ViewManager Class

The ViewManager holds the list of opened views, plus the selected view. It also provides notifications of view open/close and suspend/resume. Applications must call addViewport when new Viewports that should be associated with user events are created.

A single ViewManager is created when startup is called. It can be accessed via the static member viewManager.

The ViewManager controls the render loop, which causes the contents of each registered Viewport to update on the screen.
