Subject: Appropriate role for tiles on android
No previous message | Next message →

Hi All,

We have a view in android that looks like a tile containing a title,
below it is some description followed by some icons. The entire view
is clickable and has a single focus. What should be an appropriate
role for this view?
Best,
Ajay

It depends on what happens when you click it. It sounds like a big fat
button (if it performs an action) or a link if it's navigational.

As Glenn said If the whol title is a single focusable area Treat it as a button. But if there are other interactive objects inside the tile Then you will have to treat the tile as a group container with a name accessible property

Is this mobile web content or in a native app? If it is in a native app, are
the "tiles" part of a listview?

It is not in a listview currently, it is on react native and upon activation opens a new page on app that displays the details for that tile.

Would it be fine to have them as items in a list view?

Since it is native app and not web-based content, they should have a role of
button or be in a native component that can contain active elements (e.g.,
Listview, menu, navigation drawer).

Due to limitations in Android, some components that contain only active
elements give no roles for each item, but do give help text
(accessibilityHint, if turned on by the user) indicating they are active.
For example, [element name {Pause}, Double-tap to activate].

If you need further guidance, let me know.

Thanks all for your kind thoughts.

So far it appears for this case listview could be the correct choice,
as number of these tiles could increase or decrease. This would also
let the users to know about the count of items in the list as well.

Thanks for helping me to reach here.

Best,
Ajay
