# Skip Splash Ads on Android

Android-Touch-Helper is an Android helper app that automatically skips splash ads. It is implemented with Android Accessibility Service, which means the app can inspect on-screen content to detect and click skip targets.

Because Accessibility-based tools can potentially access sensitive on-screen information, privacy is the biggest concern for this kind of app.

**This project is open source, does not require network permission or storage permission, and does not collect or upload personal data.**

The app can skip splash ads in three ways:

1. Keyword detection. It looks for buttons containing specific keywords and clicks them automatically.
2. Specific UI controls. It can find and click predefined controls for a given app.
3. Specific screen positions. It can click a configured screen area for a given app.

Ideas and pull requests are welcome.

# Maintenance Note

This started as a personal project several years ago, and I no longer have much time to actively improve or maintain it. New feature requests may be difficult to support.

If you would like to contribute a PR, I will still do my best to review and merge it.
