RetroArch does not work on Android devices with TalkBack?

Hello. I’m low vision and traying to activate te accessibility features in my Android devices. But with TalkBack runing the speach not start automatically. I accessed the retroarch.cfg, change the acessibility to enabled, but it not starts. Including the accessibility meno not apear. Have some idea?

These hapens in a Powkiddy X18s, Tclast P80X, and a Sansung Galaxy S20FE.

Thanks.

Hello,

According to this issue, you should be able to get some feedback from Talkback for the menu and dialogs.

In RetroArch’s GUI, there are no elements that a screen reader or accessibility service can access. This is fine, since RetroArch speaks menus and dialogs from itself using TalkBack

It seems to be confirmed by this commit.

Which version are using ? Can you try to make a test with this APK or F-Droid as Google Play package is outdated.

Thank you.

OK! Worked! I was using Play Store versiom. Thanks!

But I still having one problem. These hapens in a iOS or Android device. The virtual keyboard that Retroarch uses to tipe things in the system, including the URL, in IA services, aren’t readed by voice system. I can’t type the URL to have ia services. I think that cam be solved in future versions, since the menus are readed, I think that has a possibiliti to virtual keyboar are readed to.

Thanks!
