```kotlin
@JvmDefaultWithCompatibility
interface AccessibilityManager
```


Interface for managing accessibility.


## Functions

```kotlin
fun calculateRecommendedTimeoutMillis(
        originalTimeoutMillis: Long,
        containsIcons: Boolean = false,
        containsText: Boolean = false,
        containsControls: Boolean = false,
    ): Long
```


Calculate the recommended timeout for changes to the UI needed by this user. Controls should
remain on the screen for at least this long to give users time to react. Some users may need
extra time to review the controls, or to reach them, or to activate assistive technology to
activate the controls automatically.

<p>
Use the boolean parameters to indicate contents of UI. For example, set `containsIcons` and
`containsText` to true for message notification which contains icons and text, or set
`containsText` and `containsControls` to true for button dialog which contains text and
button controls.

<p/>

| originalTimeoutMillis | The timeout appropriate for users with no accessibility needs in milliseconds. |

| containsText | The contents of UI contain text. |

#### Returns
