It’d be nice to have this, to avoid bugs when “dead” components get notified about backlight mode changes. I think there’s also memory leaks without it, we’re using a view as the listener and now there’s a reference to that view just hanging around forever.
Thank you for your in active involvement in the developer community!
This question brings up a good point on the Android SDK. It has not been developed on in some time and is effectively deprecated. Our online documentation does not reflect this and implies this project is still maintained.
