I'm looking for some help on how to make an Air application accessible to the blind. Its required that I use the screen reader functionality that comes built into android called TalkBack.
After researching I have failed to find anything useful. I did find out that you can check if the device has accessibility aids using "Capabilities.hasAccessibility()" however that returns False even when the device does have aids and they are turned on (Accessibility.active is also set to False when TalkBack is active). I also found out that you could give a Display object AccessibilityProperties such as a name and a description that I assumed the screen reader would use. However, It doesn't work. I have also used the Accessibility.updateProperties() after adding the properties and still no luck. I also tried adding the permissions to the manifest for READ_PHONE_STATE (although I'm not really sure if that's what its meant for) but again no joy.
I'm using Actionscript 3 only. Not flex.
Any help would be appreciated.
