The editor wraps Rosemoe's CodeEditor, a custom-drawn View. Its accessibility node reported the whole document as a single generic editable node (class name CodeEditor) and advertised no text-movement granularities, ACTION_SET_SELECTION or granularity actions. TalkBack therefore had no way to move the real text caret with the reading position: double-tapping a word/line placed the caret at the node's centre and subsequent typing landed on the wrong line. Make IDEEditor behave like a standard EditText for screen readers: - Report as android.widget.EditText and advertise CHARACTER/WORD/LINE movement granularities plus ACTION_SET_SELECTION and the next/previous-at-granularity actions. - Handle those actions by converting absolute char indices to (line, column) via the editor's Indexer and moving the real caret, then emit TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_TRAVERSED_AT_MOVEMENT_GRANULARITY so the spoken segment and caret stay in sync. - Track the last touch-exploration hover point and, on ACTION_CLICK, place the caret there so a double-tap lands on the explored word/line (only active while touch exploration is on, so sighted use is unaffected). Text-segment iteration lives in EditorAccessibilitySegments (character and word mirror the framework's AccessibilityIterators; line walks logical '\n'-separated lines) and is covered by unit tests.
- getAccessibilityClassName() now mirrors the !isReleased && isEnabled && isEditable guard used by createAccessibilityNodeInfo(), so a read-only or released editor is no longer announced as an "Edit box". - Word granularity navigation snaps a mid-word offset to the enclosing word's start/end, so navigation traverses the whole word (e.g. "hello"@2 -> [0,5]) instead of a truncated range. Adds regression tests for mid-word offsets. - Narrow the accessibility catch blocks to IndexOutOfBoundsException / IllegalArgumentException instead of a broad Exception, per project convention.
… events Two TalkBack gaps surfaced in on-device testing: 1. Line and paragraph navigation didn't work. PARAGRAPH granularity was never advertised, and the editor never emitted TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_SELECTION_CHANGED, so the screen reader could not track the caret across the larger granularities. Advertise + implement PARAGRAPH (non-empty logical lines, blank lines skipped) and fire a selection-changed event on every selection change. 2. Inserted/deleted characters were not announced. Emit TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_CHANGED on content changes with fromIndex, added/removed counts and beforeText reconstructed from the change, so TalkBack speaks typed and deleted text like a standard EditText. Both event senders are no-ops when no accessibility service is enabled. Adds unit tests for paragraph navigation.
paragraphPreceding returned the raw offset as its end bound, so a mid-paragraph offset yielded a truncated range (e.g. "abc\ndef\nghi"@5 gave [4,5] instead of [4,7]). paragraphFollowing also snapped to the current line instead of advancing. Rework both to mirror lineFollowing/linePreceding (advance to the next line forward; return the whole enclosing line backward) while still skipping blank lines, and add mid-paragraph regression tests.

Explanation
The description names the Jira ticket ADFA-4605, says the PR supersedes
#1509, and credits a co-author. It does not describe the changeset itself. It is related to the changeset because it points to the same ticket that the objectives cover (editor accessibility cursor sync). Level of detail is not a pass criterion, so the check passes.

@editor/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/editor/ui/IDEEditor.kt:
- Around line 911-948: Update sendTextChangedAccessibilityEvent and
sendSelectionChangedAccessibilityEvent to skip event construction when no
user-facing accessibility service consumes these updates, rather than relying
solely on AccessibilityManager.isEnabled. Bound the text and beforeText payloads
to a small window around the changed or selected range, adjust event.fromIndex
to the window-relative index, and preserve correct insertion, deletion, and
selection semantics while avoiding full-document copies and Binder payloads.
- Around line 741-761: Update handleAccessibilityClick to call showSoftInput()
after setSelection succeeds, and invalidate or clear lastHoverX and lastHoverY
once the accessibility click consumes them so a later click cannot reuse stale
coordinates.
Review comments at
@editor/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/editor/utils/EditorAccessibilitySegments.kt:
- Around line 195-211: Update lineFollowing so a returned segment always
advances beyond the input offset; when an empty-line segment ends at or before
offset, continue from the next line and recompute its end, returning null only
at end of text. Update the existing empty-line expectation and add coverage for
repeated forward navigation across a blank line.
- Around line 186-189: Update isLetterOrDigit to treat underscores as word
characters, and apply the same classification in wordPreceding. In the word
expansion flow, coalesce adjacent word-character segments by repeatedly
advancing the BreakIterator end before validating isWordEnd, so identifiers such
as foo_bar remain a single word.

