Managing TalkBack via Code

[Aymeric]

Hey, I'm making an audio game with Unity. There won’t be any buttons, art, etc. everything will be on audio, and we will just use the screen for touch / gesture.

Blind people use TalkBack on Android. At the moment, they have to disable it to launch the game and be able to play in. If TalkBack is still activated, it grabs all the gesture and so nothing goes on Unity side, and unfortunately they can’t play. Also there might be some kind of in app billing, or social media sharer inside the app. But for this, we need to handle TalkBack.

I’m not sure where should I start looking and finally if what I need is doable or not :
- if TalkBack is enable, may I disable / let the touch/gesture go to Unity (via a native plugin using Java) ?
- may I turn it again when needed, so a blind people is able to listen In App Purchase, sharer for social media etc.

Any hints will be very welcomed!

Cheers

How is it that TalkBack's overlays for global/local context work? I
wonder if similar overlays for your game screen might be constructed.
These at least seem to behave differently and more game-friendly in that
they don't require double-taps to interact with.

Any progress?

what is the name of your app? I'd be interested in providing feedback

Thanks
