How to set accessibility for programmatic tableView?

[Abbey Jackson]

In my project I have a tableView that is created entirely programmatically. I have tried various ways of setting the accessibility label but when I use a breakpoint and po self.tableView.accessibilitylabel I get:

error: property 'accessibilityLabel' not found on object of type 'UITableView *'

error: 1 errors parsing expression

I have tried doing it in viewDidLoad where the rowHeight, color, etc are set. 

I have also tried doing it in initWithStyle where the title of table is set.

I have used only

self.tableView.accessibilitylabel = @"label";

and I have also tried

self.tableView.isAccessibilityElement = YES; 

self.tableView.accessibilitylabel = @"label";

 

Not sure what else to try. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

I'm out meeting a friend for a beer, but when I get back on my laptop I'll send you some examples.

I didn't realize I was replying to the KIF discussion list. Doh!

You will need to give the table itself an accessibility identifier.

Either in the storyboard or in code. 

You should also be familiar with NSIndexPath. 

[tester tapRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:2] inTableViewWithAccessibilityIdentifier:@"TableView Tests Table"];

Yes but that is the problem, I can’t figure out how to give it an accessibility label. The methods I’ve seen (see first message) are not working because when I po what the accessibility label is, I get the error "error: property 'accessibilityLabel' not found on object of type 'UITableView *’”

This view controller is 100% programatic so it must be done in code.

Any ideas?

On the UITableView object, in code where the table is constructed...

myTableView.isAccessibilityEnabled=YES;

myTableView.accessibilityIdentifier = @"someTableViewName";

Notice I am using identifier, not label.

In KIF you will use [tester tapRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:2]  inTableViewWithAccessibilityIdentifier:@"someTableViewName"];

It will work.

Oh!!! I didn’t realize it was identifier and not label. THANK YOU. I’ve been trying to figure this out off and on all day.

You can access Tableview Cell for accessing the accesisibility of lable.
