KeePassDX will not use the [accessibility service](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityService) for older devices. It is a service which is not made for this purpose, and this technical aspect is deprecated by Google. In addition, this will require too much work for devices that are no longer produced.
KeePassDX will not use the [accessibility service](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityService) for older devices. It is a service which is not made for this purpose, the accessibility service is present for people with disabilities. If we use this service for something else, it's like we have a ramp for the disabled, and we use it for biking. Sure, it works but people who need this service for something else are blocked.
In addition, this will require too much work for devices that are no longer produced.
You can however use the [Magikeyboard](https://github.com/Kunzisoft/KeePassDX/wiki/Magikeyboard), which was specifically created to overcome this problem and is compatible with older devices.
