Accessibility in Action
summary
Project work with iTriage and the Blind Institute of Technology shows real fixes take minutes, not weeks: add content descriptions, update them when images change, and call programmatic announcements to speak changes. Demoed behaviors: TalkBack gestures and earcons, screenshots require a device, live regions only announce text changes (KitKat+), cardviews read differently when an onclick is present, and FloatingActionButton can be unreachable in infinite lists unless accessibilityTraversalBefore is set. Common fixes: set contentDescription, use announceForAccessibility or importantForAccessibility=false where appropriate.
