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. The service may then inspect, if needed the user interface by examining the View hierarchy, 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. Also for events of type TYPE_NOTIFICATION_STATE_CHANGED the source is never available.

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:

Developer Guides

For more information about creating and processing AccessibilityEvents, read the Accessibility developer guide.

VIEW TYPES

View clicked - represents the event of clicking on a View like Button, CompoundButton, etc.
Type:TYPE_VIEW_CLICKED
Properties:

View long clicked - represents the event of long clicking on a View like Button, CompoundButton, etc
Type:TYPE_VIEW_LONG_CLICKED
Properties:

View selected - represents the event of selecting an item usually in the context of an AdapterView.
Type: TYPE_VIEW_SELECTED
Properties:

View focused - represents the event of focusing a View.
Type: TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED
Properties:

View text changed - represents the event of changing the text of an EditText.
Type: TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_CHANGED
Properties:

View text selection changed - represents the event of changing the text selection of an EditText.
Type: TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_SELECTION_CHANGED
Properties:

View text traversed at movement granularity - represents the event of traversing the text of a view at a given granularity. For example, moving to the next word.
Type: TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_TRAVERSED_AT_MOVEMENT_GRANULARITY
Properties:

View scrolled - represents the event of scrolling a view.
Type: TYPE_VIEW_SCROLLED
Properties:

TRANSITION TYPES

Window state changed - represents the event of a change to a section of the user interface that is visually distinct. Should be sent from either the root view of a window or from a view that is marked as a pane View.setAccessibilityPaneTitle(CharSequence). Not that changes to true windows are represented by TYPE_WINDOWS_CHANGED.
Type: TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED
Properties:

Window content changed - represents the event of change in the content of a window. This change can be adding/removing view, changing a view size, etc.

Type: TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED
Properties:

Windows changed - represents a change in the windows shown on the screen such as a window appeared, a window disappeared, a window size changed, a window layer changed, etc. These events should only come from the system, which is responsible for managing windows. 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
Properties:

Note: You can retrieve the AccessibilityWindowInfo for the window source of the event by looking through the list returned by AccessibilityService.getWindows() for the window whose ID matches AccessibilityRecord.getWindowId().

NOTIFICATION TYPES

Notification state changed - represents the event showing a transient piece of information to the user. This information may be a Notification or Toast.
Type: TYPE_NOTIFICATION_STATE_CHANGED
Properties:

EXPLORATION TYPES

View hover enter - represents the event of beginning to hover over a View. The hover may be generated via exploring the screen by touch or via a pointing device.
Type: TYPE_VIEW_HOVER_ENTER
Properties:

View hover exit - represents the event of stopping to hover over a View. The hover may be generated via exploring the screen by touch or via a pointing device.
Type: TYPE_VIEW_HOVER_EXIT
Properties:

Touch interaction start - represents the event of starting a touch interaction, which is the user starts touching the screen.
Type: TYPE_TOUCH_INTERACTION_START
Properties:

Note: This event is fired only by the system and is not passed to the view tree to be populated.

Touch interaction end - represents the event of ending a touch interaction, which is the user stops touching the screen.
Type: TYPE_TOUCH_INTERACTION_END
Properties:

Note: This event is fired only by the system and is not passed to the view tree to be populated.

Touch exploration gesture start - represents the event of starting a touch exploring gesture.
Type: TYPE_TOUCH_EXPLORATION_GESTURE_START
Properties:

Note: This event is fired only by the system and is not passed to the view tree to be populated.

Touch exploration gesture end - represents the event of ending a touch exploring gesture.
Type: TYPE_TOUCH_EXPLORATION_GESTURE_END
Properties:

Note: This event is fired only by the system and is not passed to the view tree to be populated.

Touch gesture detection start - represents the event of starting a user gesture detection.
Type: TYPE_GESTURE_DETECTION_START
Properties:

Note: This event is fired only by the system and is not passed to the view tree to be populated.

Touch gesture detection end - represents the event of ending a user gesture detection.
Type: TYPE_GESTURE_DETECTION_END
Properties:

Note: This event is fired only by the system and is not passed to the view tree to be populated.

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:
