Impact
Issues found by this rule impact anyone using assistive technology. Inability to interact with control while using assistive technology (AT) when the same control can be interacted without AT is an issue.
The version of Android, device, and manufacturer may play a part in issue detection.
Confirmation
- Turn on TalkBack or SwitchAccess
- One of the following will happen:
- Inaccessible: The view is unable to be focused and or interacted with.
- Accessible: The view is focused and available to interact with.
How to Fix
Avoid setting the importantForAccessibility property on tappable views with meaningful information to no. Views that people can access without assistive technology should be available for those using assistive technology.
