Avoid static initialization of Layout from TextUtils
This works around a bug in standalone (e.g. non-Zygote) runtimes when a device is attached to a host that is running DDM. There is a race condition: When the runtime receives a HELLO from DDM it calls TextUtils.isEmpty(). Calling any TextUtils methods statically initializes Layout. Layout has dependencies on other classes, which in turn have dependencies on native methods that are not always registered when the call takes place. Registration and DDM handling are done in separate threads. This is not a fix, merely a workaround until the race can be resolved. Bug: 18081539 (cherry-picked from commit d29bdb26) Change-Id: Id0d8578eab9e59d479a7c1b2e7ea1890ac0c8de6
