1. The current user was not announced as such.

2. The event for a user switch was not sent.

7befb7deb2ac15134b3bb190520cba19165d16dd 28-Sep-2012 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Global gesture to toggle Accessibility system-wide.

1. This change adds a global gesture for enabling accessibility.
To enable this gesture the user has to allow it from the
accessibility settings or use the setup wizard to enable
accessibility. When the global gesture is enabled the user
can long press on power to bring the global actions dialog
and then hold with two fingers for a few seconds to enable
accessibility. The appropriate feedback is also provided.

2. The global gesture is writing directly into the settings for
the current user if performed when the keyguard is not on. If
the keygaurd is on and the current user has no accessibility
enabled, the gesture will temporary enable accessibility
for the current user, i.e. no settings are changed, to allow
the blind user to log into his account. As soon as a user
switch happens the new user settings are inherited. If no
user change happens after temporary enabling accessibility
the temporary changes will be undone when the keyguard goes
away and the device will works as expected by the current user.

3. The initialization code for the owner was not executed due
to a redundant check, thus putting the accessibility layer in
an inconsistent state which breaks pretty much everything.

1. This change converts the accessibility manager service to
maintain a state per user. When the user changes the services
for the user that is going away are disconnected, the local
accessibility managers in the processes for this user are
disabled, the state is swapped with the new user's one, and
the new user state is refreshed.

This change updates all calls into the system to use their
user specific versions when applicable. For example, regisetring
content observers, package monitors, calls into other system
services, etc.

There are some components that are shared across users such
as UI created by the system process and the SystemUI package.
Such components are managed as a global state shared across
all users and are updated accordingly on a user switch. Since
the SystemUI is running in a normal app process this change
adds hidden APIs on the local window manager to allow the
SystemUI to notify the accessibility layer that it will run
accross users.

Calls to AccessibiltyManager's isEnabled(), isTouchExplorationEnabled()
and sendAccessibilityEvent return false or a are a nop for a
background user sice he should not send accessibility events,
and should not perform touch exploration.

Update the internal accessibility tests due to changes in the
AccessibilityManager.

This change also fixes several issues that were encountered
such as calling out the accessibility manager service with a
lock held.

Removed some incorrect debugging code from the TouchExplorer
that was leading to a system crash.

77276b60851a158ad3e142cb3b091d57ae5ceffb 14-Sep-2012 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Adding accessibility events for touch and gesture detection states.

1. Currently the system fires accessibility events to announce the
start and end of a touch exploration gesture. However, such a
gesture starts after we have decided that the user is not
performing a gesture which is achieved by measuring speed of
movement during a threshold distance. This allows an accessibility
service to provide some feedback to the user so he knows that
he is touch exploring.

This change adds event types for the first and last touches
of the user. Note that the first touch does not conincide with
the start of a touch exploration gesture since we need a time
or distance to pass before we know whether the user explores
or gestures. However, it is very useful for an accessibility
service to know when the user starts to interact with the
touch screen so it can turn the speech off, to name one
compelling use case.

This change also provides event types for the start and end
of gesture detection. If the user has moved over the threshold
with a speed greater than X, then the system detects gestures.
It is useful for an accessibility service to know the begin
and end of gesture detection so it can provide given feedback
type for such a gesture, say it may produce haptic feedback
or sound that differs for the one for touch exploration.

The main benefit of announcing these new events is that an
accessibility service can provide feedback for each touch
state allowing the user to always know what he is doing.

1. For accessibility purposes it is important to be able to associate
a view with content with a view that labels it. For example, if
an accessibility service knows that a TextView is associated with
an EditText, it can provide much richer feedback.

This change adds APIs for setting a view to be the label for another
one and setting the label for a view, i.e. the reverse association.

c9c9a48e7bafae63cb35a9aa69255e80aba83988 16-Jul-2012 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Removing a workaround for incorrect window position on window move.

