1. Events not generated by the user can change the interrogation allowing window
unpredicatably. For example when a ListView lays out its children it fires an
accessibility events and changes the currently active window while the user
interaction may be happening in another window say a dialog. Now the interrogation
allowing window is changed when a new window is shown or the user has touch
explored it.

1. The first problem is manifested on Prime. Apparently the Prime screen driver
is very aggresive in filtering move events that origin from almost the same
location. Hence, the framework doesn't see a constant stream of events. However,
the TouchExplorer implementation was assuming a constant event stream to detect
long press. Refactored the code such that no assumptions for the event stream
are made.
2. Touch exploring an item and then tapping far away from that item was activating
it, hence not respecting the distance slop. This was due to incorrect check of
the latter.

1. Upon registration of an accessibility client the latter received only
the accessiiblity state and waiting for the touch exploration state
to be sent by the system in async manner. This led the very first
check of touch exploration state is checked a wrong value to be reported.
Now a state of the accessibility layer is returned to the client
upon registration.
2. Removing the dependency on talking accessibility service to be enabled
for getting into touch exploration mode. What if the user wants to use
an accessibility service that shows a dialog with the text of the touched
view?

1. Seperated touch exploration to be a seperate setting rather being
magically enabled by the system of accessiiblity is on the there
is at leas one accessibility service that speaks enabled. Now
there is a setting for requesting touch exploration but still the
system will enabled it only if that makes sense i.e. accessibility
is on and one accessibility service that speaks is enabled.
2. Added public API for checking of touch exploration is enabled.
3. Added description attribute in accessibility service declaration
which will be shown to the user before enabling the service.
4. Added API for quick cloning of AccessibilityNodeInfo.
5. Added clone functionality to SparseArray, SparseIntArray, and
SparseBooleanArray.

content and does so, an exception is thrown to point the developer
to the reason.

1. Touch exploration start and end events are generated
by the sytstem to provide additional information for
accessibility services. Since such events do not come
from any particular window they whould not change the
id of the window that currently allows exploring its
content.
2. Touch exploration start and end events were lealing the
touch explorer class wich is private.

1. Due to thread interleaving it was possible that
two messages are sent for requesting dispatch of
the same accessibility event and since the first
one sends the event and removes it from the pending
list the second message pulls null during the event
lookup. Look at the patch's comments for a detailed
scenario and rationale of the fix.

1. The explorer was injecting up/down touch events to
click with the id of the last pointer that went up
but the prototype i.e. last touch explore event may
not contain this pointer. Since we click on the last
touch explored location then using the action pointer
index of that event is the right approach.

1. Added scrolling accessibility event to provicde feedback
when a view is scrolled.
Note: We need scroll events for ICS since even though we have
touch exploration the user does not know when something
is scrollable and not feedback is provided while scrolling.
bug:4902097
2. Added a text selection change event to provide feedback
for selection changes including cursor movement.
Note: We need the text selection change events for ICS since
even though the IME supports navigation in text fields
the user receives no feedback for the current selection/
cursor position.
bug:4586186
3. Added a scrollable property to both AccessibilityEvent and
AccessibilityNodeInfo. The info has to describe the source
in terms of all properties that make sense for accessibility
purposes and the event has this property (kinda duplicated)
since clients will aways want to know if the source is
scrollable to provided clue to the user and we want to avoid
pulling the info of the source for every accessibility event.

1. In compatibility mode a window wide scaling is applied to stretch
the content. However, AccessibilityNodeInfos retrieved from that
window contain bounds in application's view of the world and need
to be scaled to properly relect what a sighted user sees.

1. Enabling accessibility and disabling all enabled
accessibility service when a test client connects
the the AccessibilityManagerService.
Change-Id: I2f40cccaa0035ac1454d8c5ac84678c1542a0229
1. Added a new event type for notifying client accessibilitiy
services for changes in the layout. The event is fired at
most once for a given time frame and is delivered to clients
only if it originates from the window that can be interrogated.
2. Exposed the findByText functionality in AccessibilityNodeInfo.
This is very useful for an accessibility service since it allows
searching for something the user knows is on the screen thus
avoiding touch exploring the content. Touch exploring is
excellent for learning the apps but knowing them search is
much faster.
3. Fixed a bug causing an accessibiliby service not to receive
the event source in case of more than one service is registered
and one of them does not have paermission to interrogate the window.
The same event was dispatched to multiple services but if one
of them does not have interrogation permission the event is
modified to remove the source causing subsequent serivices not
to get the later.
4. Moved the getSource setSource methods to AccessibilityRecord
instead in AccessibilityEvent.
5. Hiden some protected members in AccessibilityRecod which should
not be made public since getters exist.
6. Added the View absolute coordinates in the screen to AccessibilityNodeInfo.
This is needed for fast computation of relative positions of
views from accessibility - common use case for the later.
7. Fixed a couple of marshalling bugs.
8. Added a test for the object contract of AccessibilityNodeInfo.
Change-Id: Id9dc50c33aff441e4c93d25ea316c9bbc4bd7a35

