Accessibility reader plugin #957

Open tobrun opened 5 years ago

tobrun commented 5 years ago

Feature request for a plugin to integrate text to speech accessibility features. The developer is able to configure the plugin to point to a certain layer (eg. his own POI SymbolLayer) and the plugin would then hook into the Android accessibility service to read out text provided by the developer through its filter (eg. certain feature properties or the value of the text-field).

More info on accessibility services here.

cc @malwoodsantoro , who's looking into accessibility these days.

Love it. Why does this need to be a plugin, and not a core Maps SDK feature?

stale[bot] commented 4 years ago

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

Is there a fix for this? Do we have the ability to use TalkBack with the Annotations? Would it work with MarkerView instead?

tobrun commented 4 years ago

@EscapeArtist you can implement this yourself on your end by using the mapbox#queryRendererFeatures API

langsmith commented 4 years ago

@EscapeArtist , the Mapbox demo app uses .queryRenderedFeatures() in various ways:

https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-android-demo/search?q=queryRenderedFeatures&unscoped_q=queryRenderedFeatures

Then you could read out the information inside of the Feature(s) returned by the .queryRenderedFeatures() method

See https://docs.mapbox.com/android/maps/overview/query too

@langsmith Thanks. I followed the instructions of the documentation and stayed away from geojson, using the Annotation plugin, as is apparently recommended? How does this work in that case? And how can you tie this with the Talkback feature of accessibility? I should be able to use Talkback to cycle through everything on screen. That needs to include the currently visible Symbols ( Annotations ) visible on screen. Thanks.
