Previously, the accessibility focus rectangle was only visible when it
overlapped with the m_editText View of QtActivityDelegate. The reason for
this is not completely verified, but this is the most likely reason:
* The SurfaceView and QtLayout (ViewGroup) does not do any drawing
themselves. Due to this their default value of the View::willNotDraw
property is true. Because of this Android might assume there is no
content for the focus indicator to surround. (This was verified with
setting the willNotDraw property to false on the accessibility view);
* Another possible reason could be that overlays does not work for
SurfaceView. It is documented that overlays does not work for
SurfaceViews, so therefore it tried to use the overlay of another
view. For some reason it picked the m_editText overlay instead of the
QtLayout overlay.
See here about overlay:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#getOverlay()
The solution is to add another View that covers the whole screen, which
will be used solely by android to draw the accessibility focus indicator.
In addition, we change the QtAccessibilityDelegate to no longer have the
SurfaceView as a host, but have the m_accView as a
host (the host can be freely changed, since all accessibility nodes are
virtualized through the delegate anyway)
For the record, this will be the current ordering of views in QtLayout:
(back-to-front order):
Qty Default Qty
* Surface View(s) >= 1 1
* Accessibility View == 1 1
* Native View(s) >= 0 1
* m_editText View == 1 1
where the m_editText migth be interleaved among the Native Views.
