DO NOT MERGE Fix android:noHistory for Wear
Modifies swipe-to-close activities to be opaque by default (instead
of translucent by default). Previously, android:noHistory properties
on most activities in Wear were being ignored because they were
usually transitioning to a swipe-to-close activity that was marked
as translucent. This meant that the noHistory activity was still
technically visible, and so would never be culled from the task
history.
Now, we convert a swiped activity to translucent as soon as a swipe
begins, and convert it back after the swipe finishes. The previous
version of SDL tries to do this, but fails in the case where the
context is a ContextWrapper.
This approach is hacky and isn't merge-able into master. We leave
it DO NOT MERGE and will do a long-term fix after the holidays.
Test: Built a test app to verify that noHistory is now being
correctly respected. Manually verified that new activities start
out opaque and not translucent. Manually verified that Home
correctly starts/stops when it's revealed from underneath a
partially swiped activity. Tested general swipe behavior on Settings,
Contacts, Flashlight, Fit.
