Subject: Table Accessibility in Native Android Apps
No previous message | Next message →

Dear members,
As the Subject line suggests, I would like to know the accessibility
of tables in Native Android and IOS Environments.
Whether the Semantics of a table like the Caption, Column / Row
headers, can be made Screen reader accessible?

Thanks and Regards

Quickfire answer: as there's no real concept of a "table" per se in
native android or iOS development (it's more about scrollable views
etc), there's no standard semantics for these sorts of things in native
and authors need to essentially make up their own behind-the-scenes
hooks to convey information in a way that makes sense to mobile screen
reader users.
