Request: New Talkback functions for blind developers #388

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Android is a great opportunity for blind people to work as app developers. 
Actually Talkback does not allow blind programmers to check the views that 
appear effectivly on the screen.
I know that a blind write the activity layout into a xml file, but a blind do 
not knows if that layout is showed effectivly as 
him wants. I suggest to add some functions to improve the work 
of blind developers.

My suggestions are to add a way to get views name, coordinate 
and dimension of views, foreground and background colors of 
views etc.. All infos that are much important for a developer. 
Could be showed into a list when, for example, when the user tap 
3 times on the object or with long tap or in other manner. These 
functions could be activated from Talkback settings page.
What steps will reproduce the problem?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
