/**
 * This activity demonstrates two different ways in which views can be made more secure to
 * touch spoofing attacks by leveraging framework features.
 *
 * The activity presents 3 buttons that obtensibly perform a risky security critical
 * function.  Under ordinary circumstances, the user would never click on these buttons
 * or would at least think long and hard about it.  However, a carefully crafted toast can
 * overlay the contents of the activity in such a way as to make the user believe the buttons
 * are innocuous.  Since the toast cannot receive input, the touches are passed down to the
 * activity potentially yielding an effect other than what the user intended.
 *
 * To simulate the spoofing risk, this activity pops up a specially crafted overlay as
 * a toast layed out so as to cover the buttons and part of the descriptive text.
 * For the purposes of this demonstration, pretend that the overlay was actually popped
 * up by a malicious application published by the International Cabal of Evil Penguins.
 *
 * The 3 buttons are set up as follows:
 *
 * 1. The "unsecured button" does not apply any touch filtering of any kind.
 *    When the toast appears, this button remains clickable as usual which creates an
 *    opportunity for spoofing to occur.
 *
 * 2. The "built-in secured button" leverages the android:filterTouchesWhenObscured view
 *    attribute to ask the framework to filter out touches when the window is obscured.
 *    When the toast appears, the button does not receive the touch and appears to be inoperable.
 *
 * 3. The "custom secured button" adds a touch listener to the button which intercepts the
 *    touch event and checks whether the window is obscured.  If so, it warns the user and
 *    drops the touch event.  This example is intended to demonstrate how a view can
 *    perform its own filtering and provide additional feedback by examining the {@MotionEvent}
 *    flags to determine whether the window is obscured.  Here we use a touch listener but
 *    a custom view subclass could perform the filtering by overriding
 *    {@link View#onFilterTouchEventForSecurity(MotionEvent)}.
 *
 * Refer to the comments on {@View} for more information about view security.
