accessibility-api

My program purpose: trigger the BACK button in a service I tried many ways, no one can achieve this purpose, finally I discovered AccessibilityService, it may be the most possible ways to implement this function. I created this AccessibilityService, and tested it is work package com.accessibilityservice; public class MyAccessibilityService extends AccessibilityService { public MyAccessibilityService() { } @Override public void onAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) { performGlobalAction(AccessibilityService.GLOBAL_ACTION_BACK); } @Override public void onInterrupt() { } } <?xml version=

I am creating an application in which i need to use AccessibilityService. And there is no problem to get get the window content of other applications. I have detected all available child from the window content and the child are showing in AccessibilityNodeInfo. Now I have a webview in AccessibilityNodeInfo And i need to get the URL of that WebView but there is no way to convert the AccessibilityNodeInfo into the relevant View. Is there any way to get the webview from AccessibilityNodeInfo ? No, because the WebView is in another process, not yours. There is not a way to access all of the

I've been searching forever for a solution to this, so I thought I'd seek out the brainpower of greater minds than mine. I'm developing a Cocoa app that uses the Accessibility API to manipulate another program (it's a hotkey app). The app I'm controlling typically has multiple windows open, with some hidden behind others. What I would like to do, if it's possible, is to send mouse events to windows using the Accessibility API in a way that presses a button in the window without bringing it to the foreground (interact with the window but don't activate it). The reason I'm trying to do this is

My Mac App uses accessibility API to move an resize window (of other apps). I would like to submit my app to the MAS (Mac App Store). I have read that to submit an app to the MAS is mandatory to turn on sandboxing. When I turn on the sandboxing my code can´t find the focused window through the accessibility API (always return NULL). The question is: the accessibility API can´t be used with sandboxing? I notice that there are applications in the Mac App Store that uses accessibility API, is not mandatory sandboxing by now? Thanks in advance. Dominic Tancredi First, by March June, 2012, all Apps

As many sources state on the internet, you need to have your app Sandboxed to be able to deploy it in the App Store. Furthermore, it is impossible to use the accessibility api (AXUIElement.h) when sandboxed,according to this . However, some apps still seem to use this api. One of these apps is Cinch. In the installation procedure of Cinch you need to give Cinch rights to use the accessibility API, so clearly they are using this API. After checking out the binary from the app store with the following command: codesign --display --entitlements - /Applications/Cinch.app It seems the app is not
