rleiman Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 27, 2018 #1 Hi Everyone, One of my customers needs to use my app with TalkBack. It's almost compatible with TalkBack. The views that work with it are the label views and sliders. The app is also using the IconButton view but TalkBack speaks "Unlabled button" when the user slides a finger over they type of view and I have a lot of them in the app. I already tried to enter text into the text property of the view but TalkBack ignores the text. Is there a way to make the IconButton visible to TalkBack? Thanks.

This seems to be what Talkback relies on. Code: Sub SetContentDesc(v As View, desc As String) Dim r As Reflector r.Target = v r.RunMethod2("setContentDescription", desc, "java.lang.CharSequence") End Sub For example, for an image button I have: Code: SetContentDesc(bnHelp, "Help") Barry.

I don't think there is a lot of information. Maybe there is some information in one of the B4A books. Reflector has a few routines. The Reflector and Java Object allow you to access Android things not directly available in B4A. I'm sure someone else can offer a much better description. Barry. Upvote 0
