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.

Public Methods

public void addAction (int action)

Since: API Level 14

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)

Since: API Level 14

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)

Since: API Level 16

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 int describeContents ()

Since: API Level 14

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)

Since: API Level 14

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)

Since: API Level 14

Finds AccessibilityNodeInfos 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 AccessibilityNodeInfo findFocus (int focus)

Since: API Level 16

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.
See Also

public AccessibilityNodeInfo focusSearch (int direction)

Since: API Level 16

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.

public int getActions ()

Since: API Level 14
