1. UiTestAutomationBridge was accessing the root node in the
active window by tracking the accessibility event stream
and keeping the last active window changing event. Now
the bridge is stateless and the root node is fetched by
passing special window and view id with the request to
the system.

2. AccessibilityNodeInfos that are cached were not finished,
i.e. not sealed, causing exception when trying to access
their children or rpedecessors.

3. AccessibilityManagerService was not properly restoring its
state after the UI automation bridge disconnects from it.
I particular the devices was still in explore by touch mode
event if no services are enabled and the sutomation bridge
is disconnected.

4. ViewRootImpl for the focused window now fires accessibility
events when accessibility is enabled to allow accessibility
services to determine the current user location.

5. Several missing null checks in ViewRootImpl are fixed since
there were scenraios in which a NPE can occur.

6. Update the internal window content querying tests.

7. ViewRootImpl was firing one extra focus event.

79311c4af8b54d3cd47ab37a120c648bfc990511 18-Jan-2012 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Speedup the accessibility window querying APIs and clean up.

1. Now when an interrogating client requires an AccessibilibtyNodeInfo
we aggressively prefetch all the predecessors of that node and its
descendants. The number of fetched nodes in one call is limited to
keep the APIs responsive. The prefetched nodes infos are cached in
the client process. The node info cache is invalidated partially or
completely based on the fired accessibility events. For example,
TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED event clears the cache while
TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED removed the focused node from the cache, etc.
Note that the cache is only for the currently active window.
The ViewRootImple also keeps track of only the ids of the node
infos it has sent to each querying process to avoid duplicating
work. Usually only one process will query the screen content
but we support the general case. Also all the caches are
automatically invalidated so not additional bookkeeping is
required. This simple strategy leads to 10X improving the
speed of the querying APIs.

2. The Monkey and UI test automation framework were registering a
raw event listener for accessibility events and hence perform
connection and cache management in similar way to an AccessibilityService.
This is fragile and requires the implementer to know internal framework
stuff. Now the functionality required by the Monkey and the UI automation
is encapsulated in a new UiTestAutomationBridge class. To enable this
was requited some refactoring of AccessibilityService.

3. Removed the *doSomethiong*InActiveWindow methods from the
AccessibilityInteractionClient and the AccessibilityInteractionConnection.
The function of these methods is implemented by the not *InActiveWindow
version while passing appropriate constants.

4. Updated the internal window Querying tests to use the new
UiTestAutomationBridge.

5. If the ViewRootImple was not initialized the querying APIs of
the IAccessibilityInteractionConnection implementation were
returning immediately without calling the callback with null.
This was causing the client side to wait until it times out. Now
the client is notified as soon as the call fails.

6. Added a check to guarantee that Views with AccessibilityNodeProvider
do not have children.

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.

Added an interface that is the contract for a client to expose a virtual
view hierarchy to accessibility services. Clients impement this interface
and set it in the View that is the root of the virtual sub-tree. Adding
this finctionality via compostion as opposed to inheritance enables apps
to maintain backwards compatibility by setting the accessibility virtual
hierarchy provider on the View only if the API version is high enough.

1. Due to a previous change that disabled accessibility if not enabled
and installed serivces are present the automation APIs stopped working
since they use fake automation service that is not installed.

2. Added clean up of death recipients when binders die.

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.

eeee4d2c01d3c4ed99e4891dbc75c7de69a803fa 11-Jun-2011 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Final polish of the interrogation feature.

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. The Interaction connection checks if the ViewAncestor
is valid and posts a message to be processed on the UI
thread. The code in the UI thread did not check if
the mView was valid. Added this check.

2. Added a faster sync mechanism in the test for
getting the source of the last access event.

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.