1. The window manager was not notifying a window when the latter
has been moved. This was causing incorrect coordinates of the
nodes reported to accessibility services. To workaround that
we have carried the correct window location when making a
call from the accessibility layer into a window. Now the
window manager notifies the window when it is moved and the
workaround is no longer needed. This change takes it out.

2. The left and right in the attach info were not updated properly
after a report that the window has moved.

3. The accessibility manager service was calling directly methods
on the window manager service without going through the interface
of the latter. This leads to unnecessary coupling and in the
long rung increases system complexity and reduces maintability.

27e2da7c171afa39358bbead18fbe3e6b8ea6637 03-Jul-2012 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Remove the accessibility focus search code.

1. In JellyBean we have added some APIs to search for next accessibility
focus in various directions and set accessibility focus from hover.
However, we have decided that there is not clean answer for how this
should behave and the APIs were hidden. Now the accessibility service
is responsible for that. The unused code is now taken out.

2. This patch also takes out the hidden attribute accessibiligyFocusable
since we moved the responsibility for implementing focus search strategy
to accessibility services and we did not need that for Jellybean which
is a good sign that this is not needed. I general this is one less thing
for an app developer to worry about. We can add this if needed later.

1. The function for finding where the accessibility focus in a virtual
node tree presented by an AccessibilityNodeProvider is not needed
API since the framework already keeps track of the accessibility
focused virtual node in order to draw the focus rectangle. This API
adds unnecessary complexity to developers of AccessibilityNodeProviders.

1. Currently we are providing accessibility focus search algorithm in the
framework and we are also setting accessibility focus from hover. It
appears that implementing a focus search strategy that works for all
accessibility services is non trivial task if feasible. Based on
feedback from the developers of two such services at Google - TalkBack
and BarilleBack - the built in focus search does not quite match what
they need and they would like to implement a custom strategy.

Hence, having APIs for accessibility focus search in the framework does
not make. Therefore, we are hiding this APIs and later will take out the focus
search logic and allow the accessibility service to implement search.

Also putting accessibility focus from hover is tightly integrated with
the focus search since the set of views that get accessibility focus
from hover should be the same as the set of views returned by the
focus search routine. Therefore, we are letting the accessibility service
decide where to put accessibility focus when it gets an accessibility
hover event.

1. If the last touch explored location is within the active window we
used to click on exact location if it is within the accessibility
focus otherwise in the accessibility focus center. If the last touch
explored location is not within the active window we used to just
click there. This breaks in the case were one has touch explored
at a given place in the current window and now a dialog opens *not*
covering the touch explored location. If one uses swipes to move
accessibility focus i.e. to traverse the dialog without touching
it one cannot activate anything because the touch explorer is using
the last touch explored location that is outside of the active
window e.g the dialog.

The solution is to clear the last touch explored location when a
window opens or accessibility focus moves. If the last touch
explored location is null we are clicking in the accessibility
focus location.

bug:6620911

2. There is a bug in the window manager that does not notify a
window that its location has changed (bug:6623031). This breaks
accessibility interaction with dialogs that have input because
when the IME is up the dialog is moved but not notified. Now
the accessibility layer gets incorrect location for the
accessibility focus and the window bounds.

The soluion is when the accessibility manager service calls
into the remove thress to obtain some accessibility node infos
it passes the window left and top which it gets from the
window manager. These values are used to update the attach info
window left and top so all accessibility node infos emitted
from that window had correct bounds in screen coordinates.

1. Fixed errors in the accessibility node cache.

A. The cache was not catching the case when the current window changes as a
result the user touch exploring it. As a result the cache had nodes from
more that one window but the node ids are not unique thus causing a mess.

B. The node info tree was prefetched regardless if a prefetched node is root
name space (i.e. view ids - not accessibility ids - are namespaced) while
the prefetched nodes were taking this into account. As a result there can
get disconnected subtrees in the cache.

C. When an event for a property change such as focus was received the cache
we were removing the source node. As a result there may be disconnected nodes.

