Geoff,
You know? You make an extremely valid point. I honestly never even thought
about that. And, for me being a dev myself, that's quite patheticly
embarrassing for me to admit. LOL! My thing is, I've seen it in quite a
few places, not just BardMobile. For this reason, I guess I just
automatically theorized this to be a global problem. I've not found any
pickers... (pardon the hearing loss problem of thinking it was tickers...)
that work correctly as of yet, but that doesn't mean I won't find one
eventually.
You know what I'm also curious about? I wonder, if I was to grab my
bluetooth keyboard and try with that thing, I wonder if focus would be lost.
Hmm, now you got me curious.
Chris.

I can confirm Chris's observation while attempting to peruse Magazines via
the BARD mobile app, however believe this is more of a function of how the
UIPickerViewController in question was coded.
For example, I was trying to bring the international audience into this
discussion by locating a scenario that anyone could test. I first
attempted to use the MegaBus mobile app while still on IOS6, and the
picker loss of focus issue rendered the "search and buy" process unusable.
I can confirm that this has not changed in IOS 7.02. I launched Safari,
and went to the MegaBus USA site, and observed that the picker worked
flawlessly; I.E. flicking up or down never results in the loss of focus.
So, perhaps the question is whether there is indeed a VO bug, or did the
Developers of the BARD and MegaBus IOS apps fail to code their UIPicker
view controllers correctly. If the latter (which I suspect is most
likely), it would be great if we knew what specific modifications we could
suggest that affected developers might consider implementing in their
ViewControllers so as to fully exploit accessibility features such as
VoiceOver.
Best regards, and its a wonderful day in the neighborhood since the RedSox
lost!!

Has anyone noticed in I O S 7.02 that Apple in combination with
Voiceover,
broke the ticker items? Now, when there is one, you can't touch the
bottom
half of the screen any longer to get to it... you gotta flick to it.
It's
the only way, case closed. Second of all, once focussed, if you then
one
finger flick up to the next item, you then will completely! lose focus,
then
you gotta flick all? the freaking way back down the screen, find? the
damn
ticker again, then flick again, lose focus, flick down to the ticker
again,
flick, lose focus, etc. etc? You can't just find the thing, and one
finger
shook shook shook shook? This is the most aggervating thing I've seen.
Good luck with tickers that have over a hundred items in them! Yes they
exist. Don't believe me? Go look at the Bard mobile app under magazines
by
title. Yeah, try navigating that for a while losing focus every time,
then
tell me you're not fed up after about 2 minutes. LOL! Oh, and by the
way,
there is no way from the bard web site to add magazines to your wish
list,
so good luck going there on the pc or mac and just putting it there for
later download.
I might have a work around, but I need to test it before I say what it
is.
Still though, is anyone else seeing this? This isn't just Bard Mobile
either. That was only an example. This is happenning globally across
the
whole I O S platform regardless the app.
Chris.
