Add pure-Java gesture typing fallback (SwipeGestureEngine)
HeliBoard's gesture typing infrastructure (touch tracking, trail rendering,
settings UI) has always been present, but word matching requires a native
library — either the proprietary Google libjni_latinimegoogle.so or the
open replacement being developed under the NLnet grant (#2226, #668).
Users without a compatible library get no suggestions at all when swiping.
This commit adds SwipeGestureEngine: a self-contained Java implementation
that makes gesture typing work without any native library.
Algorithm (arc-length resampling + L2 distance):
- At index build time, each dictionary word is converted to a normalized
gesture path: letter key centres are looked up from the live Keyboard
object, deduplicated, then resampled to 16 evenly-spaced (x,y) points.
Words are grouped by first letter for fast lookup.
- At gesture end, the raw InputPointers stroke is resampled the same way.
Candidates are filtered by first/last letter, then ranked by L2 distance
to their precomputed path with a small log-frequency bonus so common words
win ties.
Integration points:
- JniUtils: sHaveGestureLib is set to true unconditionally so the gesture
toggle appears in settings and touch input is routed as batch input.
- Suggest.getSuggestedWordsForBatchInput: builds the index lazily on the
first gesture (background thread) and caches it; clears on dictionary or
layout change. Never calls the JNI stub with SESSION_ID_GESTURE.
- Dictionary hierarchy: getAllWordsWithFrequency() added to Dictionary,
ReadOnlyBinaryDictionary (token-based JNI iteration with probability),
and DictionaryCollection; DictionaryFacilitator/Impl expose it.
Properties:
- Pure Java, no new dependencies, ~270 lines.
- Layout-aware: key positions are read from the live Keyboard object, so
any user layout (QWERTY, Dvorak, custom) works correctly.
- Index is rebuilt automatically on layout or dictionary change.
- Coexists with the native library: if a native library is loaded, it takes
over and this engine is dormant.
This is intentionally a simple baseline — the NLnet native library (#2226)
will eventually supersede it with higher accuracy. Until then this gives
every HeliBoard user working gesture typing out of the box.
