I'm using a UINavigationController in my app. When using VoiceOver the backButton has the focus, when a new ViewController is pushed.
I'd rather have the accessibilityLabel of the titleView been focused if the view appears, so that its accessibilityLabel is read first.
Using UIAccessibilityPostNotification(UIAccessibilityScreenChangedNotification, self.navigationItem);
the titleView seems to be focused, when I create and push the view controller for the first time.
But when I come back from another view controller (pushed onto the first one), the focus is on the back button again.
I should've set the the accessibilityLabel of the titleView, not the navigationItem. The following works:
- (void) viewDidLoad
{
...
self.navigationItem.titleView.accessibilityLabel = @"[text-to-speak]";
}
- (void) viewDidAppear
{
[super viewDidAppear];
UIAccessibilityPostNotification(UIAccessibilityScreenChangedNotification, self.navigationItem.titleView);
}
