Skip content on Xamarin

It can be helpful for users to skip repeated blocks of content. Most apps have content which appears on multiple screens. It takes longer for users of using assistive technologies to get navigate past repeated content. Adding the ability to skip past repeated content helps these users to navigate quicker.

In Xamarin, skipping content is mostly relevant to TalkBack and VoiceOver users. Both screen readers include shortcuts which allows users to jump to content types, such as headers and links.

Provide appropriate accessibility markup to your content by using SemanticEffect.

<controls:CustomFontLabel
    xct:SemanticEffect.HeadingLevel="1"
    xct:SemanticEffect.Description="Link" />
