Re: How to manage focus on touch screen devices when Screen Reader is on

Hi,

@KellyFord: The seuquential navigation works fine without entering the
data swiping left to right takes the focus from the user name and to
the password field. Reverse swiping (right to left) from password
brings the focus back to the user name field.
The issue is when the element is activated with double tap.

Usually in most of the apps the left to right swipe takes the focus to
the next actionable element even when the one of the fields such as
edit box is activated and the keypad is displayed.

@Patrick: I am not able to share the app currently. I will try to get
the code samples.


Thanks & Regards,
Mohith B. P.
