Accessibility focus search and setting it from hover are performed by the client.
1. Currently we are providing accessibility focus search algorithm in the framework and we are also setting accessibility focus from hover. It appears that implementing a focus search strategy that works for all accessibility services is non trivial task if feasible. Based on feedback from the developers of two such services at Google - TalkBack and BarilleBack - the built in focus search does not quite match what they need and they would like to implement a custom strategy. Hence, having APIs for accessibility focus search in the framework does not make. Therefore, we are hiding this APIs and later will take out the focus search logic and allow the accessibility service to implement search. Also putting accessibility focus from hover is tightly integrated with the focus search since the set of views that get accessibility focus from hover should be the same as the set of views returned by the focus search routine. Therefore, we are letting the accessibility service decide where to put accessibility focus when it gets an accessibility hover event. bug:6675330 Change-Id: Ie152230990a6602f3fd1d82de2177d0b1444d654