Inline findings, highest severity first:
IMPORTANT
IDEEditor.kt:705-performClick()opens the keyboard on every tap, including gutter breakpoint tapsIDEEditor.kt:863- stale hover coordinates move the caret back after swipe navigation or a scrollIDEEditor.kt:819- hard-coded English announcements (also line 1171)IDEEditor.kt:955- extending a selection anchors on the wrong end after reversing direction
MINOR
IDEEditor.kt:1085- selection-changed indices are window-relative, while the node and other events use absolute indicesIDEEditor.kt:1144- the new-text event's counts don't match its textIDEEditor.kt:1044- traversal and insert/delete payloads are unboundedIDEEditor.kt:1053- redundant binder call per keystrokeEditorAccessibilitySegments.kt:135- dotted identifiers are one word
Prior round (CodeRabbit) - all six read as fixed at 482bfc7:
- IME for the accessibility click:
handleAccessibilityClickcallsshowSoftInput(). - Per-keystroke whole-document copies: text-changed and selection-changed are windowed. Remaining unbounded paths are in the
:1044comment. _as a word character:isLetterOrDigitincludes_.- Forward line navigation stuck at a blank line: traced
"a\n\nb"from offset 1 ->[2,2]->[3,4]. - Soft-keyboard policy: both
super.showSoftInput()and the posted call checkcheckSoftInputEnabled(). - Hover events:
super.dispatchHoverEventruns on every branch.
Verdict: request changes for the four IMPORTANT findings. REVIEW.md asks that blocking comments carry a concrete risk, and each one names its failing input. The sora-editor claims were checked against 0.23.6, the version the app pins. Not built or run on a device.

IMPORTANT
EditorAccessibilitySegments.kt:182- line/paragraph navigation breaks on CRLF filesIDEEditor.kt:855- TalkBack double-tap collapses an existing selection
Re-check of the previous round (at 482bfc7), verified against dc28906:
performClick()keyboard on gutter taps - fixed, gated on touch exploration.- Hard-coded English announcements - fixed, four
a11y_editor_line*strings in:resources. - Stale hover point on double-tap - fixed for swipe, set-selection and scroll (now a resolved line/column).
- Selection anchor on direction reversal - fixed, anchor kept across steps.
- Unbounded payloads - insert/delete capped at 200 chars; selection and traversal events keep the whole document for absolute indices, as
EditTextdoes. Accepted. - Binder call per keystroke - fixed, replaced by
isTouchExplorationEnabled. - Window-relative selection indices - fixed, absolute, with a test past char 100.
ACTION_SET_NEW_TEXTcounts - fixed, consistent with the windowed text.- Dotted identifiers as one word - fixed, words split on non-
[A-Za-z0-9_].

@itsaky-adfa please review again. I've decided to ignore most of Claude's feedback and rolled back the changes because "fixing" the reported issues always broke one thing or the other in the TalkBack behavior. Besides, @makhlwf's initial PR had no pending review comments before opening this one that supersedes it. |

Apart from the below issues, the PR makes use of AccessibilityEvent.obtain at quite a lot of locations, and since obtain is deprecated, uses @Supress("DEPRECATION") to suppress the warnings. That's not the right way to handle it.
Please choose between AccessibilityEvent(int) and AccessibilityEvent.obtain based on the API level - use newer APIs where possible. A helper function that does this would be better.
