Issues with Play Store Accessibility Reports

Targets Android
1

I’m struggling a bit with modifying my App to meet Google’s accessibility criteria regarding contrast.
Basically, I can’t control the font colour in many of the UI objects, or the screen Title font colour.

Ideally, I’d like to darken the MobileButton backgrounds and the text in the MobileSegmentedButtons. However, the only settings that appear to affect these are the App Mobile Settings; by setting the Theme Color Name to Custom, I can alter the Theme Primary Color, Theme Accent Color, and Theme Status Bar Color.

However, if I darken the Theme Primary Color, my App Toolbars are included and there’s no way to change the Title text colour. Therefore by increasing the contrast of the application buttons to make them more readable, I have to take the hit of it being increasingly difficult to see the Screen titles.

Are there any workarounds for this?

Also, just a general comment: there are so many instances in the documentation where apparently useful methods and properties say “This is supported for iOS only”, it would be much better if the help could be filtered to the target OS.

You should take a look at the Android Design Extensions. They give you lots of options to design your Xojo Android UI.

Accessibility reports are only warnings in most cases.
You can generally ignore them if you find the contrast is good enough on your device.

That’s useful to know - thanks. Are these likely to become part of Xojo, or will some of the features eventually become redundant as Xojo is developed further?

That’s good to know - thanks.
I’ve added plenty of Accessibility Hints for all fields and buttons, but to be honest the intended application is for inspection and the relevant qualifications all have minimum eyesight requirements.
