Appreciate any info you get when you get a chance to play with their phone. The Nexus 7 is a bit below where the iPhone 3GS was when it was released. I’m not sure how much of that is me having a harder time with larger screen devices though, I find an iPad much more difficult to use then my iPhone. I’m probably going to get a used Nexus 4 dirt cheap and will actually try using it as my primary phone for a while. I should really see if the newest version of Android Studio is still completely inaccessible. One nice thing about Android is that it is quite easy to program for when blind using the Eclipse based tools.
- mikestew 13y agoWow, I just tried the latest build of Android Studio (0.5.something) out of idle curiosity. Even on Mac OS X, which from my POV has great accessibility at the OS level, you just get big containers without any visibility to the items inside. As a sighted user, this annoys me as well because that (usually) means there are no keyboard shortcuts to work within those containers. Contrast to Xcode, where there's a shortcut for everything and VoiceOver seems to be much more informative. For all my complaints about Eclipse, you're right, it seems to be much better for accessibility than Android Studio. Too bad sometime down the road Google is going to switch to Android Studio (granted, Android Studio is worlds better in a lot of other respects). Though at the rate they're going, it should be a while. :-)

See the following for info on the Java Access Bridge which is Windows only. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index-jsp-136191.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index-jsp...
