Accessibility Check fail when using TextInputLayout

Question

I\'m using the new TextInputLayout provided by Android.support to do floating label. But it will fail Espresso Accessibility Check because \"View is missing speakable text n

Answer 1

A great way to make TextInputLayout accessible is to use "LabelFor" as recommanded by ChrisCM, but you don't have to add an invisible label view to do so: Just put the labelFor or your Textinputlayout and make it point to your EditText

Example:

This way you get the exact same visual behaviour and make "Espresso Accessibility Check" and Talkback happy :)

(To make TextInputLayout fully accessible I also added android:accessibilityliveregion on the TextInputLayout element to trigger talkback whenever the error is poping)

A big thanks to this post this blog post which helped a lot
