AccessibilityNodeInfo

extends Object
implements Parcelable
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityNodeInfo

Class Overview

This class represents a node of the window content as well as actions that can be requested from its source. From the point of view of an AccessibilityService a window content is presented as tree of accessibility node info which may or may not map one-to-one to the view hierarchy. In other words, a custom view is free to report itself as a tree of accessibility node info.

Once an accessibility node info is delivered to an accessibility service it is made immutable and calling a state mutation method generates an error.

Please refer to AccessibilityService for details about how to obtain a handle to window content as a tree of accessibility node info as well as familiarizing with the security model.

Fields

public static final Creator < AccessibilityNodeInfo > CREATOR

Public Methods

public void addAction (int action)

Adds an action that can be performed on the node.

Note: Cannot be called from an AccessibilityService . This class is made immutable before being delivered to an AccessibilityService.

Parameters
action The action.
Throws
IllegalStateException If called from an AccessibilityService.

public void addChild ( View child)

Adds a child.

Note: Cannot be called from an AccessibilityService . This class is made immutable before being delivered to an AccessibilityService.

Parameters
child The child.
Throws
IllegalStateException If called from an AccessibilityService.

public void addChild ( View root, int virtualDescendantId)

Adds a virtual child which is a descendant of the given root . If virtualDescendantId is NO_ID the root is added as a child.

A virtual descendant is an imaginary View that is reported as a part of the view hierarchy for accessibility purposes. This enables custom views that draw complex content to report them selves as a tree of virtual views, thus conveying their logical structure.

Parameters
root The root of the virtual subtree.
virtualDescendantId The id of the virtual child.

public boolean canOpenPopup ()

Gets if this node opens a popup or a dialog.

Returns
  • If the the node opens a popup.

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable's marshalled representation.

Returns
  • a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshalled by the Parcelable.

public boolean equals ( Object object)

Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. In order to be equal, o must represent the same object as this instance using a class-specific comparison. The general contract is that this comparison should be reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. Also, no object reference other than null is equal to null.

The default implementation returns true only if this == o . See Writing a correct equals method if you intend implementing your own equals method.

The general contract for the equals and hashCode() methods is that if equals returns true for any two objects, then hashCode() must return the same value for these objects. This means that subclasses of Object usually override either both methods or neither of them.

Parameters
object the object to compare this instance with.
Returns
  • true if the specified object is equal to this Object ; false otherwise.

public List < AccessibilityNodeInfo > findAccessibilityNodeInfosByText ( String text)

Finds AccessibilityNodeInfo s by text. The match is case insensitive containment. The search is relative to this info i.e. this info is the root of the traversed tree.

Note: It is a client responsibility to recycle the received info by calling recycle() to avoid creating of multiple instances.

Parameters
text The searched text.
Returns
  • A list of node info.

public List < AccessibilityNodeInfo > findAccessibilityNodeInfosByViewId ( String viewId)

Finds AccessibilityNodeInfo s by the fully qualified view id's resource name where a fully qualified id is of the from "package:id/id_resource_name". For example, if the target application's package is "foo.bar" and the id resource name is "baz", the fully qualified resource id is "foo.bar:id/baz".

Note: It is a client responsibility to recycle the received info by calling recycle() to avoid creating of multiple instances.

Note: The primary usage of this API is for UI test automation and in order to report the fully qualified view id if an AccessibilityNodeInfo the client has to set the FLAG_REPORT_VIEW_IDS flag when configuring his AccessibilityService .

Parameters
viewId The fully qualified resource name of the view id to find.
Returns
  • A list of node info.

public AccessibilityNodeInfo findFocus (int focus)

Find the view that has the specified focus type. The search starts from the view represented by this node info.

Parameters
focus The focus to find. One of FOCUS_INPUT or FOCUS_ACCESSIBILITY .
Returns
  • The node info of the focused view or null.

Searches for the nearest view in the specified direction that can take the input focus.

Parameters
direction The direction. Can be one of: FOCUS_DOWN , FOCUS_UP , FOCUS_LEFT , FOCUS_RIGHT , FOCUS_FORWARD , FOCUS_BACKWARD .
Returns
  • The node info for the view that can take accessibility focus.

Gets the node bounds in parent coordinates.

Parameters
outBounds The output node bounds.

public void getBoundsInScreen ( Rect outBounds)

Gets the node bounds in screen coordinates.

Parameters
outBounds The output node bounds.

public AccessibilityNodeInfo getChild (int index)

Get the child at given index.

Note: It is a client responsibility to recycle the received info by calling recycle() to avoid creating of multiple instances.

Returns
  • The content description.

public Bundle getExtras ()

Gets an optional bundle with extra data. The bundle is lazily created and never null .

Note: It is recommended to use the package name of your application as a prefix for the keys to avoid collisions which may confuse an accessibility service if the same key has different meaning when emitted from different applications.

A live region is a node that contains information that is important for the user and when it changes the user should be notified. For example, in a login screen with a TextView that displays an "incorrect password" notification, that view should be marked as a live region with mode ACCESSIBILITY_LIVE_REGION_POLITE .
