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,
