I'm attempting to make my app more usable for users who need accessibility support, so I am attempting to have my app perform better for users who use TalkBack. I would like to have a custom description spoken for a widget I have made. The widget contains a LinearLayout, and that layout contains an ImageView and two TextViews. The upshot is that it displays a flag, and two small blobs of text. Preferably, when the user focuses on this widget, I would like TalkBack to say "<Country name> <Text field 1>", where Country Name and Text Field 1 are determined by the state of the widget.
Unfortunately, setting contentDescription for the ImageView, and for the widget itself, does absolutely nothing. I simply cannot find any docs about proper development in regards to accessibility on android; the best I've found is a blog post announcing talkback that says "Use contentDescription". If anyone can suggest to me how to have my widget announce itself properly, or any guides for developing accessible applications, I would very much appreciate it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
