WebView with javascript enabled is not accessible to talkback screen reader

[Sérgio Neves]

Hi,
I have samsung galaxy III mini with android 4.1.2 and talkback 3.3.2.
I need to implement an activity which comprises an WebView with
javascript enabled, so that I can access the DOM.
When I don't enable javascript, talkback screen reader doesn't have
problem reading the text present in WebView. However, when I enable
javascript with:
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
it seems the application becomes less responsive with talkback enabled
and the text is not announced when I navigate through it.
Do you know what leads to this situation and if there is something I can
do to improve it?
Do you know what controls besides WebView we can use to show HTML pages
with javascript enabled, so that we can access the DOM?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
S�rgio Neves

This is because the web scripts use java script to read the page. The real way to fix this is that the default web engine needs to expose its contents without using web scripts the way firefox does.
