Remarks

This class represents a node of the window content as well as actions that can be requested from its source. From the point of view of an android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService a window's content is presented as a tree of accessibility node infos, which may or may not map one-to-one to the view hierarchy. In other words, a custom view is free to report itself as a tree of accessibility node info. </p>

Once an accessibility node info is delivered to an accessibility service it is made immutable and calling a state mutation method generates an error. See #setQueryFromAppProcessEnabled if you would like to inspect the node tree from the app process for testing or debugging tools.

Please refer to android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService for details about how to obtain a handle to window content as a tree of accessibility node info as well as details about the security model.
