ExploreByTouchHelper is a utility class for implementing accessibility support in custom Views that represent a collection of View-like logical items. It extends AccessibilityNodeProvider and simplifies many aspects of providing information to accessibility services and managing accessibility focus. This class does not currently support hierarchies of logical items.

This should be applied to the parent view using View.setAccessibilityDelegate:

mAccessHelper = ExploreByTouchHelper.create(someView, mAccessHelperCallback);
ViewCompat.setAccessibilityDelegate(someView, mAccessHelper);
