FAQ: Keeps asking for Accessibility

[MathewSachin]

This is related to how AccessibilityServices are killed by battery optimizations added by phone manufacturers

Temporary quick-fix: Force stop FGA or restart your phone.

If the following steps don't work, you'll have to live with it. There's nothing much I can do to help you with that.

There are 2 ways to solve this:

1. Respecting your battery saver (Recommended)

A running AccessibilityService gets bugged when the containing app is killed either by the system or when the user swipes it away from the recent apps list.
To solve this, you only need to make sure that the AccessibilityService is turned OFF every time you're done using the app.
There is a button on the main screen in the app to assist in this. Whenever you want to use the app, you'll have to turn ON the AccessibilityService again from the system settings.

Some devices have Accessibility gestures for turning ON/OFF AccessibilityServices. You might be able to configure one for FGA if your device supports it so that you don't have to go to the system settings every time.

2. Circumventing your battery saver

This is not always possible but is more convenient due to not having to start Accessibility every time you want to use the app.

• See if your phone manufacturer is listed on this website: https://dontkillmyapp.com/
• Follow the steps for your phone correctly.

These are the steps you need to follow afterwards and anytime in future you face the problem again:

• Force-stop FGA (in some cases a device restart is needed)
• You might also have to turn OFF Accessibility once and then turn ON again.

For xiaomi users having that problem, just lock the app so you don't close it by accident.

Why when is it on support menu it suddenly dose not work?

Xiaomi fix for accessibility service stopping when closing the app: also enable permissions for FGA in settings -> apps permissions -> background autostart.
