Accessibility Callback - when talkback finish reading announcement

Question

On some user action, I want to make some announcement on the screen and soon after, I want to shift accessibility focus on the specifc view.

I can achieve it like,

 view!!.announceForAccessibility("some action failed.")
  Handler().postDelayed({
         specificView.requestFocus() 
    specificView.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED)
   }, 1000)

But this is just a workaround. It may fail in some case when a user has customized speaking rate etc.

Is there any way where we can get a callback when talkback finish with reading announcement?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if it's a correct solution or not but this worked for me.

 specificView.contentDescriotion = "text you need to annonce"
 specificView.requestFocus()
 specificView.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED)
 Handler().postDelayed({
     specificView.contentDescriotion = "actual content description for that view"
 }, 300)

Making an announcement to the content description for a view that you want to focus.
