Interface `Accessible` is the main interface for the accessibility package. All components that support the accessibility package must implement this interface. It contains a single method, `getAccessibleContext()`, which returns an instance of the class `AccessibleContext`.

## Method Summary

`getAccessibleContext()`
Returns the `AccessibleContext` associated with this object.

## Method Details

### getAccessibleContext

AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
Returns the `AccessibleContext` associated with this object. In most cases, the return value should not be `null` if the object implements interface `Accessible`. If a component developer creates a subclass of an object that implements `Accessible`, and that subclass is not `Accessible`, the developer should override the `getAccessibleContext` method to return `null`.
