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.

Even Though I tried setting Accessibility manually by triggering calendar ID in both XML and Functionality. Need any other possibility to solve this.
I'm developing a material design app. I want to know that can I add settings option in a Floating Action Button?
Like when user press the button (FAB), settings will be opened. Would this be a good user experience?
I know this question is framed quiet badly, but I didn't find a better way.
Please cooperate.
Thanks in advance.
I won't recommend that. According to Google guidelines, Settings can be shown in the following ways(Please refer the url) https://www.google.com/design/spec/patterns/settings.html#settings-grouping-settings.
And FAB is used for a promoted action. By promoted action means, an action of more priority, which eases a most used action(say, 'Compose' in Gmail).(Please refer this url)

And, of course you can decide where to keep these sort of thing. Ultimately you are the owner of your app :). But these guidelines are good to follow since it will meet a common user's expectation. Ultimately, UX matters ... :)
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.

I would like to be able to detect when a user types a key in the Search Dialog. I plan on using this to hook in to custom suggestion functionality.
Note: The built-in Search Manager custom suggestions functionality won't work for me because I need to customize the layout of the suggestions.
No, sorry, the global search dialog is not extensible by your code.
