This was removed in cc5802b when it should have
been converted to the new setting instead,
and it seems like I didn't notice when reviewing it.
I'm changing the DirectoryInitialization logic a little
so that clearWiimoteNewIniLinkedPreferences also is called
when there was no WiimoteNew.ini previously, in case the
user deleted WiimoteNew.ini but not Dolphin.ini.
We generally have no reason to call these functions on our own, so
there's not much reason to declare them, especially not in the cpp
file where they're defined. In case we ever do get a reason to do
it, we can add declarations for just the functions that need them.
In case someone wants to be very careful with how much bandwidth
they use or with what data GameTDB.com collects on you.
This is already an option in DolphinQt (though in DolphinQt it
will switch entirely from using covers to banners when turned off).
It would be difficult to use the AlertMessage class for
messages that need to be showed outside of emulation,
but showing them as toasts is better than not showing them.
During emulation, when LocalGame has a value but CurrentRun
doesn't, we want to read from LocalGame, not CurrentRun. This
change exposes a LAYER_ACTIVE option that handles this correctly.
This is part of my efforts to add support for scoped storage.
I figured I would start with a relatively simple feature to
make sure that everyone is fine with the approach I'm taking
before I tackle more complicated features like the game list.
The main activity loads settings essentially as soon as it
starts, in order to determine which tab to show. If the process
of stopping emulation has not finished at this point, a race
condition may be triggered where two IOS kernels are created
at once due to the emulation thread loading or saving the
SYSCONF while the GUI thread is loading the SYSCONF. To fix
this, we can wait for emulation to fully end before returning.
Because this race condition is hard to reproduce, I have not
been able to test that this actually fixes the race condition,
or even that the cause of the race condition is exactly what I
believe it is. But I am relatively confident.
The only place where initTouchPointer was called automatically
was Host_RequestRenderWindowSize, which is called at least once
after emulation start, but not after activity recreation.
I was hoping we would be able to pull in the default values
from C++, but it seems like more trouble than it's worth,
partially because of different settings having default values
of different types and partially because we don't have any
convenient way to get a list of all C++ settings.
Except controller settings, because those would be annoying
to fit into the same system, and I only need the non-controller
settings to be brought over for the next commits to work.
...instead of waiting for it after launching EmulationActivity.
We need this because there is code that runs very early in
EmulationActivity that accesses the settings.
Android TV devices aren't the only devices without touchscreens.
Regarding MotionAlertDialog, I could've replaced the leanback
check with a touchscreen check instead of just removing it,
but I thought there was no reason to prevent people with
touchscreens from doing a long back press if they want to.
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12029
We currently have one way of opening the menu on touch screen
devices (swiping down from the top of the screen to bring up the
action bar and selecting the menu in the action bar), and another
way of opening the menu on Android TV (pressing Back). However,
some devices that claim to support touch (or don't support
leanback? Dolphin currently conflates the two) don't actually let
you swipe down from the top of the screen in the way that Dolphin
expects, notably Chromebooks. There are also some phones where you
can swipe down from the top of the screen but this for some reason
doesn't lead to the action bar becoming visible, though we are
getting less reports about this nowadays than in the past.
This change makes us use the Back method on all devices,
since it should work on all devices with no significant drawbacks.
Unfortunately, we not only have two different ways of triggering
the menu but actually two entirely different menus, with the
non-touch menu not implementing options that only are revelant
when using a touch screen. A later commit will add the missing
features to the menu that we now use on all devices.
The reason why the finish() call was added no longer exists.
(Also, there was never a duplicate SettingsActivity as far as
I can tell, only a duplicate SettingsFragment.)
