I need a small utility that automatically presses the “Skip,” “Close,” or “X” button whenever a video ad appears on an Android device. The focus is strictly on video ads for now, but I’d like the underlying logic to be flexible enough to extend to other ad types down the road.

Platform
• The first release must work reliably on Android. If it also happens to skip any other app ads without extra effort, that’s a bonus, but Android-wide coverage is the priority.

Ad-detection approach
I’m open to whatever technique you believe will be the most accurate and light on resources—image recognition, pattern recognition, accessibility-service hooks, or a smart hybrid. Explain briefly in your proposal why your chosen method is the better fit

Deliverables
• An installable APK (or Android module) that silently watches the screen and taps the visible skip/close control the moment it appears
• Source code with clear comments so I can maintain or extend it
• A short README covering permissions required, how to build, and any configuration options

Acceptance criteria
1. On at least three popular apps containing skippable video ads, the utility dismisses the ad within one second of the button appearing.
2. Battery and CPU impact remains negligible during a 30-minute test session.
3. No interference with normal user interaction.

If you’ve built similar overlay or accessibility tools before, that’s a definite plus—feel free to point me to them.
