Screen reader issues

[IeuanWalker]

Hi,

The screen reader on iOS (haven't tested android) doesn't stay on the current slide and starts readying stuff from the other slides.

Attached is a vid of what is happening. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6544051/116270371-ed0d8d80-a776-11eb-8d5f-49f18d4f213e.MOV

Hey, I don't know how to help with that. This is a very tricky.

You can try to set IsEnabled to False for none selected views.

[AndreiMisiukevich]

Or you even can make next/prev items invisible (don't forget to make them visible again before navigating)

[AndreiMisiukevich]

Or this approach

var b = new Button();
b.SetValue(AutomationProperties.IsInAccessibleTreeProperty, false); // False to remove from accessibility tree or True to add

it will help to remove unnecessary elements from the accessibility tree.

I mean make current view's elements accessible and make unaccessible all other elements

[AndreiMisiukevich]

I propose next approach

1) In your data template view make all elements IsInAccessibleTreeProperty = false 2) Subscribe ItemDisappearing event and perform setting IsInAccessibleTreeProperty = false to all elements as well (Work with CurrentView) 3) Subscribe ItemAppeared and perfor setting IsInAccessibleTreeProperty = true to all elements on CurrentView

if you wish, I can add a new event "CurrentViewChanged" for easier implementing this approach. But unfortunately you will have to do it on your side, because side views are added to screen for soother animation.

I implemented something. Please try 2.7.7

@AndreiMisiukevich Your fix worked :D thanks so much

@AndreiMisiukevich Your fix worked :D thanks so much

Then need to implement something similar for Android

[AndreiMisiukevich]

Need to do the same, but set importantForAccessibility = no-hide-descendants

[AndreiMisiukevich]

Implemented for android in 2.7.8

@AndreiMisiukevich Great thanks.

I haven't started looking at android accessibility atm. But will let you know if there are any issues :)
