AccessibilityRecord

public class AccessibilityRecord
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityRecord


Represents a record in an AccessibilityEvent and contains information about state change of its source View. When a view fires an accessibility event it requests from its parent to dispatch the constructed event. The parent may optionally append a record for itself for providing more context to AccessibilityServices. Hence, accessibility services can facilitate additional accessibility records to enhance feedback.

Once the accessibility event containing a record is dispatched the record is made immutable and calling a state mutation method generates an error.

Note: Not all properties are applicable to all accessibility event types. For detailed information please refer to AccessibilityEvent.

Sets the source to be a virtual descendant of the given root. If virtualDescendantId equals to View#NO_ID the root is set as the source.

A virtual descendant is an imaginary View that is reported as a part of the view hierarchy for accessibility purposes. This enables custom views that draw complex content to report them selves as a tree of virtual views, thus conveying their logical structure.

Sets the index of text selection end or the index of the last visible item when scrolling.

Parameters
toIndex int: The index of selection end or last item index.

toString

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Returns
String a string representation of the object.
