Receiver is created and installed by a non-UI thread sometimes so can't
create the Handler there. onReceive() is called on an ok thread however
so create it there on demand. Fixes crash that showed when receiving
relay messages in background.
Fire up the receiver thread, and start the service, on receipt of this
ACTION (if they're not already running.) On start, the service takes
over the thread and begins dispatching messages. Works to launch the app
when it's not running and in most cases, though messages received before
the service launches are currently dropped, things seem to work.
reset timer on receiving meaningful data and on moving app to
background. If it fires and we're in background, kill the service.
(There's currently no way to restart it except bringing the app into the
foreground. Fixing that's coming.)
Moving toward a better BT invite experience: use BTService to scan for
ourselves on all paired devices, and only allow selecting from among
those on which we're running (and so likely to respond to an
invitation.)
It's a pain to have to change code to run in Genymotion, and to have
upgrade not testable using Genymotion. Consider verting this change
before next release.
Oreo's creating a new service instance for every single intent passed to
enqueueWork, meaning a brand new set of threads with a new queue, empty
set of messages to be retried, etc. was created every time, and all
attempts to optimize and retry were broken. So: make the threads a
static singleton that are given a Service instance from onCreate() and
told to drop it from onDestroy(). The threads proceed until they need an
instance, then block until one's available. Seems to work on Oreo and an
older Android as well.
Apparently one of the newer Android SDK levels adds the requirement to
have RECEIVE_SMS permission in order for a broadcast receiver to get
called. Meaning receipt didn't work even if SEND_SMS had been
granted. Since they're both in the same group (for now) the OS will
grant the second silently if the first has been granted, but it still
has to be requested. So request both at the same time. This still leaves
the problem that a user who's never tried to create an SMS game won't
have been asked for either permission and so won't receive SMS
invitations, but fixing that is for a later release.
Other code will take care of duplicates. This was meant to avoid a race
condition, for which 5 seconds is enough. Blocking forever complicates
testing.
