Prevent voice over (Accessibility) from announcing UITableViewCell as selected
accessibility, ios, uiaccessibility, uitableview, voiceover
Solution
The only work around is prevent cell selection
- (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
{
return nil;
}
Add a Tap gesture on the cell and when the cell is tapped, do the what ever you want in cell selection inside the tap gesture.
Problem
When a UITableViewCell is selected, voice over announces "selected", I don't want voice over to say "selected". How can i achieve this ? Things I have tried with no success: - Changed the cell `accessibilityHint` and `accessibilityLabel` - Changed the cell `selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone` - changed the cell `accessibilityTraits = UIAccessibilityTraitButton` Question: - I don't want voice over to say "selected" when a cell is selected. How can i achieve this ?
