talkback

I am creating an application in which i need to use AccessibilityService. And there is no problem to get get the window content of other applications. I have detected all available child from the window content and the child are showing in AccessibilityNodeInfo. Now I have a webview in AccessibilityNodeInfo And i need to get the URL of that WebView but there is no way to convert the AccessibilityNodeInfo into the relevant View. Is there any way to get the webview from AccessibilityNodeInfo ? No, because the WebView is in another process, not yours. There is not a way to access all of the

I want to use TalkBack within my app, but still want some activities to behave differently. For example, when entering a specific activity I want to select a button (trigger a button click) when lifting finger up from that button. TalkBack enables only double-click to select a button. How can I "override" TalkBack gestures? Thanks! You can perform a click action on HOVER_EXIT, but you'll need to do some work to prevent TalkBack from expecting the normal double-click action. The phone dialer's DialPadImageButton provides a good example of this behavior. Here are some relevant portions of code

I have an application requirement to announce text in a list view. The list view item gets added at run time. I have to announce them one by one. I searched on google and in android docs, but I could not reach there. Please help me, how to know accessibility services finished reading the text? Thanks :) Simple answer... don't do it this way! This is silliness. Just use the accessibility features available to you and let TalkBack (or other potential screen reader) manage it for you. Just use this utility function. public static void announceForAccessibility(Context context, String message) {

I'm currently making my app accessible and I'm having problem with my EditTexts: In every EditText, the user's input is being validated at some point (e.g. after pressing a button) and if the input is invalid, I show an error using editText.setError("message") . The problem is that if TalkBack is on, it will not automatically focus and read the error. Also, since I can't get the error's view, I can't ask TalkBack to focus it via sendAccessibilityEvent . I would appreciate any ideas on how to solve this issue while still using editText.setError() . Edit 1 Added code for @Abhishek V solution:

Problem is I am using TTS to read a long string message when my activity is launched, but TalkBack automatically reads the application name in the middle of it and cuts the long string and is very annoying. I would like to disable the TalkBack read the Application name every time an activity is launched. Removing its android:label attribute is not a viable solution as the application is controlled by someone else and I have no control over it. So, Is there any API that I could call to prevent the TalkBack feature from reading the application name when an application is launched? Any Help would

Imagine you have a LinearLayout inside a RelativeLayout that contains 3 TextViews with artist, song and album : <RelativeLayout ... <LinearLayout android:id="@id/text_view_container" android:layout_width="warp_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"> <TextView android:id="@id/artist" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Artist"/> <TextView android:id="@id/song" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Song"/> <TextView android:id="@id/album" android:layout_width=
