SpeechRecognizer should be used only from the application's main thread on GVRScript about gearvrf

[JonShemitz]

If you pass your GVRActivity to the script’s constructor, you can call Activity methods like runOnUiThread() from your script.

Subject: [GearVRf] SpeechRecognizer should be used only from the application's main thread on GVRScript (#69)

It is possible to run on a class that extends from GVRScript, some code that going to run on main Thread ?
I'm trying to run this code:
"SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(gvrContext.getContext());"
this is the error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: SpeechRecognizer should be used only from the application's main thread

Ok it works !!!
You have any idea how to do that if i need to call this code:
"SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(gvrContext.getContext());"
inside a class that extends from GVRSceneObject ?
without pass GVRActivity as parameter (avoiding to have instance of GVRActivity inside GVRSceneObject)
something like gvrContext.runOnGlThread but for MainThread

We're having a slow-motion internal discussion about exposing the GVRActivity via GVRContext. One of the changes I made very early on was changing GVRContext.getContext() to return the ApplicationContext, not the Activity. This was robotic, Android 101 thinking on my part: You don't hold onto an Activity because that can be a huge memory leak. But GVRF has turned out to be very single-Activity, and we'll probably

1. Let GVRContext.getContext() return the GVRActivity, as a Context.
2. Add a new GVRActivity GVRContext.getActivity() that will give you access to all the Activity methods.
