I am testing on Pixel device with Fingerprint Gestures ON from accessibility. I am trying to get the gesture callbacks using FingerprintGestureController but never getting any gestures in return even after I turn the accessibility ON for this app from Settings->Accessibility. isGestureDetectionAvailable() is always returning false to me. Can someone please help.
Here is the code:
my_gesture_service.xml
<accessibility-service xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:accessibilityFeedbackType="feedbackGeneric"
android:accessibilityFlags="flagDefault"
android:canRequestFingerprintGestures="true" />
AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.fingerprint"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE"/>
<service
android:name="android.gestures.MyService"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.accessibilityservice"
android:resource="@xml/my_gesture_service" />
</service>
MyService.java
public class MyService extends AccessibilityService {
private static final String TAG = MyService.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
public void onAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent accessibilityEvent) {
Log.d(TAG, "onAccessibilityEvent");
}
@Override
public void onInterrupt() {
Log.d(TAG, "onInterrupt");
}
@Override
protected boolean onGesture(int gestureId) {
Log.d(TAG, "onGesture " + gestureId);
return super.onGesture(gestureId);
}
@Override
protected boolean onKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
Log.d(TAG, "onKeyEvent " + event.getKeyCode());
return super.onKeyEvent(event);
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "onDestroy" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
protected void onServiceConnected() {
super.onServiceConnected();
Log.d(TAG, "onServiceConnected");
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
FingerprintGestureController gestureController = getFingerprintGestureController();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Is available: " + gestureController.isGestureDetectionAvailable(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.e(TAG, "Is available: " + gestureController.isGestureDetectionAvailable() );
FingerprintGestureController.FingerprintGestureCallback callback = new
FingerprintGestureController.FingerprintGestureCallback() {
@Override
public void onGestureDetectionAvailabilityChanged(boolean available) {
super.onGestureDetectionAvailabilityChanged(available);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Gesture available change to: " + available, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onGestureDetectionAvailabilityChanged " + available);
}
@Override
public void onGestureDetected(int gesture) {
super.onGestureDetected(gesture);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Gesture: " + gesture, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onGestureDetected " + gesture);
}
};
gestureController.registerFingerprintGestureCallback(callback, new Handler());
}
}
@Override
public boolean onUnbind(Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG, "onUnbind " );
return super.onUnbind(intent);
}
}
Found the answer. I needed this one flag too in xml:
android:accessibilityFlags="flagDefault|flagRequestFingerprintGestures"
