/**
* This class is the contract a client should implement to enable support of a
* virtual view hierarchy rooted at a given view for accessibility purposes. A virtual
* view hierarchy is a tree of imaginary Views that is reported as a part of the view
* hierarchy when an {@link AccessibilityService} explores the window content.
* Since the virtual View tree does not exist this class is responsible for
* managing the {@link AccessibilityNodeInfo}s describing that tree to accessibility
* services.
*
*
* The main use case of these APIs is to enable a custom view that draws complex content,
* for example a monthly calendar grid, to be presented as a tree of logical nodes,
* for example month days each containing events, thus conveying its logical structure.
*
*
* A typical use case is to override {@link View#getAccessibilityNodeProvider()} of the
* View that is a root of a virtual View hierarchy to return an instance of this class.
* In such a case this instance is responsible for managing {@link AccessibilityNodeInfo}s
* describing the virtual sub-tree rooted at the View including the one representing the
* View itself. Similarly the returned instance is responsible for performing accessibility
* actions on any virtual view or the root view itself. For example:
*
*
* getAccessibilityNodeProvider(
* if (mAccessibilityNodeProvider == null) {
* mAccessibilityNodeProvider = new AccessibilityNodeProvider() {
* public boolean performAction(int action, int virtualDescendantId) {
* // Implementation.
* return false;
* }
*
* public List findAccessibilityNodeInfosByText(String text,
* int virtualDescendantId) {
* // Implementation.
* return null;
* }
*
* public AccessibilityNodeInfo createAccessibilityNodeInfo(int virtualDescendantId) {
* // Implementation.
* return null;
* }
* });
* return mAccessibilityNodeProvider;
*

* A virtual descendant is an imaginary View that is reported as a part of the view
* hierarchy for accessibility purposes. This enables custom views that draw complex
* content to report them selves as a tree of virtual views, thus conveying their
