API 33 (introduced in #5222) deprecated onBackPressed: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#onBackPressed().

#5402 helped reveal which activities need updating:

  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/administratorcontrols/AdministratorControlsActivity
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/administratorcontrols/appversion/AppVersionActivity
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/administratorcontrols/learneranalytics/ProfileAndDeviceIdActivity
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/devoptions/markchapterscompleted/MarkChaptersCompletedActivity
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/devoptions/markstoriescompleted/MarkStoriesCompletedActivity
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/devoptions/marktopicscompleted/MarkTopicsCompletedActivity
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/options/ReadingTextSizeActivityPresenter
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/player/exploration/ExplorationActivityPresenter
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/resumelesson/ResumeLessonActivityPresenter
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/settings/profile/ProfileEditActivity
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/settings/profile/ProfileEditActivityPresenter
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/topic/questionplayer/QuestionPlayerActivityPresenter
  • app/src/main/java/org/oppia/android/app/walkthrough/end/WalkthroughFinalFragmentPresenter

Describe the solution you'd like

As mentioned in https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#onBackPressed(), the solution here seems to be to:

  • No longer override onBackPressed directly.
  • To use AndroidX (via androidx.activity.ComponentActivity#getOnBackPressedDispatcher()) to register a backward-compatible back pressed handler.
  • Migrate existing onBackPressed calls to the new dispatcher.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only alternative is not using AndroidX, but this isn't compatible with Oppia Android since the new deprecation started in SDK 33 (and the app's min supported SDK in 21).

Additional context

Folks who work on this issue should ensure that back navigation behavior continues to work on changed activities & fragments, specifically:

  • Using the back arrow or x button in the toolbar (if present) correctly navigates back to the previous activity.
  • Using the system back button correctly navigates to the previous activity.
  • If there's any special handling in the changed activity/fragment for tablets, navigation and split fragment displays should be verified on a tablet version of Android.

NB: The first work on this issue will require updating AndroidX core to a newer version.

## Explanation
Fixes part of #4120
Fixes part of #1051

Similar to #5400, this brings forward changes that would otherwise go in
#4937 to simplify the transition to Kotlin 1.6.

Part of #4937 is introducing warnings-as-errors for both Kotlin and Java
in order to reduce developer error, simplify the codebase, and minimize
warnings when building (which can result in developer habits of ignoring
warnings that might have real consequences to end users of the app). In
order to keep the main migration PR smaller, this PR fixes all existing
warnings and any new ones detected with the Kotlin 1.6 compiler that are
not tied to Kotlin 1.5/1.6 API changes (those are part of #4937,
instead). Fortunately, most of the changes could be brought forward into
this PR.

