Issues accessibility Xamarin forms Gesture recognizer - External Keyboard - Android

Viswa_007

I could see that the tap gesture recognizer added to an element is not accessible(Talkback) through keyboard on android. Trying to do accessibility test using external keyboard and do a click (alt + enter) on the element having tap gesture recognizer work, it doesn't work.

Checked with sample app from Xamarin Forms, it won't work there also.

Please help me with pointer on making the tap gesture recognizers / links in a Xamarin forms app work in Android ( it works in iOS).

@Viswa_007 , as a workaround, you could use ImageButton instead. eg:

<ImageButton Source="XamarinLogo.png"
                    HorizontalOptions="Center"
                    VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
                    Clicked="OnImageButtonClicked" />

PS: how did you test the Gesture recognizer function in iOS by external keyboard? I tried do a click by alt + enter, but it didn't work.
