Currently we have an "enhance web accessibility" setting that has to be
enabled to make sure web content is accessible. We added the setting to
get user consent because we are injecting JavaScript-based screen-reader
pulled from the Google infrastructure. However, many users do not know
that and (as expected) do not read the user documentation, resulting in
critique for lacking accessibility support in WebViews with JavaScript
enabled (Browser, Gmail, etc).
To smoothen the user experience now "enhance web accessibility" is a
feature an accessibility plug-in can request, similarly to explore by
touch. Now a user does not need to know that she has to explicitly
enable the setting and web accessibility will work out-of-the-box.
Before we were showing a dialog when a plug-in tries to put the device
in a touch exploration mode. However, now that we have one more feature
a plug-in can request, showing two dialogs (assume a plug-in wants both
features) will mean that a user should potentially deal with three
dialogs, one for enabling the service, and one for each feature. We
could merge the dialogs but still the user has to poke two dialogs.
It seems that the permission mechanism is a perfect fit for getting
user permission for an app to do something, in this case to enable
an accessibility feature. We need a separate permission for explore
by touch and enhance web accessibility since the former changes the
interaction model and the latter injects JavaScript in web pages. It
is critical to get user consent for the script injection part so we
need a well-documented permission rather a vague umbrella permission
for poking accessibility features. To allow better grouping of the
accessibility permissions this patch adds a permission group as well.

When launching an assist, we have a new API allowing the
current foreground activity/application to provide additional
arbitrary contextual information that is stuffed in the
assist intent before it is launched.

This change adds APIs support for implementing UI tests. Such tests do
not rely on internal application structure and can span across application
boundaries. UI automation APIs are encapsulated in the UiAutomation object
that is provided by an Instrumentation object. It is initialized by the
system and can be used for both introspecting the screen and performing
interactions simulating a user. UI test are normal instrumentation tests
and are executed on the device.
UiAutomation uses the accessibility APIs to introspect the screen and
a special delegate object to perform privileged operations such as
injecting input events. Since instrumentation tests are invoked by a shell
command, the shell program launching the tests creates a delegate object and
passes it as an argument to started instrumentation. This delegate
allows the APK that runs the tests to access some privileged operations
protected by a signature level permissions which are explicitly granted
to the shell user.
The UiAutomation object also supports running tests in the legacy way
where the tests are run as a Java shell program. This enables existing
UiAutomator tests to keep working while the new ones should be implemented
using the new APIs. The UiAutomation object exposes lower level APIs which
allow simulation of arbitrary user interactions and writing complete UI test
cases. Clients, such as UiAutomator, are encouraged to implement higher-
level APIs which minimize development effort and can be used as a helper
library by the test developer.
The benefit of this change is decoupling UiAutomator from the system
since the former was calling hidden APIs which required that it is
bundled in the system image. This prevented UiAutomator from being
evolved separately from the system. Also UiAutomator was creating
additional API surface in the system image. Another benefit of the new
design is that now test cases have access to a context and can use
public platform APIs in addition to the UiAutomator ones. Further,
third-parties can develop their own higher level test APIs on top
of the lower level ones exposes by UiAutomation.

Also this change adds the fully qualified resource name of the view's
id in the emitted AccessibilityNodeInfo if a special flag is set while
configuring the accessibility service. Also added is API for looking
up node infos by this id. The id resource name is relatively more stable
compared to the generaed id number which may change from one build to
another. This API facilitate reuing the already defined ids for UI
automation.

The disabled state allows you to make an app disabled
except for whatever parts of the system still want to
provide access to them and automatically enable them
if the user want to use it.
Currently the input method manager service is the only
part of the system that supports this, so you can put
an IME in this state and it will generally look disabled
but still be available in the IME list and once selected
switched to the enabled state.

LocationManagerService now annotates incoming Location objects that
have come from mock location providers. The new isFromMockProvider()
method can be called on any Location to determine whether the
provider that supplied the Location was a mock location provider.

Also add MockContentResolver constructor to provide a Context, and
move to singleton ActivityThread, since there is only one inside
each process. This makes ActivityThread accessible from threads like
InstrumentationThread.

TTS Voice-data related API was originally written with
one engine in mind (pico sVox TTS). It exposes some implementation
details that should be private to the engine implementation.
- Deprecating fields of ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA results that were
used by sVox language packs to find out location of voice data.
Those fields are TTS engine implementation details and should be
private:
EXTRA_VOICE_DATA_ROOT_DIRECTORY
EXTRA_VOICE_DATA_FILES
EXTRA_VOICE_DATA_FILES_INFO
- Deprecating fields of ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA request that are
providing unnescesary functionality (it can be easily done on client
side):
EXTRA_CHECK_VOICE_DATA_FOR
- Deprecating some of the return codes of ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA - they
are specific to sVox pico voice data and in all cases can be replaced
by CHECK_VOICE_DATA_FAIL result code.
CHECK_VOICE_DATA_BAD_DATA
CHECK_VOICE_DATA_MISSING_DATA
CHECK_VOICE_DATA_MISSING_VOLUME
- Changing semantics of ACTION_TTS_DATA_INSTALLED intent. It's now
more generic and covers any change of available voice data set (so, not only
adding languages, but also removing them should trigger broadcast. Adding and
removing features to existing locale (like embedded synthesis) should be marked
by broadcast as well).
- Deprecating its EXTRA_TTS_DATA_INSTALLED result field - client should discover
the change by running ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA intent.
- Making GetSampleText intent public again - it's used by most TTS engines to
provide unique demonstation data.
- Deprecating TextToSpeech.OnUtteranceCompletedListener - it was replaced
by UtteranceProgressListener in API level 15, but no one put deprecation tag
on it.

1. This patch takes care of the case where a magnified window is covering an unmagnigied
one. One example is a dialog that covers the IME window.
bug:7634430
2. Ensuring that the UI automator tool can connect and correctly dump the screen.
bug:7694696
3. Removed the partial implementation for multi display magnification. It adds
unnecessary complexity since it cannot be implemented without support for
input from multiple screens. We will revisit when necessary.
4. Moved the magnified border window as a surface in the window manager.
5. Moved the mediator APIs on the window manager and the policy methods on the
WindowManagerPolicy.
6. Implemented batch event processing for the accessibility input filter.

A recent change altered semantics of getLanguage call to return client
language instead of service language. This solved problems
with interferences between two clients using different lanaguages.
This change created a bug - new TTS client instance have no language set.
Since reading user preferences requires additional permissions I've
added new tts service method - getClientDefaultLanguage that will return
user preferences.
I've also added new client method, getDefaultLanguage, that allow easy
access to this data.

Activity.setImmersive(boolean) / android:immersive="bool" are now public.
In addition, if the foreground activity is immersive then an update lock
will be held on its behalf. This lets applications such as movie players
suppress the display of intrusive notifications, OTA-availability dialogs,
and the like while they are displaying content that ought not to be
rudely interrupted.
The update lock aspect of this mode is *advisory*, not binding -- the
update mechanism is not actually constrained; it simply uses this information
in deciding whether/when to prompt the user. It's more a guideline than
a rule.
