AccessibilityEvent

public final class AccessibilityEvent
extends AccessibilityRecord implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityRecord
     ↳ android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent

This class represents accessibility events that are sent by the system when something notable happens in the user interface. For example, when a Button is clicked, a View is focused, etc.

An accessibility event is fired by an individual view which populates the event with data for its state and requests from its parent to send the event to interested parties. The parent can optionally modify or even block the event based on its broader understanding of the user interface's context.

The main purpose of an accessibility event is to communicate changes in the UI to an AccessibilityService. If needed, the service may then inspect the user interface by examining the View hierarchy through the event's source, as represented by a tree of AccessibilityNodeInfos (snapshot of a View state) which can be used for exploring the window content. Note that the privilege for accessing an event's source, thus the window content, has to be explicitly requested. For more details refer to AccessibilityService. If an accessibility service has not requested to retrieve the window content the event will not contain reference to its source. Note: for events of type TYPE_NOTIFICATION_STATE_CHANGED the source is never available, and Views that set View.isAccessibilityDataSensitive() may not populate all event properties on events sent from higher up in the view hierarchy.

This class represents various semantically different accessibility event types. Each event type has an associated set of related properties. In other words, each event type is characterized via a subset of the properties exposed by this class. For each event type there is a corresponding constant defined in this class. Follows a specification of the event types and their associated properties:

TRANSITION TYPES

Window state changed - represents the event of a change to a section of the user interface that is visually distinct.

The list of windows is available from AccessibilityService.getWindows(). For regions of the user interface that are presented as windows but are controlled by an app's process, use TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED.
Type: TYPE_WINDOWS_CHANGED

MISCELLANEOUS TYPES

Announcement - represents the event of an application requesting a screen reader to make an announcement. Because the event carries no semantic meaning, this event is appropriate only in exceptional situations where additional screen reader output is needed but other types of accessibility services do not need to be aware of the change.
Type: TYPE_ANNOUNCEMENT
Properties:

speechStateChanged Type: TYPE_SPEECH_STATE_CHANGE
Represents a change in the speech state defined by the bit mask of the speech state change types. A change in the speech state occurs when an application wants to signal that it is either speaking or listening for human speech. This event helps avoid conflicts where two applications want to speak or one listens when another speaks. When sending this event, the sender should ensure that the accompanying state change types make sense. For example, the sender should not send SPEECH_STATE_SPEAKING_START and SPEECH_STATE_SPEAKING_END together. Properties:

TYPE_VIEW_SCROLLED

Added in API level 14 
public static final int TYPE_VIEW_SCROLLED

Represents the event of scrolling a view. This event type is generally not sent directly. In the View system, this is sent in View.onScrollChanged(int, int, int, int)

In addition to the source and package name, the event should populate scroll-specific properties like AccessibilityRecord.setScrollDeltaX(int), AccessibilityRecord.setScrollDeltaY(int), AccessibilityRecord.setMaxScrollX(int), and AccessibilityRecord.setMaxScrollY(int).

Services are encouraged to rely on the source to query UI state over AccessibilityEvents properties. For example, to check after a scroll if the bottom of the scrolling UI element has been reached, check if the source node is scrollable and has the AccessibilityNodeInfo.AccessibilityAction.ACTION_SCROLL_BACKWARD action but not the AccessibilityNodeInfo.AccessibilityAction.ACTION_SCROLL_FORWARD action. For scrolling to a target, use TYPE_VIEW_TARGETED_BY_SCROLL.
