Accessibility live region on Xamarin
A live region allows users of assistive technologies to receive updates whenever important information on the screen changes.
Xamarin Forms does not have built-in support to indicate an accessibility live region. By using Effects
it is possible to implement platform specific behaviour. The A11YEffect
, A11YEffect for Android
and A11YEffect for iOS
files show how to implement an effect
to replicate an accessibility live region.
<controls:CustomFontLabel
effects:A11YEffect.ControlType="{OnPlatform iOS=LiveUpdate, Android=LiveUpdate}" />
