Hello Listers, 1. Are there any accessibility shortcomings that can be uncovered by using a switch access method that cannot be discovered when using an external keyboard with an Android device? 2. Sometimes that an element is a heading or a button is conveyed via android:contentDescription. As a result the item is not discoverable / navigable using a selection via TalkBack's local context setting. This in effect impairs the ability to use a documented accessibility feature so is an accessibility failure directly transgressing a requirement for software accessibility IMO. However, "Don't include the type of UI element in the content description" is merely noted as a best practice at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/accessibility/apps.html. Thanks in advance for your thoughts / opinions on the above two items. Best regards, Sailesh
