i'm trying to develop an application for visually impaired people, i'm using accessibility for sure
i'm trying to set a welcome for the user without the user touching anything that should be played only in accessibility mode and when the activity launches
i have a Textview
that welcomes the user and i have set the message in the contentDescription
of it
and onCreate
method i call
textView.announceForAccessibility("Welcome");
i've also tried
textView.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_CLICKED);
textView.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED);
textView.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_ANNOUNCEMENT);
and almost every AccessibilityEvent type
none of them works
i'm testing on nexus6p with android v7 also with accessibility enabled
Thanks to this thread earlier i ave found the answer all i did i added this snippet of code and it worked like charm
AccessibilityManager manager = (AccessibilityManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE);
if (manager.isEnabled()) {
AccessibilityEvent e = AccessibilityEvent.obtain();
e.setEventType(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_ANNOUNCEMENT);
e.setClassName(getClass().getName());
e.setPackageName(context.getPackageName());
e.getText().add("some text");
manager.sendAccessibilityEvent(e);
}
