public AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat createAccessibilityNodeInfo (int virtualViewId)

The implementer is responsible for obtaining an accessibility node info from the pool of reusable instances and setting the desired properties of the node info before returning it.

Parameters
virtualViewId A client defined virtual view id.
