Impact
People using TalkBack with blindness or low-vision are most impacted. Text elements should be focusable so a screen reader can relay information to the end-user.
Confirmation
- Turn on TalkBack
- Attempt to focus on the text element
- One of the following will occur:
- Inaccessible: Text element will not be focusable.
- Accessible: Text element is focused by TalkBack.
How to Fix
Avoid marking Compose Text elements as invisibleToUser. Views that people can access without assistive technology should be available for those using assistive technology.
In the example below, remove invisibleToUser to ensure views are available to people using assistive technology.
Text("I am a text element.", modifier = Modifier.semantics {
//Remove the below API to make it accessible
invisibleToUser()
})
