Hello everyone!
I am new to Xamarin and was just wondering if anyone knows how to make voiceover jump to a modal being opened.
The behaviour I expected was:
Voiceover would jump to the first element in the accessibility tree on the new page
Instead I am just stuck on the tabbar until I put my device to sleep and then wake it up again. At this point it will jump to the "More" page.
Is there any way I can get my expected behaviour?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TabbedPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" xmlns:d="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms/design" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Accessible;assembly=Accessible" mc:Ignorable="d" x:Class="Accessible.MainPage"> <NavigationPage Title="Page one" IconImageSource="person.png" AutomationProperties.IsInAccessibleTree="True" AutomationProperties.HelpText="Open page one"> <x:Arguments> <local:Page1/> </x:Arguments> </NavigationPage> <NavigationPage Title="Page two" IconImageSource="person.png" AutomationProperties.IsInAccessibleTree="True" AutomationProperties.HelpText="Open page two"> <x:Arguments> <local:Page2/> </x:Arguments> </NavigationPage> <NavigationPage Title="Page three" IconImageSource="person.png" AutomationProperties.IsInAccessibleTree="True" AutomationProperties.HelpText="Open page three"> <x:Arguments> <local:Page3/> </x:Arguments> </NavigationPage> <NavigationPage Title="Page four" IconImageSource="person.png" AutomationProperties.IsInAccessibleTree="True" AutomationProperties.HelpText="Open page four"> <x:Arguments> <local:Page4/> </x:Arguments> </NavigationPage> <NavigationPage Title="Page three" IconImageSource="person.png" AutomationProperties.IsInAccessibleTree="True" AutomationProperties.HelpText="Open page three"> <x:Arguments> <local:Page3/> </x:Arguments> </NavigationPage> <NavigationPage Title="Page one" IconImageSource="person.png" AutomationProperties.IsInAccessibleTree="True" AutomationProperties.HelpText="Open page one"> <x:Arguments> <local:Page1/> </x:Arguments> </NavigationPage> </TabbedPage>

Sorry,I don't quite understand what your meaning . And what does the word of
voiceover
mean?Could you please explain it in more details?
If you have more than five tabs in an application, the button farthest to the right will become like a menu button. When you press it, a modal page will open with a listview of the remaining tabs.
If you are using the voiceover feature of accessibility (screen reader) I expect that, when you navigate to the menu button, the screen reader should jump to the first element in the newly opened modal page. Instead it will just stop on the menu button.
I want the screen reader to jump to the new modal page and read the first element.
I hope this explains it better.
Thanks
