I have created my own accessibility service that is overriding the accessibility button and wanted to see if there was a way to customize the button?
Thanks in advance
As far as I know you can only take them to the list of accessibility services. You cannot automate much of the accessibility stuff because of the implications it has.
I have made an IME depend on Google's SoftKeyboard Sample. But while I set it as my System default IME, the other APP also user it, My custom IME is not friendly to other APP. I only want to use it in my APP, is there any good advice?
We are trying to develop a custom keyboard on Android for the visually impaired people. Creating the keyboard is easy, but we have no clue how to make it accessible, say for instance, interacting with TalkBack. In fact, other than the native Google keyboard, we have not seen any custom keyboard that can work with TalkBack. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The LatinIME implements a lift-to-type interaction model, which is a special case, but otherwise interacts with accessibility services the same way that any application would by populating AccessibilityEvents and AccessibilityNodeInfos.
If your keyboard is implemented as a custom view, you should read up on ExploreByTouchHelper and consider watching the Google I/O 2013 presentation on custom view accessibility.
In general, you should take a look at the LatinIME's accessibility components which cover lift-to-type interaction (lines 206-259) as well as implementing a node provider (simplified if you are using ExploreByTouchHelper).
I am a student programmer and the topic my degree work is to finalize one of the input methods for touchscreen devices by visually impaired people (including the blind).
I want to make my application work correct with TalkBack. But I totally don't know, how to do it. I've found the package for accessibility, but it's not clear for me, how to it integrates with TB.
You can start with simple layout with ImageView and add android:contentDescription="your string" as a parameter in xml. Then turn on talkback and click on that image to see what happens.
Use android:contentDescription="Generic Image" in any View with any custom content.
Note: When using ViewGroup, should be careful of clicking through view.
Here is a example: https://github.com/dotrinhdev/AndroidTalkback
As an application developer, you don't need to specifically integrate your app with TalkBack. Instead, you should focus on providing correct data to the accessibility framework. This will ensure that your application works not only with TalkBack, but also with Braille and switch-based accessibility services.
See the Android Developer guide on Making Applications Accessible for an overview of what steps you need to take to ensure your application works correctly with accessibility services.

How do I hide an android app from the app drawer
I have read some similar questions and suggests using the Android PackageManager.
I was able to successfully hide them but according to a reply in this link,

It says:
Keep in mind that this also disables the app, so it will not respond to any more intents etc.
I think he is right, I am having problems while opening my app from an intent.
Is it possible retain the same app functionalities even if I remove the launcher icon.
