Have you checked if an issue already exists for this bug?

  • Nobody else has reported this bug before

Have you tried restarting your device?

Rebooting solves the problem (temporarily).

What happened that you did not expect?

All ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAYs are invisible randomly after a while. There is nothing in logcat or dumpsys window to suggest why. The "accessibility menu" service built-in to AOSP shows the same symptoms.

Potential work around:

  • Use normal system alert window (APPLICATION_OVERLAY) overlays. But one must use application context because the accessibilityservice context doesn't work, which may help finding the root cause.

What did you expect to happen?

accessibility overlays should show.

What would the developer need to do to reproduce the bug?
