Apparently it can sometimes miss a touch release, which would prevent
the longpress menu from appearing if the location of the new touch was
too far from the location of the previous touch.
Bug 1673223
It is only used for numeric dates -- spelled-out dates have such a complex
variety of formats that they can only be meaningfully formatted from
locale strings.
In addition, the preference is left null when initializing, on the assumption
that the locale will still specify a more useful numeric format than we can
guess as part of a build-wide configuration.
But if the user has specified a format, the date will be formatted in the
order they asked for, with locale-appropriate punctuation substituted in.
The format strings are newly generated from CLDR. The code is once again
the same as in cupcake: do the natural thing for the locale if the user
has never specified, but follow the checkbox if the user has ever set it.
Use a resource instead of a hardcoded string for the 24-hour format
since it is not exactly the same in every locale.
Make sure the 12-hour format is actually for a 12-hour clock, even in
locales where this is not a normal thing to do. In the cap_ampm version,
do not have it try to capitalize "am" and "pm" if these are non-ASCII
strings, since strftime() doesn't know about Unicode and will mess it up.
Add a comment so that people don't think the YEAR_IN_MILLIS constant is
actually the length of any real year.
Use java.text.DateFormat where possible, since that is already using
the CLDR data for the things it supports. Remove an unused date format
object from DatePickerDialog.
Add a new method for getting the standalone month names from applications,
although @hidden for now because it is an API change.
Pass the standalone month names down to native code in Time so that
tztime's strftime() can use them.
And then the bulk of the change: replace all the names for the months
and the days of the week, and AM and PM, and yesterday, today, and tomorrow,
with strings from CLDR. And replace several of the date format strings
with ones derived from CLDR, but reformatted to use strftime() style
instead of SimpleDateFormat style.
All these resource changes go into new donottranslate-cldr.xml files
and are removed from strings.xml so that they aren't part of the
normal translation process and the translators don't have to bother
with them (and risk messing them up).
TextView was previously following the "relaxed" line breaking
convention and would allow a line break between any two
ideographic characters. Tighten that up and do not allow
line breaks before non-starter characters (sound and iteration
marks and small Hiragana and Katakana).

The hardware keyboard doesn't have all the accents needed for
Czech and Polish, so round out the selection.
