Introduce WindowProviderService
A Window Provider Service is a Window-Context-like Service which handles UI components and is able to obtain the latest configuration. The differences between a Window Context and a Window Provider Service is that: 1. It is always associated with the primary display before attachWindowToken() or WM#addView is called. It is suggested to render UI components after calling the APIs mentioned above. 2. A window context registers the listener in constructor and unregisters it in finalize(), while a window provider service registers the listener in onCreate() and unregisters in onDestroy(). 3. Like the API Context#createWindowContext(int windowType, Bundle options), the users of a Window Provider Service need to override provideWindowType and provideOptions to pass the attributes. 4. When there's a configuration updates from the server side, the Service#onConfigurationChanged callback will be invoked.(TBD) It is suggested to use window context when possible. This class is to migrate the Service to show UI components to the window context concept. We can't migrate them to WindowContext directly because developers are used to use this kind of Service as the container of UI components and may change its property at runtime. An example is that keyboard developers may apply a new theme by InputMethodService#getResources#setTheme(newTheme).
