/**
 * This class manages creating, collecting, and uploading a Localytics session. Please see the following guides for information on
 * how to best use this library, sample code, and other useful information:
 * <ul>
 * <li><a href="http://wiki.localytics.com/index.php?title=Developer's_Integration_Guide">Main Developer's Integration Guide</a></li>
 * <li><a href="http://wiki.localytics.com/index.php?title=Android_2_Minute_Integration">Android 2 minute integration Guide</a></li>
 * <li><a href="http://wiki.localytics.com/index.php?title=Android_Integration_Guide">Android Integration Guide</a></li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Permissions required:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link permission#INTERNET}</li> - Necessary to upload data to the webservice.</li>
 * </ul>
 * Permissions recommended:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link permission#ACCESS_WIFI_STATE}</li> - Without this users connecting via Wi-Fi will show up as having a connection
 * type of 'unknown' on the webservice</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * This library will create a database called "com.android.localytics.sqlite" within the host application's
 * {@link Context#getDatabasePath(String)} directory. For security, this file directory will be created
 * {@link Context#MODE_PRIVATE}. The host application must not modify this database file. If the host application implements a
 * backup/restore mechanism, such as {@code android.app.backup.BackupManager}, the host application should not worry about backing
 * up the data in the Localytics database.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This library is thread-safe but is not multi-process safe. Unless the application explicitly uses different process attributes
 * in the Android Manifest, this is not an issue.
 * </p>
 * <strong>Best Practices</strong>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Instantiate and open a {@link MMSession} object in {@code Activity#onCreate(Bundle)}. This will cause every new
 * Activity displayed to reconnect to any running session.</li>
 * <li>Consider also performing {@link #upload()} in {@code Activity#onCreate(Bundle)}. This makes it more likely for the upload
 * to complete before the Activity is finished, and also causes the upload to start before the user has a chance to begin any data
 * intensive actions of his own.</li>
 * <li>Close the session in {@code Activity#onPause()}. Based on the Activity lifecycle documentation, this is the last
 * terminating method which is guaranteed to be called. The final call to {@link #close()} is the only one considered, so don't
 * worry about Activity re-entrance.</li>
 * <li>Do not call any {@link MMSession} methods inside a loop. Instead, calls such as {@link #tagEvent(String)} should
 * follow user actions. This limits the amount of data which is stored and uploaded.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * This class is thread-safe.
 *
 * @version 2.0

    /*
     * DESIGN NOTES
     *
     * The MMSession stores all of its state as a SQLite database in the parent application's private database storage
     * directory.
     *
     * Every action performed within (open, close, opt-in, opt-out, customer events) are all treated as events by the library.
     * Events are given a package prefix to ensure a namespace without collisions. Events internal to the library are flagged with
     * the Localytics package name, while events from the customer's code are flagged with the customer's package name. There's no
     * need to worry about the customer changing the package name and disrupting the naming convention, as changing the package
     * name means that a new user is created in Android and the app with a new package name gets its own storage directory.
     *
     *
     * MULTI-THREADING
     *
     * The MMSession stores all of its state as a SQLite database in the parent application's private database storage
     * directory. Disk access is slow and can block the UI in Android, so the MMSession object is a wrapper around a pair
     * of Handler objects, with each Handler object running on its own separate thread.
     *
     * All requests made of the MMSession are passed along to the mSessionHandler object, which does most of the work. The
     * mSessionHandler will pass off upload requests to the mUploadHandler, to prevent the mSessionHandler from being blocked by
     * network traffic.
     *
     * If an upload request is made, the mSessionHandler will set a flag that an upload is in progress (this flag is important for
     * thread-safety of the session data stored on disk). Then the upload request is passed to the mUploadHandler's queue. If a
     * second upload request is made while the first one is underway, the mSessionHandler notifies the mUploadHandler, which will
     * notify the mSessionHandler to retry that upload request when the first upload is completed.
     *
     * Although each MMSession object will have its own unique instance of mSessionHandler, thread-safety is handled by
     * using a single sSessionHandlerThread.
