In breaking change flutter/engine#4487, a typo was fixed in our Android
APIs correcting RequestPermissionResult to RequestPermissionsResult
(note the 's' on Permissions) for consistency with the Android SDK.
Various tombstone comments were left to help guide developers in the
right direction. These comments were slated for removal in March of
2018; at over a year later, we can probably safely remove them.
To keep the scope of this CL as small of possible I'm leaving the actual
implementation of the platform view mechanics to a following CL.
This CL introduces:
* A PlatformViewsController class which will be responsible for creating,
resizing, and disposing platform views.
* A PlatformViewRegistry which is exposed through the PluginRegistry
and allows plugins to register factories for platform views.
Android plugin code will add support for a new platform view type by
implementing PlatformViewFactory, and registering a factory with the
registry, e.g:
```java
registrar.platformViewRegistry().registerViewFactory(
'webview',
new FlutterWebViewFactory()
);
```
On the Dart side, the framework will ask the engine to create new
platform views by sending a create message over the platformviews method
channel with the unique platform view type id, dimensions, and a unique
id allocated by the framework for the new platform view instance.
The platformviews method channel is also used for resizing and disposing
platform views.
