Compass Example Using Deprecated

marfl99 · April 5th, 2013, 09:22 PM

The AccessibilityEvent.MAX_TEXT_LENGTH and AccessibilityEvent.MAX_TEXT_LENGTH are deprecated. What are we suppose to do here ?

Hi,

I replaced that with an integer value of 500, see also http://developer.android.com/referen...AX_TEXT_LENGTH

Or use @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") before public boolean dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(final AccessibilityEvent event).

Happy programming!

The Google doc says there is no longer a length restriction on AccessibilityEvent so there is no need to check the length of bearingStr nor to truncate it.

Code:

if (isShown()) {
            String bearingStr = String.valueOf(bearing);
            event.getText().add(bearingStr);
            return true;
        }
