No previous message | Next message →

Hi Everyone,

I am working on a Native Android App where I need to notify user about a
change on the page. Normally what we do using aria-live or role=alert in
web. Is there anything like that available in Android Native?

Please let me know if anyone knows anything about it.

Thanks,
Pratik

Yes, both Android and iOS support announcement of text through an API. Android also has live regions

Android announce string
announceForAccessibility(CharSequence text)
Convenience method for sending a AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_ANNOUNCEMENT AccessibilityEvent to suggest that an accessibility service announce the specified text to its users.

Android live regions
setLiveRegion
Added in API level 19
public void setLiveRegion (int mode)
Sets the node's live region mode.
