setting an accessibilityLabel on a UIImageView contained in UITableView header

Question

I have a UITableView that I build in loadView. One of the things I do in loadView is create a UIView to act as the table head

Answer 1

Voice-Over sometimes can get nasty and just by setting isAccessibilityElement might not work.

In this case try setting accessibilityElements on the parent view and include the child views in the array, like this:

parentView.accessibilityElements = [childView1, childView1, childView1]

Doing it also ensures that the accessibility items are being read in the order you want.

Answer 2

In Voice-Over , in order to make an element accessible :-

1. you have to set setIsAccessibilityElement property as true which i don't find in your code.

2. The other important point is that to make child elements (subviews) to be accessible , you have to seperately make them accessible while the parent should not be accessible(you have to specify this also).

3. Implement the UIAccessibilityContainer Protocol in your custom - cell.

It will be a big story if i go on .Please refer this Accessibility voice over by apple.

Hope this helps.

I used KIF for testing my IOS app. In my tableview, I assigned value to tableview.accesssibilityIdentifier instead of tableview.accessibilityLabel. It worked for me. Wanna give it a try?
