Explore by swipe does not read in correct order

[GoogleCodeExporter]

LG Nexus 4, Android 4.3, TalkBack 3.5.0b1.

Apps effected: Phone-call log, Messaging-messages list, WhatsApp-group chat.

PHONE-CALL LOG

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to phone app and select call log.

2. Now present the list of received and made numbers e.g.

(Sample of a call log, read from left to right)

button 45 unlabled  0412345678  call 0412345678 button
button 23 unlabled  Allan 0387654321    call Allan button
button 11 unlabled  Jacky 0355667788    call Jacky button
button 15 unlabled  Zoe 0444332211  call Zoe button

If you view this call log with (swipe explore), you will first read the 
name/number to the unlabled button and finally the call button. The order is 
not actually the same on the screen. By right, it should read the unlabled 
button which is the contact photo first, than the name/number and finally the 
call back button.

MESSAGING-MESSAGES LIST

The situation almost the same as to the messaging app, when view with swipe to 
explore, TalkBack will first read the preview message and the date, then only 
the unlabled button which is the contact photo. It should read the unlabled 
button first, because it is on the left side of the screen.

WHATSAPP-GROUP CHAT

The problem almost the same at the WhatsApp messenger group chat. Here is the 
quick example when read with swipe to explore.

Jason

Vincent

But when a TalkBack user read this thread with swipe right for eatch line, this 
will happen.

As you can see, when a TalkBack user swipe right to read line-by-line, it is 
rather confusing, because the persons name appear after 
their message. And worst still, if the person wrote more than 1 message 
continuously, the person name will sit between their first 
and second messages.

Please investigate to these problem.

Thank you.

The issues described here are not related to TalkBack's traversal, but rather 
the underlying application's view hierarchy.

I've reported the issues here to the relevant teams.
