Open accessibility permission screen on samsung with android 12 programmatically

Question

My android application requests permission for accessibility. On older versions of android, the code below opens the correct accessibility permission screen. But testing on a samsung with android 12, it doesn't work.

private void launchPermission() {
        AppOpsManager ops = (AppOpsManager) context.getSystemService(Context.APP_OPS_SERVICE);
        Intent intent = new Intent("android.settings.ACCESSIBILITY_SETTINGS");
        startActivity(intent);
}

Can you help me to solve this problem?

Answer 1

To request Accessibility Permission on Android, you could do something like this:

private final int requestCodeForAccessbility = 32423; //This can be any random number;

private void requestAccessiblityPermission() {
   Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_ACCESSIBILITY_SETTINGS);
   getActivity().startActivityForResult(intent, requestCodeForAccessibility);
}

and in your onActivityResult you could check if AccessiblityPermission is enabled:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    try {
            if (requestCode == requestCodeForAccessibility) {
                //Check if accessibility service is turned on or off.
            }
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            //Handle errors
        }

    }

Check following steps:

1. Declare in AndroidManifest.xml file:

   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE" />

2. Request the accessibility permission:

   Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_ACCESSIBILITY_SETTINGS); startActivity(intent);
