AccessibilityButtonController

class AccessibilityButtonController
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityButtonController

Controller for the accessibility button within the system's navigation area

This class may be used to query the accessibility button's state and register callbacks for interactions with and state changes to the accessibility button when AccessibilityServiceInfo.FLAG_REQUEST_ACCESSIBILITY_BUTTON is set.

Note: This class and AccessibilityServiceInfo.FLAG_REQUEST_ACCESSIBILITY_BUTTON should not be used as the sole means for offering functionality to users via an AccessibilityService. Some device implementations may choose not to provide a software-rendered system navigation area, making this affordance permanently unavailable.

Note: On device implementations where the accessibility button is supported, it may not be available at all times, such as when a foreground application uses android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION. A user may also choose to assign this button to another accessibility service or feature. In each of these cases, a registered AccessibilityButtonCallback's AccessibilityButtonCallback.onAvailabilityChanged(AccessibilityButtonController, boolean) method will be invoked to provide notifications of changes in the accessibility button's availability to the registering service.
