootView.java` and `Touchable.js` code and are closely related to Apple TV implementation, it makes sense for them to be included in the core
- React native apps can be launched on Android TV devices and properly render their content
- Navigation is possible using left, right, top, bottom arrows from the remote (or D-PAD)
- Touchable components can handle D-PAD center button press events and correctly fire their `onPress` handlers
- Touchable components will receive `onPressIn` and `onPressOut` events and can react to focus/blur changes appropriately (just like on Apple TV)
- `Platform` constants allow to check if the react-native app is running on TV (`Platform.isTV`)
- `ScrollView`s behave correctly (same as native implementation) when switching to view outside bounds – that is, the container would scroll such that the newly focused element is fully visible
- Native "clicking" sounds are played when moving between focusable elements
- Play/Pause click event is send to `TVEventHandler`
- Rewind and FastForward events are send to `TVEventHandler`
- Back button behaves as a normal Android back button
- Diagonal buttons work correctly on Android TV, e.g. if there is no button directly to the right from the focused one, but there is one to the right but a bit higher/lower it will grab focus
- Dev menu can be accessed by long pressing fast forward button
A demo showing RNTester app running on Android TV device (Amazon Fire TV Stick) can be found here:
[](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzIQErHhY20)
- `TextInput` will not work on Android TV devices. There's an issue with native `ReactEditText` implementation that prevents it from receiving focus. This makes it impossible to navigate to `TextInput`.
This will be fixed next, but will be included in a separate Pull Request
- ~Overlay permissions cannot be granted on Android TV devices running Android version >= 6.0
This is because the overlay permission can only be granted by firing an Intent to open settings page (`ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION`). Since this page does not exist on TV devices the permission cannot be requested. This will make the app crash when trying to open dev menu (⌘+M) or displaying a redbox error.
Note: This does not affect devices running Android version < 6.0 (for example Amazon Fire TV Stick)~
This is now fixed by: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/16596
* Launch the RNTester app on Android TV device.
* Ensure it launches without a crash
* Ensure basic navigation is possible
* Ensure Touchable components can receive select events
* Ensure the changes do not break current Android and iOS mobile devices functionality.
* Ensure the changes do not break current Apple TV functionality.
[RNAndroidTVDemo video](http://img.youtube.com/vi/EzIQErHhY20/0.jpg)
* Added `ReactAndroidTVViewManager` that handles TV `KeyEvent`s and dispatches events to JS - This is the core that enables basic navigation functionality on Android TV devices
* Following the above change we copy `TVEventHandler.ios.js` into `TVEventHandler.android.js` to enable JS to pick up those native navigation events and dispatch them further to subscribed views. (Note: We do not have a native `TVNavigationEventEmitter` implementation on Android, thus this file is slightly modified, e.g. it does pass `null` to `NativeEventEmitter` constructor)
* Added `uiMode` to `AndroidInfoModule`. (**Note**: This required changing `extends BaseJavaModule` to `extends ReactContextBaseJavaModule` to be able to use `getSystemService` which requires `Context` instance!
* Added `isTV` constants to both `Platform.ios.js` (keeping the deprecated `isTVOS` as well) and `Platform.android.js`
* Changed condition check on `Touchable.js` to use the newly added `isTV` flag to properly handle TV navigation events on Android as well
* Added `LEANBACK_LAUNCHER` to `RNTester` `intent-filter` so that it is possible to launch it on Android TV devices.
* See also a PR to `react-native-website` repo with updated docs for Android TV: https://github.com/facebook/react-native-website/pull/59
- [ ] Fix `TextInput` components handling by allowing them to be focused and making a proper navigation between them (and/or other components) possible. One thing to note here that the default behavior to immediately open software keyboard when focused on `TextInput` field will need to be adjusted on Android TV as well)
- [x] Fix overlay permissions issue by changing the way redbox/dev menu are displayed (see: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/16596)
- [ ] Adjust placement of TV-related files (e.g. the `TVEventHandler.js` file is placed inside `AppleTV` directory which is not accurate, since it does handle Android TV events as well)

👋 Hello! Thanks for react-native, it’s a great project.
I was digging into the Android implementation in _ReactAndroid_ and noticed a couple typos in the documentation. I went through and tried to fix all the typos I could find using [aspell](http://aspell.net).
Not applicable: these changes are only to comments, and CI should be skipped.

Summary:
The `UIManager` already has a lot of responsibilities and is deeply
tied with React Native's view architecture. This diff separates out a
`DeviceInfo` native module to provide information about screen dimensions and

Summary:
At times, ReactPackage needs to get information from the ReactInstanceManager, e.g. to get the DevSupportManager for debugging purpose. This allows passing down the instance manager to create the native modules, in addition to just ReactApplicationContext. It is then up to the Package to use it or not.
To use this, you must make your package class extends ReactInstancePackage, instead of just implementing ReactPackage interface.

Summary:
Android API 15 still have 1.5~2.0% distribution (refer: [Dashboard - Android Developer](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain.html#creating_the_toolchain)).
React Native is a good tec but many companies cannot endure loose their consumer. [Choreographer](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Choreographer.html) triggered UI operation is the only reason that React Native Android sdk use minSdkVersion 16, so we can use a backward solution **only in API 15**: [Handler](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Handler.html).
In this PR, the biggest change is :
- Make core operation of ReactChoreographer to an interface: ReactUIDriver;
- Impl ReactUIDriver by Handler => UIDriverHandlerImpl, refactor ReactChoreographer to UIDriverChoreographerImpl;
- Let UIDriverFactory to choose which one impl would be in use. (Only use handler in api 15).

Developers are complaining about horrible lag (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/11809) caused by PR https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/11222.
The issue was that hasNewLayout in yoga is actually a dirty bit and indicates that either you OR one of your children has a new layout. We still need to manually check whether the component's layout actually is different from before.

The goal of this PR is to enable the buck module `uimanager` to depend on `modules/core` without introducing any dependency cycles.
PR #11008 relies on this PR. PR #11008 needs `uimanager` to depend on `modules/core` so that `uimanager` can fire events using `RCTDeviceEventEmitter` which is in `modules/core`.
This PR moved a number of classes and interfaces:
- `com.facebook.react.modules.debug.DeveloperSettings` -> `com.facebook.react.modules.debug.interfaces.DeveloperSettings`
- `com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevOptionHandler` -> `com.facebook.react.devsupport.interfaces.DevOptionHandler `
- `com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevSupportManager` -> `com.facebook.react.devsupport.interfaces.DevSupportManager`
- `com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevServerHelper.PackagerStatusCallback` -> `com.facebook.react.devsupport.interfaces.PackagerStatusCallback`
- The class `com.facebook.react.devsupport.StackTraceHelper.StackFrame` was renamed to `StackFram

Summary:
For returnKeyType 'go', 'search' and 'send' Android will call
onEditorAction twice, once with IME_NULL and another time with the respective IME_ACTION.
This change makes sure to only fire one onSubmitEditing by always returning true in onEditorAction, which causes no subsequent events to be fired by android.
Fixes#10443
**Test plan**
1. Create view with TextInput having 'go', 'search' or 'send as `returnKeyType`
```javascript
<View>
<TextInput
returnKeyType='search'
onSubmitEditing={event => console.log('submit search')}></TextInput>
<TextInput
returnKeyType='go'
onSubmitEditing={event => console.log('submit go')}></TextInput>
<TextInput
returnKeyType='send'
onSubmitEditing={event => console.log('submit send')}></TextInput>
</View>
```
2. Input some text and click submit button in soft keyboard
3. See event fired only once instead of two times