D. When a node was added to the cache and an older version exists there was
no check if it will point to the same children and parent. As a result if
the state of the node has fewer children the subtrees rooted at the no
longer present children will stay disconnected in the cache.

E. When a node got accessibility or input focus the old one in the cache was
not removed. As a result you may have a state with more than one access
or input focus.

2. Added integrity check enabled only on user builds when a specific flag is set
for the cache which checks whether:

A. All nodes are from the same window.

B. All nodes are connected.

C. There are no duplicates.

D. There is only one input focus.

E. There is only one accessibility focus.

3. The reported accessibility node info tree was stopping at the root namespace
boundary which is not correct. The reported tree has to reflect everything
on the screen that the user can see such a workspace with widgets. The root
namespace is added to avoid clash of view id but the accessibility ids are
unique no matter if the view is inflated from a remote view.

4. Added calls to notify the accessibility layer when a preoprty that is interesting
for accessibiliy has changed.

a1dc761c8322355eb1bb71d3d6c9c603c1d1fc0f 10-May-2012 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Adding scroll actions to accessibility node info.

1. Scrolling actions are crucial for enabling a gesture based
traversal of the UI and specifically scrollable containers
especially lists and anything backed by an adapter. Since
accessibility focus can land only attached views, it cannot
visit views for adapter items not shown on the screen.
Auto scrolling the list as a result of putting access focus
ot a list item does not work well since the user may get
trapped in a long list. Adding an accessibility node provider
to emit virtual views for one view before the first and one
after the last is complex and suffers the limitation of trapping
the user. Accessibility service need an explicit scroll actions
which may be performed upon an explicit user action. Hence,
the user is informed for the start/end of the visible part of
the list and he makes a deliberate choice to scroll. This will
benefit also people developing Braille devices since they can
scroll the content without telling the user to stop using the
Braille controller and take the device out of his pocket to scroll
and go back to the Braille controller.

NOTE: Without these action large portions of the screen will be
hard to access since users will have to touch and explore to
find and scroll the list.

which scroll the source view in the screen.

1. Virtual nodes should be made important since the implementer of
the tree represented by the nodes decides which node to report.
In the case with native widgets we decide in the framework but
in the case of the node provider, the implementer of the latter
makes the call. Hence, if a node in not important the provider
should not report it in the first place. The issue this patch
solves is to allow events from virtual nodes to be propagated
to the accessibility services.

screen reader that is used for handling web content.

3. Added a new accessibility event type for traversing the content of a

Usefulness: Keep track of the current user location in the screen when
traversing the it. Enabling structural and directional
navigation over all elements on the screen. This enables
blind users that know the application layout to efficiently
locate desired elements as opposed to try touch exploring the
region where the the element should be - very tedious.

Rationale: There are two ways to implement accessibility focus One is
to let accessibility services keep track of it since they
have access to the screen content, and another to let the view
hierarchy keep track of it. While the first approach would
require almost no work on our part it poses several challenges
which make it a sub-optimal choice. Having the accessibility focus
in the accessibility service would require that service to scrape
the window content every time it changes to sync the view tree
state and the accessibility focus location. Pretty much the service
will have to keep an off screen model of the screen content. This
could be quite challenging to get right and would incur performance
cost for the multiple IPCs to repeatedly fetch the screen content.
Further, keeping virtual accessibility focus (i.e. in the service)
would require sync of the input and accessibility focus. This could
be challenging to implement right as well. Also, having an unlimited
number of accessibility services we cannot guarantee that they will
have a proper implementation, if any, to allow users to perform structural
navigation of the screen content. Assuming two accessibility
services implement structural navigation via accessibility focus,
there is not guarantee that they will behave similarly by default,
i.e. provide some standard way to navigate the screen content.
Also feedback from experienced accessibility researchers, specifically
T.V Raman, provides evidence that having virtual accessibility focus
creates many issues and it is very hard to get right.
Therefore, keeping accessibility focus in the system will avoid
keeping an off-screen model in accessibility services, it will always
be in sync with the state of the view hierarchy and the input focus.
Also this will allow having a default behavior for traversing the
screen via this accessibility focus that is consistent in all
accessibility services. We provide accessibility services with APIs to
override this behavior but all of them will perform screen traversal
in a consistent way by default.

