View is not accessible by talkback after animation

Question

Facing a very strange issue and not able to find any solution here or any other blogs.

Initially, a view is invisible and using AlphaAnimation and ScaleAnimation making it visible.

Animation Code

public void scaleView(View v, int delay) {

        AnimationSet animatorSet = new AnimationSet(true);
        animatorSet.setFillAfter(true);
        animatorSet.setInterpolator(new LinearOutSlowInInterpolator());

        AlphaAnimation animation1 = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f);
        animation1.setDuration(200);
        animation1.setStartOffset(delay);

        ScaleAnimation fadeIn = new ScaleAnimation(0.5f, 1f, 0.5f, 1f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
        fadeIn.setDuration(200);
        fadeIn.setStartOffset(delay);

        animatorSet.addAnimation(animation1);
        animatorSet.addAnimation(fadeIn);

        animatorSet.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
                v.setImportantForAccessibility(View.IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_YES);
                v.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED);
            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {

            }
        });


        v.startAnimation(animatorSet);

    }

View

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        <LinearLayout

        android:minHeight="@dimen/dp_48">

        <ImageView

        <View
        style="@style/ShadowVertical"
        android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/dp_10"
        android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/dp_10" />

        <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtFacebook"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:text="@string/lbl_login_with_facebook"
        android:textColor="@color/white"
        android:textSize="@dimen/sp_16" />
        </LinearLayout>

        <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imgLoginWithFacebook"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignStart="@+id/llLoginWithFacebook"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/llLoginWithFacebook"
        android:layout_alignEnd="@id/llLoginWithFacebook"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@id/llLoginWithFacebook"
        android:background="@drawable/bg_ripple_32" />

    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

My efforts on making it accessible

1) Added Content Description:

android:contentDescription="@string/lbl_login_with_facebook"

2) Adding a content description in view is enough but still, it was not working so after animation add I add focus and told the compiler that it is important by the following snippet:

v.setImportantForAccessibility(View.IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_YES);
v.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED);

But still, no luck to get focus. Can anyone help me to figure out how to make it accessible?

Answer 1

I think you have a simple mistake in your code. Try changing this:

v.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED);

to this

v.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_ACCESSIBILITY_FOCUSED);
