Android :: Accessibility Of The Visual UI
May 3, 2009
As part of my roll as an administrator I manage projects arried out by my group. I am writing for help with a Google Code project dealing with the accessibility of Android to the Visually Impaired using TTS and Braille displays.
The project can be found at:
http://slimvoice.googlecode.com/ .
Unfortunately changes to the os must be made to allow for hooks in our Screen Reader to be able to dril out the visual elements on-screen.

Are there any accessibility hooks into the system which will let me build an application that can monitor for system wide GUI events, such as application windows being activated/focused, keys being pressed on a particular widget, mouse clicks on buttons?I'm looking for behavior similar to that provided by java accessibility utilities (http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/ accessibility/docs/jaccess-1.3/doc/api/com/sun/java/accessibility/util/ package-summary.html)

I am using a Karbonn A12+. It is a Mediatek device (MT6572 chipset) and works on almost stock Android 4.2
I have installed Talkback, Floating Notifications and a few other apps that require accessibility service but none of them appear in the accessibility settings option. Doing the exact same thing on my Android 4.1 based tablet and Android 2.2 phone creates an option to enable accessibility service for apps requiring that. How to get things back to normal?
I am not visually impaired or anything, just want to use those apps which require this. I really want to use Floating Notifications along with XHalo Floating Windows to get Halo like multitasking on the stock rom. The snapshot below is all I get in the accessibility settings screen. I have tried Factory resetting the device and wiping cache/dalvik cache, fixing permissions, things not even distantly related to the problem but to no avail.

I wonder if someone could help me. I'm registered blind and I sometime stuggle to read really small text and only certain apps work with pinch to zoom.I went into the Settings > Accessibility but there is nothing in there except for a greyed out Accessibility option which I can't select.I'm assuming I need to install accessibily apps for them to show up here but I haven't a clue what ones I need or where to get them. Can anyone help me?What I'm after is something like the 3 finger tap on the iPhone/iPod Touch which zooms in no matter what I'm looking at.

In the settings menu on my DI there is a menu category called "accessibility". When i hit that button, it brings up a dim option to check or uncheck, but it can't be checked. What is this for, and how is it accessed?

I have a Galaxy S3 that I got a couple months ago, love it but there's just this one problem. The headphones that I was using at the time that I got it were a little damaged so the left side was quieter than the other. I used the accessibility option to shift the sound balance to the left so that it would be balanced. A little bit after the most recent update (4.3?) rolled out I happened to purchase new headphones so I went to switch the sound balance back, but to my surprise there was no longer the "sound balance" option in the accessibility menu. It seems like the settings for the sound balance managed to stay how they were but the actual option to change them disappeared. This makes it extremely hard to listen to music in headphones and when I plug my phone into car speakers it's much louder on the left side of the car.
I know that Poweramp and Rocket Player both have sound balance options, but I often use apps like Songza, Google Play Music, and Soundcloud so buying the full version of Poweramp wouldn't cut it. No equalizers gave me the sound balance options I needed either.
If I absolutely have to I guess I could do a factory reset of my phone, but that's the last thing I want to do as it would be a huge hassle to transfer all the music/pictures/apps back onto the phone.

I saw an Android tip that said "Use the power button to end a call", but it needed to be turned on in the Accessibility menu. When I got to Settings->Accessibility, it is grayed out and it says "Downloaded accessibility application is required to activate". What app do I need to download to enable this accessibility setting?

I've googled stuff about any IDE or at least an app for android that would be able to compile, but then I ended up with nothing. I've heard Surface Pro would support Visual Studio, so I thought, wouldn't the Android be able to handle that too? I would go for the Surface Pro but rumor has it that the starting price would be $900, and that hurts my pocket. Are there any Android apps or hacks that would enable me to compile even the simplest console applications? I was thinking of getting a tablet instead of a laptop for my programming classes.

I'd like to set up Android SDK with Netbeans or Visual Studio 2010. I am coming back to Windows programming after 3 months on Apple iMac (for iPhone programming).Would somebody be able to explain how to set up the NetBeans environment so I can compile and test Android Apps directly form NetBeans.I will be testing on a simulator, not a real device. My platform is Windows 7 Ultimate.It seems I can't use Eclipse even if I wanted to. It can't find the Java VM DLL.

A user sent me a screenshot of visual artifacting on droid. Apparently it only happens with multi-texturing enabled. --> Screenshot: http://adamhammer.ca/images/stories/cap201008140037.jpg
If I understand correctly though the GPU in the Droid 1 is ES2.0 Compliant, so it should have at least 2 texture units, any idea why I'm getting this weird look in my app on the Droid 1?

I thought ADT should come with a visual editor for building GUI : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/851882/easy-way-to-build-android-ui However, I just cannot find it. I was wondering where is the Visual Editor for Eclipse with the ADT plugin. I can run HelloWorld application without problem. However, whenever I click on main.xml at the left navigation tree layout folder, here is what I get. What I wish to get is a WYSIWYG editor.

Can you use Visual Studio for Android Development?
If so how would you set the android SDK instead of .NET framework and are there any special settings or configuration?

When you disable a button, it becomes greyed out. However with the Spinner, the same UI principle does not hold. Just wondered if it is a bug.

What are the display semantics for displaying preference defaults? I have been expecting that the first time the app is run, that when the preference activity and its screens appear that any default values say in a list preference are visually indicated as selected. This is not the case in my app, and I think I'm doing everything the same way as the DefaultValues.java example. Is the idea that only those preferences that have actually been set and persisted by the user display selected values?
