Does anyone know of good mobile (not app) accessibility training that is
available either in the DC area or online?

Speaking of mobile accessibility -- is it expected behavior to have
VoiceOver read links that are behind an open menu when using the swipe
down/up gesture or should only the visible links (menu items) be read?

See -- I really do need that training!

HI

I've found the Deque University native mobile app accessibility
courses to be pretty good ($45 each for Android and iOS, just go to
http://www.dequeuniversity.com, click on classes and online classes).

I don't know of any workshops unless you commission one for your own
group. I"m sure most of the vendors do this, I know Deque does, we
found their course to be pretty good.
I've seen all of Deque, Level Access and TPG offer online webinars
with emphasis on mobile apps accessibility, all are good, I am sure.
Re your question, if the links are not visible or actionable on the
screen you probably need to hide them. There is a way to hide content
from accessibility, at least on iOS. I have to dig around a bit to see
exactly how.
I hope this helps a bit.

Thanks, Birkir. I actually am signed up for the full content with Deque
University (my second time around -- I guess my retention is not so good).
I will check it out.

And thanks for the answer. I suspected as much. I noticed that on the web
site in question the links behind the menu, when open, are tabbable when
the browser is made smaller, like a mobile device.

Here is a way to hide content of both Android and iOS

Android:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#attr_android:
importantForAccessibility

iOS:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiaccessibilityelement/16195
80-isaccessibilityelement

I work for TPG and give native mobile app accessibility trainings/webinars.

Yes, I saw an announcement for the mobile apps accessibility webinar
by Joe, I put it on my "things I really want to attend" list, but
things have been a bit crazy this week. I hope I didn't miss it,
because I really want to attend it along with a couple of developers
from my team.

Hi Joe,

Is this open to everyone, and what is the cost?

Cheers,

Hi Pat,

It is open to everyone and the cost is free. (partial disclosure due to lack
of knowledge: but I think your contact info might get added to TPG's
marketing lists so not totally free)

Thankx, Joe
