AccessibilityExtensionContext (Accessibility Extension Context)

The AccessibilityExtensionContext module, inherited from ExtensionContext, provides context for AccessibilityExtensionAbility.

You can use the APIs of this module to configure the concerned information, obtain root information, and inject gestures.

NOTE

  • The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

Usage

Before using the AccessibilityExtensionContext module, you must define a child class that inherits from AccessibilityExtensionAbility.

import { AccessibilityExtensionAbility } from '@kit.AccessibilityKit';

class EntryAbility extends AccessibilityExtensionAbility {
  onConnect(): void {
    let axContext = this.context; 
  } 
}
