So I've been writing about the things I've learned with Compose and Canvas, and here's the latest blog post about text and animating colors: eevis.codes/blog/2024-11...

#AndroidDev #JetpackCompose #AndroidAccessibility

I blogged about writing tests for different interaction options for navigating interactive graphs: gestures, keyboard navigation and on-screen button navigation.

So today in my talk in We Are Developers Live / Accessibility Day, I mentioned Android accessibility checklist I developed as part of my master's thesis, and here it is:

Setting a fixed height, especially for components that wrap text, can cause various problems for users who use larger font sizes, such as cutting off text and preventing the component from expanding naturally.

While testing Android apps for a11y, the biggest problems I see are with larger font sizes. I'm also often asked for how to write automated tests for accessibility, so I wanted to share tips on testing large font size related problems.

Also, remember to pass in the role (Role.Switch, Role.Checkbox, Role.RadioButton). Using the correct modifier and role ensures, that the semantics are communicated correctly to assistive technologies.

For gesture navigation, if not testing with it, there might be interactive components that interfere with the gestures - for example, a slider or range slider, or a component with swipe-to-dismiss actions.

Lately, I've been learning about Wear OS development, and naturally, accessibility has been a part of that learning journey. In the blog post, I share my learnings from supporting Talkback to Magnification.

I tested the accessibility in @duolingoverde.bsky.social android app and the results were not satisfactory, watch my video to learn what was the problem I found and follow me for more accessibility content

Otherwise, there are two tab stops in the tab order, which can make assistive tech navigation harder, or in some cases, unusable.

But ripple is not just for focus indication, it's also part of the interaction as whole - for example, as feedback from touch input.

The default ripple is so subtle that it's easy to miss, but it's better than nothing.

I also write a bit about why I'm starting the newsletter, and what to expect from it. If you're interested, here's the link:
