   * Fix for https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=171190 .
   *
   * When a view that has focus gets detached, we wait for the main thread to be idle and then
   * check if the InputMethodManager is leaking a view. If yes, we tell it that the decor view got
   * focus, which is what happens if you press home and come back from recent apps. This replaces
   * the reference to the detached view with a reference to the decor view.
   *
   * Should be called from {@link Activity#onCreate(android.os.Bundle)} )}.
