Android REPL - add* syntax-sugar not available in constructor

[teyc <teyc at cognoware dot com>]

I'm starting to have fun with the REPL Helmut provided.

The following works, 

#|kawa:76|# (*activity*:run-on-ui-thread
             (runnable
               (lambda ()
                 ((android.widget.Toast:makeText
                     *activity*
                     "Hello from REPL"
                     android.widget.Toast:LENGTH_LONG):show))

as does the following

#|kawa:78|#
(*activity*:runOnUiThread
  (runnable
     (lambda ()
        (*activity*:setContentView
          (android.widget.TextView *activity* text: "Changed Content")))))

Unfortunately, the REPL running under Android doesn't recognize the
"addView" in the constructor. 

It is not a big problem, but the syntax sugar makes for rather nice way of
laying out the UI without the verbosity in Java. Are are any magic switches
left?

#|kawa:319|# 
(android.widget.LinearLayout *activity*
  orientation: android.widget.LinearLayout:VERTICAL
  view:
   (android.widget.TextView *activity*
      text: "Hello, Android REPL from Kawa Scheme!"))

java.lang.RuntimeException: no such field view in
android.widget.LinearLayout
