Hi Janusz, I’m not sure that the Qt example apps try to cover accessibility. At least in the past, I remember that they were more trying to test a single concept. Take a look at the QuickForecast app. Code is available: http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-labs/weather-app.git/ You can also download it from the Play and App store to see how well it works. Illustrating accessibility with QML, Android and iOS was one of the goals for this app. Best regards, -- Trenton -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

At least in the past, I remember that they were more trying to test a single concept. It could be argued that even single concepts have to be accessible.

I live in Brno. I have successfully installed and used QT 5.5 32 bit Windows release for Android. I have been and I Am still able to compile included sample applications. And thanks to Yours included sample C++ apps, I have found out The big issue related to QT 5.5 and may be that also alpha version of QT 6.0. If C++ developer will use QT markup language to develop The GUI of QT app, this app will be totally inaccessible while running Android 4.1.2 and maybe that also in The newest Android stable release. My kind plea is, why is not possible to create new QT accessibility plugin, which will enable visually impaired users use also QT apps written by using QT markup language. It is possible to use QT apps written by using QT creator, or if GUI is being created directly inside .cpp source files. But QT markup language GUI technique do not allow talkback and other assistive technology to work with this kind of GUI. How complex would be to support also QT markup language based QT apps for ANdroid? Thank You very much for Yours answers. With kindness regards. Mgr.

Indeed it can (and I agree with the argument). But, I’m looking at what is available. I know that the last version of QuickForcast is a testbed to prove multiple concepts, one of them is Accessibility. It also had a user test to look at accessibility issues (http://publications.nr.no/1418390459/DART-13-2014-BestApps-UserEval-Results-Schulz.pdf). I know this since I was involved in these activities. I think it would be great to have more examples of good accessibility in code, but QuickForecast is a good start. -- Trenton Schulz Senior Research Scientist Norwegian Computing Center From ernesta at tiscali.cz Mon Sep 14 14:42:06 2015 From: ernesta at tiscali.cz (Mgr.

Ihave though, that only apps which have been created in QT creator can produce accessible results. In Qt 5.5 Android example, Radio app is accessible and developers are using .cpp file to create parts of GUI. I Am sad, that Wiziq app, which maybe have been also created in QT IDe is totallyinaccessible. I can not determine from The users perspective, if they were used QT markup language or no, becauseI can not determine itby searching inside .apk package. I Am only sad, that some developers do not use accessibility infrastructure. --- Tato zpráva byla zkontrolována na viry programem Avast Antivirus. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
