What

Agreed Technologies

Android

HTML5, JS, CSS (phonegap) - rapid application development. Sam is good at this :)

Git- for Sam w/ frontend and website code

perfect for quick html, js, css code snippets being pushed to webservers etc.

this code can be git cloned to the webroot folder and managed independantly form the main android code.

SVN- for Paul w/ android code ++ integrates will with eclipse. (maybe add the 'webroot' folder in the phonegap build to ignored directories and let git handle it?

A journey of 1000miles begins with the first step! Let's get on with it.

How to Make Your Application Accessible

It would be great to be able to give you a standard recipe for accessibility, but the truth of the matter is that the right answer depends on the design and functionality of your application. Here are some key steps for ensuring that your application is accessible:

Task flows: Design well-defined, clear task flows with minimal navigation steps, especially for major user tasks, and make sure those tasks are navigable via focus controls (see item 4).

Action target size: Make sure buttons and selectable areas are of sufficient size for users to easily touch them, especially for critical actions. How big? We recommend that touch targets be 48dp (roughly 9mm) or larger.

Label user interface controls: Label user interface components that do not have visible text, especially ImageButton, ImageView, and EditText components. Use the android:contentDescription XML layout attribute or setContentDescription() to provide this information for accessibility services.

Enable focus-based navigation: Make sure users can navigate your screen layouts using hardware-based or software directional controls (D-pads, trackballs and keyboards). In a few cases, you may need to make UI components focusable or change the focus order to be more logical.

Use framework-provided controls: Use Android's built-in user interface controls whenever possible, as these components provide accessibility support by default.

Custom view controls: If you build custom interface controls for your application, implement accessibility interfaces for your custom views and provide text labels for the controls.

Test: Checking off the items on this list doesn’t guarantee your app is accessible. Test accessibility by attempting to navigate your application using directional controls, and also try eyes free navigation with the TalkBack service enabled.