Behavior: If accessibility is enabled the accessibility focus is the leading one
and the input follows it. Putting accessibility focus on a view moves
the input focus there. Clearing the accessibility focus of a view, clears
the input focus of this view. If accessibility focus is on a view that
cannot take input focus, then no other view should have input focus.
In accessibility mode we initially give accessibility focus to the topmost
view and no view has input focus. This ensures consistent behavior accross
all apps. Note that accessibility focus can move hierarchically in the
view tree and having it at the root is better than putting it where the
input focus would be - at the first input focusable which could be at
an arbitrary depth in the view tree. By default not all views are reported
for accessibility, only the important ones. A view may be explicitly labeled
as important or not for accessibility, or the system determines which one
is such - default. Important views for accessibility are all views that are
not dumb layout managers used only to arrange their chidren. Since the same
content arrangement can be obtained via different combintation of layout
managers, such managers cannot be used to reliably determine the application
structure. For example, a user should see a list as a list view with several
list items and each list item as a text view and a button as opposed to seeing
all the layout managers used to arrange the list item's content.
By default only important for accessibility views are regared for accessibility
purposes. View not regarded for accessibility neither fire accessibility events,
nor are reported being on the screen. An accessibility service may request the
system to regard all views. If the target SDK of an accessibility services is
less than JellyBean, then all views are regarded for accessibility.
Note that an accessibility service that requires all view to be ragarded for
accessibility may put accessibility focus on any view. Hence, it may implement
any navigational paradigm if desired. Especially considering the fact that
the system is detecting some standard gestures and delegates their processing
to an accessibility service. The default implementation of an accessibility
services performs the defualt navigation.

1. The need for sending an accessibility event to announce a context change
which does not cleanly fit into the existing UI transition UI events has
come quite a few time in application development. To avoid retrofitting
accessibility event types that do not semantically match the intent to
just announce a short message this patch is adding specialized event type.
Also a helper method on View is added to sheild developers from knowing
how to construct and send such an event.

1. AccessibilityNodeInfo were not cloned when cached
and obtained from the cache. This was causing a
problem when the client calls #recycle() as he
should since this results in wiping the data of
the cached node info.

1. Before there were two caches one in the app process that
kept track only the ids of infos that were given to a
querying client and one in the querying client that
holds the infos. This design requires precise sync
between the caches. Doing that is somehow complicated
since the app has cache for each window and it has
to intercept all accessibility events from that window
to manage the cache. Each app has to have a cache for
each querying client. This approach would guarantee that
no infos are fetched twice but due to its stateful nature
and the two caches is tricky to implement and adds
unnecessary complexity. Now there is only one cache in
the client and the apps are stateless. The client is
passing flags to the app that are a clue what nodes to
prefetch. This approach may occasionally fetch a node
twice but it is considerably simpler and stateless
from the app perspective - there is only one cache.
Fetching a node more than once does not cause much
overhead compared to the IPC.

0d04e245534cf777dfaf16dce3c51553837c14ff 21-Feb-2012 Svetoslav Ganov <svetoslavganov@google.com> Improving accessibility APIs used for UI automation.

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.

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.

to maintain backwards compatibility by setting the accessibility virtual

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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).

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.

bug:2513822

Text added to accessibility events is truncated to max
length. However, the fromIndex and toIndex properties
are relative to the text before being truncated, thus
potentially our of bound. Removed the max length
limitation because test very rarely is longer that
500 characters and in the cases in which text is longer
than 500 character it will not be a real problem to
pass a bit more data through an IPC (very rarely).
