    <p>I am developing an accessible android application where people would be using Explore by Touch and TalkBack accessibility services to use my application. </p> <p>This is my Android XML code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/LinearLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical"&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/forename" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="20dip" android:layout_marginLeft="15dip" android:textSize="20sp" android:text="@string/forenameText" android:contentDescription="@null"/&gt; &lt;EditText android:id="@+id/EditTextForename" android:layout_width="285dp" android:layout_height="65dp" android:layout_marginTop="10dip" android:layout_marginLeft="15dip" android:hint="@string/forenameHint" android:inputType="textPersonName" android:lines="1" android:singleLine="true" android:textSize="20sp" &gt; &lt;/EditText&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>strings.xml</p> <pre><code>&lt;string name="forenameText"&gt;Forename&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="forenameHint"&gt;Enter your forename here&lt;/string&gt; </code></pre> <p>TextView displays the title "Forename" and EditText allows me to enter some details in the form field. The problem I have is that when I drag my finger across the screen by using Explore by Touch, TalkBack picks up the title of the TextView and announces it aloud as "Forename". I want the TextView to only display text and not provide any audible feedback.</p> <p>I have set contentDescription to @null as you can see from the code above, but TalkBack still announces "Forename" when my finger is located over the TextView.</p> <p>I have also tried setting contentDescription in my Java class:</p> <pre><code>TextView forename=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.forename); forename.setContentDescription(""); </code></pre> <p>However, I still get the same problem. Is there any other way to set contentDescription to null/empty and prevent TalkBack from announcing it aloud?</p> <p>Java code:</p> <pre><code>public class MainActivity extends Activity{ protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); View forename = findViewById(R.id.forename); forename.setAccessibilityDelegate(new AccessibilityDelegate() { public boolean performAccessibilityAction (View host, int action, Bundle args){ return true; } }); } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
