Description

Hi there, I've just installed the amaze file manager and I'm trying to use it with screen reader (google talkback) on android 13.
I'm kind of finding this file manager pretty hard to use because of its interface.

here are the challanges that I face:

  • unlabeled buttons on main screen
  • the button to open cloud connection was difficult to reach with screen reader (located in bottum right corner, maybe new button or something)
    -hard to focus new window (where file, folder and cloud connection are shown)

could you please address these issues?

or would you be willing to accept the PR if I raise?

these issues can be easily solved with little bit of efforts. you may use google accessibility scanner to find the accessiblity bugs and fix them.

google accessbility scanner

hoping for your response.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Reproduce the issue on Android 13 with Google TalkBack and run Google Accessibility Scanner against the main screen and new window; done means the listed buttons are labeled, the cloud connection control is reachable, and focus moves to the new window.
