1. AccessibilityInteractionConnections were removed from the
AccessiiblityManagerService but their DeathRecipents were
not unregistered, thus every removed interaction connection
was essentially leaking. Such connection is registered in
the system for every ViewRootImpl when accessiiblity is
enabled and inregistered when disabled.

2. Every AccessibilityEvent and AccessiilbityEventInfo obtained
from a widnow content querying accessibility service had a
handle to a binder proxy over which to make queries. Hoewever,
holding a proxy to a remote binder prevents the latter from
being garbage collected. Therefore, now the events and infos
have a connection id insteand and the hindden singleton
AccessiiblityInteaction client via which queries are made
has a registry with the connections. This class looks up
the connection given its id before making an IPC. Now the
connection is stored in one place and when an accessibility
service is disconnected the system sets the connection to
null so the binder object in the system process can be GCed.
Note that before this change a bad implemented accessibility
service could cache events or infos causing a leak in the
system process. This should never happen.

3. SparseArray was not clearing the reference to the last moved
element while garbage collecting thus causing a leak.

ea515aeafa01de6f50c854ee381b972ef2478284 15-Sep-2011 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Update the public APIs for finding views by text to optionally use content description.

1. Added flags to the search method to specify whether to match text or
content description or both.

2. Added test case for the seach by content description.

3. Updated the code in AccessibilityManager service to reflect the latest
changes there so test automation service works - this is the fake
service used for UI automation.

8bd69610aafc6995126965d1d23b771fe02a9084 23-Aug-2011 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Intra-process view hierarchy interrogation does not work.

The content retrieval APIs are synchronous from a client's
perspective but internally they are asynchronous. The client thread
calls into the system requesting an action and providing a callback
to receive the result after which it waits up to a timeout for that
result. The system enforces security and then delegates the request
to a given view hierarchy where a message is posted (from a binder
thread) describing what to be performed by the main UI thread the
result of which it delivered via the mentioned callback. However,
the blocked client thread and the main UI thread of the target view
hierarchy can be the same one, for example an accessibility service
and an activity run in the same process, thus they are executed on the
same main thread. In such a case the retrieval will fail since the UI
thread that has to process the message describing the work to be done
is blocked waiting for a result is has to compute! To avoid this scenario
when making a call the client also passes its process and thread ids so
the accessed view hierarchy can detect if the client making the request
is running in its main UI thread. In such a case the view hierarchy,
specifically the binder thread performing the IPC to it, does not post a
message to be run on the UI thread but passes it to the singleton
interaction client through which all interactions occur and the latter is
responsible to execute the message before starting to wait for the
asynchronous result delivered via the callback. In this case the expected
result is already received so no waiting is performed.

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.

a0156177cdc809795dd8bc5a19943dd2b6f82b66 27-Jun-2011 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Added scroll and text selection change accessibility events.

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. Updated the code to return empty list instead.

2. Updated the doc to explain that the search is done in the
sub-tree rooted at the info whose method is called.

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.

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.
