Am I reading this right? This reads like the presence of a UI element holds the unlock state of the phone?

- izacus 4y agoNo, not exactly, but Android is old and gnarly enough that a lot of components don't have a clear Model/View separation you'd expect in modern codebases.
- DonHopkins 4y agoThe good old "Model / View / Confuser" paradigm.
- bongobingo1 4y agoAndroid was invented before MVC?
- moffkalast 4y agoWell it was designed around Java, so definitely before common sense was invented.
- btown 4y agoWell, the UI element’s dismissal is what signals the system that holds unlock state. And the problem was that multiple other systems would automate the dismissal of the current UI element… without checking whether it was the appropriate UI element they expected to be there!
