AccessibilityWindowInfo

---

Kotlin |Java

public final class AccessibilityWindowInfo
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
↳	android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityWindowInfo

---

This class represents a state snapshot of a window for accessibility purposes. The screen content contains one or more windows where some windows can be descendants of other windows, which is the windows are hierarchically ordered. Note that there is no root window. Hence, the screen content can be seen as a collection of window trees.

Constants

TYPE_ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAY

Added in API level 22

public static final int TYPE_ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAY

Window type: Windows that are overlaid only by an AccessibilityService for interception of user interactions without changing the windows an accessibility service can introspect. In particular, an accessibility service can introspect only windows that a sighted user can interact with which they can touch these windows or can type into these windows. For example, if there is a full screen accessibility overlay that is touchable, the windows below it will be introspectable by an accessibility service regardless they are covered by a touchable window.

Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)

TYPE_APPLICATION

public static final int TYPE_APPLICATION

Window type: This is an application window. Such a window shows UI for interacting with an application.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 21

public static final Creator<AccessibilityWindowInfo> CREATOR

Public constructors

AccessibilityWindowInfo

Added in API level 30

public AccessibilityWindowInfo ()

Creates a new AccessibilityWindowInfo.

AccessibilityWindowInfo

Added in API level 30

public AccessibilityWindowInfo (AccessibilityWindowInfo info)

Copy constructor. Creates a new AccessibilityWindowInfo, and this new instance is initialized from given info.

Parameters
info	AccessibilityWindowInfo: The other info. This value cannot be null.

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 21

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int	a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

equals

Added in API level 21

public boolean equals (Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

• It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
• It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
• It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
• It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
• For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
obj	Object: This value may be null.

Returns
boolean	true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

Returns
int	The type.

See also:

• TYPE_APPLICATION
• TYPE_INPUT_METHOD
• TYPE_SYSTEM
• TYPE_ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAY

hashCode

Added in API level 21

public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

• Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
• If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
• It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

Returns
int	a hash code value for this object.

isAccessibilityFocused

Added in API level 21

public boolean isAccessibilityFocused ()

Gets if this window has accessibility focus.

Returns
boolean	Whether has accessibility focus.

isActive

Added in API level 21

public boolean isActive ()

Gets if this window is active. An active window is the one the user is currently touching or the window has input focus and the user is not touching any window.

This is defined as the window that most recently fired one of the following events: AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED, AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_HOVER_ENTER, AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_HOVER_EXIT. In other words, the last window shown that also has input focus.

Returns
boolean	Whether this is the active window.

isFocused

Added in API level 21

public boolean isFocused ()

Gets if this window has input focus.

Returns
boolean	Whether has input focus.

isInPictureInPictureMode

Added in API level 26

public boolean isInPictureInPictureMode ()

Check if the window is in picture-in-picture mode.

Returns
boolean	true if the window is in picture-in-picture mode, false otherwise.

obtain

Added in API level 21

public static AccessibilityWindowInfo obtain ()

Returns a cached instance if such is available or a new one is created.

In most situations object pooling is not beneficial. Create a new instance using the constructor AccessibilityWindowInfo() instead.

Returns
AccessibilityWindowInfo	An instance.

obtain

Added in API level 21

public static AccessibilityWindowInfo obtain (AccessibilityWindowInfo info)

Returns a cached instance if such is available or a new one is created. The returned instance is initialized from the given info.

Parameters
info	AccessibilityWindowInfo: The other info.

Returns
AccessibilityWindowInfo	An instance.

recycle

Added in API level 21

public void recycle ()

Return an instance back to be reused.

In most situations object pooling is not beneficial, and recycling is not necessary.

Throws
IllegalStateException	If the info is already recycled.

toString

Added in API level 21

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
String	a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 21

public void writeToParcel (Parcel parcel, 
                int flags)
