+     * Android does not provide a consistent mechanism for determining if a MotionEvent is outside
+     * the bounds of a view. It fires ACTION_HOVER_EXIT in two cases:
+     *
+     * <ol>
+     *   <li>If the cursor leaves the bounds of the view
+     *   <li>If the user presses a button
+     * </ol>
+     *
+     * <p>Some OS will fire ACTION_HOVER_EXIT on the frame before the cursor leaves the bounds of
+     * the view, while others will fire it on the frame after the cursor leaves the bounds of the
+     * view, so using bounds is not sufficient. Some OS will include the button state in the
+     * ACTION_HOVER_EXIT event while others will not, so using button state is not sufficient.
+     * Instead, we must wait for both the ACTION_HOVER_EXIT and ACTION_DOWN events to fire, and then
+     * compare their event times to determine if the ACTION_HOVER_EXIT event was triggered by the
+     * cursor leaving the bounds of the view or by a button press. If no ACTION_DOWN event has fired
+     * by the next frame, we know that the cursor has left the bounds of the root view.
+     *
+     * <p>As ACTION_DOWN fires after ACTION_HOVER_EXIT, we need to wait until the next frame to make
+     * this determination. We do this by posting a frame callback to the choreographer and
+     * re-running this method on the next frame should timestamps between the two events not align.
