Android - how to clear accessibility focus

I would like to clear accessibility focus. But in my case it is not easy as object that currently has focus is not accessible in the scope, so I cannot call on it clearAccessibilityFocus(). In this moment I request focus on other object, that I have access to and then clear focus, but it is not good solution. Can you help me with that?

There are two possible situations. If you need to remove focus from real view then you can act like this:

view.performAccessibilityAction(
    AccessibilityNodeInfo.ACTION_CLEAR_ACCESSIBILITY_FOCUS, 
    null
)

But if you need to remove focus from virtual view then you should do something like this:

view.accessibilityNodeProvider?.performAction(
    virtualViewId,
    AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat.ACTION_CLEAR_ACCESSIBILITY_FOCUS,
    null
)

I guess you can go for:

myView.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_ACCESSIBILITY_FOCUS_CLEARED);

You can use

view.performAccessibilityAction(
            AccessibilityNodeInfo.ACTION_CLEAR_ACCESSIBILITY_FOCUS, null);

to clear the accessibility focus.

You can call this on view.

setImportantForAccessibility(View.IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO_HIDE_DESCENDANTS);

I was having a problem where accessibility was leaked on the fragment which was added on top of other fragment. so onCreateView() of the second fragment 

container.getFocusedChild().setImportantForAccessibility(View.IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO_HIDE_DESCENDANTS);
