Android Question AccessibilityService. performGlobalAction and dispatchGesture?

[zhousongke]

Olivera's shared example "#Extend, Accessibility Service" listens onAccessibilityEvent. But how to use the performGlobalAction and dispatchGesture methods?

 

[OliverA]

In the accessibility_service_config.xml located under Res\xml, try adding

android:canPerformGestures="true"

and see if that enables your application to perform gestures.

<accessibility-service
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:accessibilityEventTypes="typeWindowStateChanged|typeWindowContentChanged|typeWindowsChanged"
    android:accessibilityFeedbackType="feedbackGeneric"
    android:accessibilityFlags="flagReportViewIds|flagIncludeNotImportantViews"
    android:description="@string/accessibility_service_description"
    android:canRetrieveWindowContent="false"
    android:notificationTimeout="500" 
/>

After

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<accessibility-service
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:accessibilityEventTypes="typeWindowStateChanged|typeWindowContentChanged|typeWindowsChanged"
    android:accessibilityFeedbackType="feedbackGeneric"
    android:accessibilityFlags="flagReportViewIds|flagIncludeNotImportantViews"
    android:description="@string/accessibility_service_description"
    android:canRetrieveWindowContent="false"
    android:notificationTimeout="500"
    android:canPerformGestures="true"
/>