1. Views are represented as AccessibilityNodeInfos to AccessibilityServices.
2. An accessibility service receives AccessibilityEvents and can ask
for its source and gets an AccessibilityNodeInfo which can be used
to get its parent and children infos and so on.
3. AccessibilityNodeInfo contains some attributes and actions that
can be performed on the source.
4. AccessibilityService can request the system to preform an action
on the source of an AccessibilityNodeInfo.
5. ViewAncestor provides an interaction connection to the
AccessibiltyManagerService and an accessibility service uses
its connection to the latter to interact with screen content.
6. AccessibilityService can interact ONLY with the focused window
and all calls are routed through the AccessibilityManagerService
which imposes security.
7. Hidden APIs on AccessibilityService can find AccessibilityNodeInfos
based on some criteria. These API go through the AccessibilityManagerServcie
for security check.
8. Some actions are hidden and are exposes only to eng builds for UI testing.

1. AccessibilityManagerService was keeping handles to dead
IAccessibilitymanagerClients - now doing so.
2. AccessibilityManagerService was lazily cleaning up dead
IAccessibilityServiceConnections - now using a callback.
3. Cleaned up the book keeping of enabled services.
4. Fixed a bug that the input filter is still enabled
when disabling accessibility.

Note: This is a part of two CL change and contains the
system changes without updates to the settings.
1. Added a mechanism for configuring an accessibility service via
XML file specified in a meta-data tag (similar to IMEs).
2. Added property for specifying a settings activity for an
accessibility service.
3. Refactored the APIs in AccessibilityManager to return
lists of AccessiblityServiceInfo instead ServiceInfo
since the former describes an AccessibilityService in
particular (similar to IMEs).
Change-Id: Ie8781bb7e0cdb329e583b6702a612a507367ad7b
1. Refactored the code to avoid code duplication.
2. Fixed a bug in removing unused pointers from the event.
3. Fixed a bug that was crashing the explorer.
4. Sending hover exit immediately at the end of touch exploration
gesture rather with a delay.
Change-Id: Ie288cb8090d6fb5e5c715afa6ea5660b17c019e0
Added the concept of pointer properties in a MotionEvent.
This is currently used to track the pointer tool type to enable
applications to distinguish finger touches from a stylus.
Button states are also reported to application as part of touch events.
There are no new actions for detecting changes in button states.
The application should instead query the button state from the
MotionEvent and take appropriate action as needed.
A good time to check the button state is on ACTION_DOWN.
As a side-effect, applications that do not support multiple buttons
will treat primary, secondary and tertiary buttons identically
for all touch events.
The back button on the mouse is mapped to KEYCODE_BACK
and the forward button is mapped to KEYCODE_FORWARD.
Added basic plumbing for the secondary mouse button to invoke
the context menu, particularly in lists.
Added clamp and split methods on MotionEvent to take care of
common filtering operations so we don't have them scattered
in multiple places across the framework.

1. Added an Input Filter that interprets the touch screen motion
events to perfrom accessibility exploration. One finger explores.
Tapping within a given time and distance slop on the last exlopred
location does click and long press, respectively. Two fingers close
and in the same diretion drag. Multiple finglers or two fingers in
different directions or two fingers too far away are delegated to
the view hierarchy. Non moving fingers "accidentally grabbed the
device for the scrren" are ignored.
2. Added accessibility events for hover enter, hover exit, touch
exoloration gesture start, and end. Accessibility hover events
are fired by the hover pipeline. An accessibility event is
dispatched up the view tree and the topmost view fires it.
Thus predecessors can augment the fired event. An accessibility
event has several records and a predecessor can optionally
modify, delete, and add such to the event.
3. Added onPopulateAccessibilityEvent and refactored the existing
accessibility code to use it.
4. Added API for querying the currently enabled accessibility services
by feedback type.

This patch adds a mechanism for capturing, filtering, transforming
and injecting input events at a very low level before the input
dispatcher attempts to deliver them to applications. At this time,
the mechanism is only intended to be used by the accessibility
system to implement built-in system-level accessibility affordances.
The accessibility input filter is currently just a stub.
It logs the input events receives and reinjects them unchanged,
except that it transforms KEYCODE_Q into KEYCODE_Z.
Currently, the accessibility input filter is installed whenever
accessibility is enabled. We'll probably want to change that
so it only enables the input filter when a screen reader is
installed and we want touch exploration.
