iOS Question Accessibility for Google Maps

Andrew (Digitwell) · Oct 10, 2019

I'm adding accessibility to my app which seems to be a bit more difficult on iOS then it is on Android...

Google maps does not respond to the screen reader at all. However, I found this referencehttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/43874391/getting-accessible-markers-in-google-maps-in-ios

mapsView.accessibilityElementsHidden = false

marker.accessibilityLabel = "marker Accessibility label"
marker.icon.accessibilityLabel = "marker icon accessibility label"

How would I do this from B4i?

Thanks

Try this:

B4X:

Dim no As NativeObject = gmap
no.SetField("accessibilityElementsHidden", False)
'...
no = marker
no.SetField("accessibilityLabel", "aaa")
no.GetField("icon").SetField("accessibilityLabel", "bbb")
