Read current page title with screen reader when push/pop a page

JonAlza

I'm developing an app for blind or visually impaired people using Xamarin.Forms. I have a NavigationPage with the title X, and when the app starts talkback reads the title X. I have 4 pages that can be navigated to with A, B, C and D titles. I would like that when navigating through different pages, the screen reader would read the title of the page. Is it possible?

For example, if I switch on talkback on Android and I navigate through settings pages, talkback reads all page titles. I want to do something similar.

For this, you can check the official document Xamarin.Forms Accessibility

From Automation Properties in Xamarin.Forms,we know that Xamarin.Forms allows accessibility values to be set on user interface elements by using attached properties from the AutomationProperties class, which in turn set native accessibility values. This article explains how to use the AutomationProperties class, so that a screen reader can speak about the elements on the page.

For more details, you can check: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/accessibility/automation-properties

And there is a sample about this, you can check it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/userinterface-accessibility/

Hope it can help you.
