Multi-window dynamic context support

[cioccarellia]

As specified in the docs:

After {@link Build.VERSION_CODES#R}, {@link Resources} must be obtained by {@link android.app.Activity} or
{@link android.content.Context} created with {@link android.content.Context#createWindowContext(int, Bundle)}. 
{@link Application#getResources()} may report wrong values in multi-window or on secondary displays.

Currently kite does not support sharing and dynamically switching context. Therefore it lacks support for multi-window apps. There should be a manual mode where the context can be explicitly set every time a resource is accessed, and therefore the internal Kite context is not used in those occasions.

Hi.

Great library!

Do you have any solution for this?

A normal app uses multi-window?

Thanks.

Afaik, since apps targeting Android R, Resouces must be called on a Context which references an active window. This is because apps start having different kind of target devices, such as multiple-display phones. This (I believe) changes how resources have to be fetched, depending on how your app is built. In theory, if you do not differentiate between screens and you develop your app without this attention (in context, using application context to initialize kite, pun not intended) , you will work for 1-screen devices but run into hypothetical issues in multi screen devices. This means that you have to switch contexts basing on your usage-site.

This is being worked on, and will be implemented using extension functions to temporarily run fetches in another Context, or to permanently change the current Kite context (which is not possible by default).

Take a peak at KiteContextExtensions.kt. Will be stable soon, I need to write some docs and samples about it. (#3)

Thanks for the great library!

Your repository contains .idea folder.

It is automatically now for multi-window?

Hey @prsolucoes! Yes, effectively 1.1.0 contains all the tools to dynamically switch context, and can be used with milti-window applications. In a couple of hours I'll publish the release :)
