* To be on par with Apple TV support, this makes it possible to run React Native apps on Android TV devices (See also: https://react-native.canny.io/feature-requests/p/android-tv-support)
* These changes also make it possible to navigate through the app using D-PAD buttons that are present on some mobile devices
* Since these changes affect, among others, `ReactRootView.java` and `Touchable.js` code and are closely related to Apple TV implementation, it makes sense for them to be included in the core
- React native apps can be launched on Android TV devices and properly render their content
- Navigation is possible using left, right, top, bottom arrows from the remote (or D-PAD)
- Touchable components can handle D-PAD center button press events and correctly fire their `onPress` handlers
- Touchable components will receive `onPressIn` and `onPressOut` events and can react to focus/blur changes appropriately (just like on Apple TV)
- `Platform` constants allow to check if the react-native app is running on TV (`Platform.isTV`)
- `ScrollView`s behave correctly (same as native implementation) when switching to view outside bounds – that is, the container would scroll such that the newly focused element is fully visible
- Native "clicking" sounds are played when moving between focusable elements
- Play/Pause click event is send to `TVEventHandler`
- Rewind and FastForward events are send to `TVEventHandler`
- Back button behaves as a normal Android back button
- Diagonal buttons work correctly on Android TV, e.g. if there is no button directly to the right from the focused one, but there is one to the right but a bit higher/lower it will grab focus
- Dev menu can be accessed by long pressing fast forward button
A demo showing RNTester app running on Android TV device (Amazon Fire TV Stick) can be found here:

- `TextInput` will not work on Android TV devices. There's an issue with native `ReactEditText` implementation that prevents it from receiving focus. This makes it impossible to navigate to `TextInput`.
This will be fixed next, but will be included in a separate Pull Request
- ~Overlay permissions cannot be granted on Android TV devices running Android version >= 6.0
This is because the overlay permission can only be granted by firing an Intent to open settings page (`ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION`). Since this page does not exist on TV devices the permission cannot be requested. This will make the app crash when trying to open dev menu (⌘+M) or displaying a redbox error.
Note: This does not affect devices running Android version < 6.0 (for example Amazon Fire TV Stick)~
This is now fixed by: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/16596
* Launch the RNTester app on Android TV device.
* Ensure it launches without a crash
* Ensure basic navigation is possible
* Ensure Touchable components can receive select events
* Ensure the changes do not break current Android and iOS mobile devices functionality.
* Ensure the changes do not break current Apple TV functionality.
[RNAndroidTVDemo video](http://img.youtube.com/vi/EzIQErHhY20/0.jpg)
* Added `ReactAndroidTVViewManager` that handles TV `KeyEvent`s and dispatches events to JS - This is the core that enables basic navigation functionality on Android TV devices
* Following the above change we copy `TVEventHandler.ios.js` into `TVEventHandler.android.js` to enable JS to pick up those native navigation events and dispatch them further to subscribed views. (Note: We do not have a native `TVNavigationEventEmitter` implementation on Android, thus this file is slightly modified, e.g. it does pass `null` to `NativeEventEmitter` constructor)
* Added `uiMode` to `AndroidInfoModule`. (**Note**: This required changing `extends BaseJavaModule` to `extends ReactContextBaseJavaModule` to be able to use `getSystemService` which requires `Context` instance!
* Added `isTV` constants to both `Platform.ios.js` (keeping the deprecated `isTVOS` as well) and `Platform.android.js`
* Changed condition check on `Touchable.js` to use the newly added `isTV` flag to properly handle TV navigation events on Android as well
* Added `LEANBACK_LAUNCHER` to `RNTester` `intent-filter` so that it is possible to launch it on Android TV devices.
* See also a PR to `react-native-website` repo with updated docs for Android TV: https://github.com/facebook/react-native-website/pull/59
- [ ] Fix `TextInput` components handling by allowing them to be focused and making a proper navigation between them (and/or other components) possible. One thing to note here that the default behavior to immediately open software keyboard when focused on `TextInput` field will need to be adjusted on Android TV as well)
- [x] Fix overlay permissions issue by changing the way redbox/dev menu are displayed (see: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/16596)
- [ ] Adjust placement of TV-related files (e.g. the `TVEventHandler.js` file is placed inside `AppleTV` directory which is not accurate, since it does handle Android TV events as well)

**Motivation**
Give `TouchableOpacity` and `Button` the same TV focus support as is already present in `TouchableHighlight`.
**Test plan**
Manual testing on TV simulator and devices.

Summary:
As a new user it took me a while to figure out you can import these examples directly. The import statement completes the example for new users like me who have no idea these components can be imported. It is a very important piece of information and it is hard to find otherwise.
I think this should be added to all the other component examples as well.
Documentation only.

Thanks for submitting a PR! Please read these instructions carefully:
- [x] Explain the **motivation** for making this change.
- [x] Provide a **test plan** demonstrating that the code is solid.
- [x] Match the **code formatting** of the rest of the codebase.
- [x] Target the `master` branch, NOT a "stable" branch.
What existing problem does the pull request solve?
* Combined repeating `if` checks for clearer logic.
* `defaultBlue` is inlined because it is only used once for each OS.
- Updated the `Button.js` file in an existing project and all buttons behave exactly the same. Here is a simple demo:
- There is no change in the underlying logic of the code.

Summary:
Explain the **motivation** for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve?
I had tried fixing a broken link in a previous commit (#11453). My commit was merged, but it did not resolve the underlying problem. I have looked into how links should be formed for the docs and have fixed the original problem as well as updated all other links to be consistent.
Previous link formats:
- /docs/sample.html <-- broken link
- sample.html <-- broken link
- https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/sample.html <-- works
- /react-native/docs/sample.html <-- works
- docs/sample.html <-- works (permalink format)
This PR updates all links to the permalink format.
**Test plan (required)**
I ran the website locally and manually tested half of the links in each category. They all worked.
```
$ cd website
$ npm install && npm start
```

Summary:
Button is an important component to help the community get onboarded with RN quickly, so the first few minutes of a developer's experience is not spent formatting a simple button component.
In my opinion, `<Button />` should be seen as a "lowest common demoniator" component, rather than "the one button to rule them all". In other words, we should only support features in Button that will work on any platform. We should encourage people to fork Button if they need to add specific features to it, rather than trying to twist and bloat this component until it supports everything.
These platform imitations may not have the perfect constants just yet, but they are good enough to make a user feel at home in the app, without any modification. The community can help tweak the final formatting to make them look just right- PRs are welcome!
