public abstract class AccessibleContext
extends Object
```
AccessibleContext represents the minimum information all accessible objects return. This information includes the accessible name, description, role, and state of the object, as well as information about its parent and children. AccessibleContext also contains methods for obtaining more specific accessibility information about a component. If the component supports them, these methods will return an object that implements one or more of the following interfaces:
- AccessibleAction - the object can perform one or more actions. This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to determine what those actions are and tell the object to perform them. Any object that can be manipulated should support this interface.
- AccessibleComponent - the object has a graphical representation. This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to determine and set the graphical representation of the object. Any object that is rendered on the screen should support this interface.
- AccessibleSelection - the object allows its children to be selected. This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to determine the currently selected children of the object as well as modify its selection set. Any object that has children that can be selected should support this interface.
- AccessibleText - the object presents editable textual information on the display. This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to access that text via its content, attributes, and spatial location. Any object that contains editable text should support this interface.
- AccessibleValue - the object supports a numerical value. This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to determine and set the current value of the object, as well as obtain its minimum and maximum values. Any object that supports a numerical value should support this interface.

  - getAccessibleName
```
public String getAccessibleName()
```
    Gets the accessibleName property of this object. The accessibleName property of an object is a localized String that designates the purpose of the object. For example, the accessibleName property of a label or button might be the text of the label or button itself. In the case of an object that doesn't display its name, the accessibleName should still be set. For example, in the case of a text field used to enter the name of a city, the accessibleName for the en_US locale could be 'city.'
    
    Returns:
    
    the localized name of the object; null if this object does not have a name
    
    See Also:
    
    setAccessibleName(java.lang.String)
  - setAccessibleName
```
public void setAccessibleName(String s)
```
    Sets the localized accessible name of this object. Changing the name will cause a PropertyChangeEvent to be fired for the ACCESSIBLE_NAME_PROPERTY property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the new localized name of the object.
    
    See Also:
    
    getAccessibleName(), addPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener)
  - getAccessibleDescription
```
public String getAccessibleDescription()
```
    Gets the accessibleDescription property of this object. The accessibleDescription property of this object is a short localized phrase describing the purpose of the object. For example, in the case of a 'Cancel' button, the accessibleDescription could be 'Ignore changes and close dialog box.'
    
    Returns:
    
    the localized description of the object; null if this object does not have a description
    
    See Also:
    
    setAccessibleDescription(java.lang.String)
  - setAccessibleDescription
```
public void setAccessibleDescription(String s)
```
    Sets the accessible description of this object. Changing the name will cause a PropertyChangeEvent to be fired for the ACCESSIBLE_DESCRIPTION_PROPERTY property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the new localized description of the object
    
    See Also:

```
public abstract AccessibleRole getAccessibleRole()
```
    Gets the role of this object. The role of the object is the generic purpose or use of the class of this object. For example, the role of a push button is AccessibleRole.PUSH_BUTTON. The roles in AccessibleRole are provided so component developers can pick from a set of predefined roles. This enables assistive technologies to provide a consistent interface to various tweaked subclasses of components (e.g., use AccessibleRole.PUSH_BUTTON for all components that act like a push button) as well as distinguish between subclasses that behave differently (e.g., AccessibleRole.CHECK_BOX for check boxes and AccessibleRole.RADIO_BUTTON for radio buttons).
    Note that the AccessibleRole class is also extensible, so custom component developers can define their own AccessibleRole's if the set of predefined roles is inadequate.

    an instance of AccessibleRole describing the role of the object
    
    See Also:
    
    AccessibleRole

    Returns:
    
    an instance of AccessibleStateSet containing the current state set of the object
    
    See Also:

    a - - Accessible to be set as the parent

    the number of accessible children of the object.
  - getAccessibleChild
```
public abstract Accessible getAccessibleChild(int i)
```
    Returns the specified Accessible child of the object. The Accessible children of an Accessible object are zero-based, so the first child of an Accessible child is at index 0, the second child is at index 1, and so on.
    
    Parameters:
    
    i - zero-based index of child
    
    Returns:
    
    the Accessible child of the object

  - firePropertyChange
```
public void firePropertyChange(String propertyName,
                               Object oldValue,
                               Object newValue)
```
    Support for reporting bound property changes. If oldValue and newValue are not equal and the PropertyChangeEvent listener list is not empty, then fire a PropertyChange event to each listener. In general, this is for use by the Accessible objects themselves and should not be called by an application program.
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName - The programmatic name of the property that was changed.
    
    oldValue - The old value of the property.
    
    newValue - The new value of the property.