Specific things to note:
- A few new issues were filed for SDK 33 deprecations caused, but not
noted by, #5222): #5404, #5405, and #5406 and corresponding TODOs added.
This PR opts for TODOs over actual fixes to minimize the amount of
manual verification needed, and to try and keep the PR more focused on
non-functional refactor changes (to reduce the risk as reverting this PR
may be difficult if an issue is introduced).
- A lot of the fixes were removing redundant casts or null checks.
- The old mechanism we used for view models is deprecated, and had a lot
of problems (partially documented in #1051). This PR moves the codebase
over to directly injecting view models instead of using the view model
provider (thus getting rid of true Jetpack view models entirely in the
codebase).
- We never used the Jetpack functionality, and we were leaking a lot of
context objects that could theoretically result in memory leaks.
- The migration of view models in this way has already been ongoing in
the codebase; this PR just finishes moving the rest of them over to
remove the deprecated JetPack view model reference.
- Note that this doesn't actually change the scope of the view models,
and in fact they should largely behave as they always have.
- ``ObservableViewModel`` was subsequently updated, and may be something
we could remove in the future now that it's no longer a Jetpack view
model.
- The old view model binding code was removed, along with its test file
exemptions. It's no longer used now that the view models have been
finished being migrated over to direct injection.
- Some of the binding adapters didn't correctly correspond to their
namespaced properties. I _think_ that the databinding compiler was still
hooking them up correctly, but they produced build warnings that have
now been addressed (specifically, 'app' is implied). Some other
properties were using unusual namespaces, so these were replaced with
'app' versions for consistency & correctness.
- Some cases where SAM interfaces could be converted to lambdas were
also addressed (mainly for ``Observer`` callbacks in UI code).
- ``DrawerLayout.setDrawerListener`` was replaced with calls to
``DrawerLayout.addDrawerListener`` since the former [is
deprecated](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/drawerlayout/widget/DrawerLayout#setDrawerListener(androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout.DrawerListener)).
This isn't expected to have a functional difference.
- Some other minor control flow warnings were addressed (such as dead
code paths).
- ``when`` cases were updated to be comprehensive (as this is enforced
starting in newer versions of Kotlin even for non-result based ``when``
statements).
- Some unused variables were removed and/or replaced with ``_`` per
Kotlin convention.
- Some parameter names needed to be updated to match their override
signatures.
- One change in ``ExitSurveyConfirmationDialogFragment`` involved
removing parsing a profile ID. Technically this is a semantic change
since now a crash isn't going to happen if the profile ID is missing or
incorrect, but that seems fine since the fragment doesn't even need a
profile ID to be passed.
- Some of the test activities were updated to bind a ``Runnable``
callback rather than binding to a method (just to avoid passing the
unused ``View`` parameter and to keep things a bit simple binding-wise).
- Some cases were fixed where variables were being shadowed due to
reused names in deeper scopes.
- There were some typing issues going on in tests with custom test
application components. This has been fixed by explicitly declaring the
application component types rather than them being implicit within the
generated Dagger code.
- ``getDrawable`` calls were updated to pass in a ``Theme`` since the
non-theme version is deprecated.
- Some Java property references were updated, too (i.e. using property
syntax instead of Java getters when referencing Java code in Kotlin).
- In some cases, deprecated APIs were suppressed since they're needed
for testing purposes.
- Mockito's ``verifyZeroInteractions`` has been deprecated in favor of
``verifyNoMoreInteractions``, so updates were made in tests accordingly.
- ``ExperimentalCoroutinesApi`` and ``InternalCoroutinesApi`` have been
deprecated in favor of a newer ``OptIn`` method (which can actually be
done via kotlinc arguments, but not in this PR). Thus, they've been
outright removed in cases where not needed, and otherwise migrated to
the ``OptIn`` approach where they do need to be declared.
- In some cases, Kotlin recommends using a ``toSet()`` conversion for
iterable operations when it's more performant, so some of those cases
(where noticed) have been addressed.
- Some unused parameter cases needed to be suppressed for situations
when Robolectric is using reflection to access them.
- In some cases Android Studio would recommend transformation chain
simplifications; these were adopted where obvious.
- There are a few new TODOs added on #3616 as well, to clean up
deprecated references that have been suppressed in this PR.
- ``BundleExtensions`` was updated to implement its own version of the
type-based ``getSerializable`` until such time as ``BundleCompat`` can
be used, instead (per #5405).
- A **lot** of nullability improvements needed to happen throughout the
JSON asset loading process since there was a lot of loose typing
happening there.
- Some Kotlin & OkHttp deprecated API references were also updated to
use their non-deprecated replacements.
- ``NetworkLoggingInterceptorTest`` was majorly reworked to ensure that
the assertions would actually run (``runBlockingTest`` was being used
which is deprecated, and something I try to avoid since it's very
difficult to write tests that use it correctly). My investigations
showed that the assertions weren't being called, so these tests would
never fail. The new versions will always run the assertions or fail
before reaching them, and fortunately the code under test passes the
assertions correctly. Ditto for ``ConsoleLoggerTest``.
- Some parts of ``SurveyProgressController`` were reworked to have
better typing management and to reduce the need for nullability
management.
- Some generic typing trickiness needed to be fixed ahead of the Kotlin
version upgrade in ``UrlImageParser``. See file comments & links in
those comments for more context.
- ``BundleExtensionsTest`` had to be changed since
``getSerializableExtra`` is now deprecated. We also can't update the
test to run SDK 33 since that requires upgrading Robolectric, and
Robolectric can't be upgraded without upgrading other dependencies that
eventually lead to needing to upgrade both Kotlin and Bazel (so it's a
non-starter; this is a workaround until we can actually move to a newer
version of Robolectric).
- There was some minor code-deduplication & cleanup done in
``ClickableAreasImage``.
- Some incorrect comments were removed in tests (to the effect of "using
not-allowed-listed variables should result in a failure."). These seemed
to have been copied from an earlier test, but the later tests weren't
actually verifying that behavior so the comment wasn't correct.
- An unused method was removed from ``ConceptCardRetriever``
(``createWrittenTranslationFromJson``) and some other small
cleanup/consolidation work happened in that class.
- Some stylistic changes were done in ``TopicController`` for JSON
loading to better manage nullable situations, and to try and make the
JSON loading code slightly more Kotlin idiomatic.

Note that overall the PR has relied **heavily** on tooling to detect
warnings to fix, and automated tests to verify that the changes have no
side effects.

Note also that this PR does not actually enable warnings-as-errors; that
will happen in a downstream PR.

## For UI-specific PRs only
N/A -- While this changes UI code, it should change very few UI
behaviors and only failure cases for those it does affect. It's largely
infrastructural-only and falls mainly under refactoring/cleanup work.
