Initial VoiceOver selection

问题

I'm adding VoiceOver support to my app. So far, so good, but I'd really like to be able to specify which element is the first one spoken after a UIAccessibilityScreenChangedNotification. I haven't seen a way to do this. Making something the summary element doesn't really seem to do it. Am I missing something?

THis has always been perfectly possible to do.

Just write something along the lines of:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];

    UIAccessibilityPostNotification(UIAccessibilityScreenChangedNotification,
                                self.myFirstElement);
}
@end

This works for both the UIAccessibilityScreenChangedNotification and the UIAccessibilityLayoutChangedNotification.

I don't think there is an API value that specifies an order of reading, other than using Summary Element value on startup - it is by design.

So you would have to test the order and default for the UIKit elements or any custom controls, because it depends on your design. You can also mark items as non-accessible elements so they won't be 'read', accessible elements read by default, and containers for accessible elements to allow you to better control your intended interactions. I don't know if making the item selected will help.

I take it you are already using the Accessibility Inspector to test your application before testing on iOS.

If you are needing some background on the subject, Rune's Working With VoiceOver Support and Gemmell's Accessibility for Apps may be worth reading.
