Android Accessibility issues

I have couple of issues in the process of making my app accessibility compliant.

  1. I have a spinner with some items in it, after I select one of the item, spinner closes and focus is moving to the top of the page action bar but I want the focus to remain on the last used element i.e, the spinner. Tried:

    spinnerId.requestfocus(); or spinnerId.performAccessibilityAction(AccessibilityNodeInfo.ACTION_ACCESSIBILITY_FOCUS,null); in the code but nothing worked.

2.How can I set the focus to last accessed element even if onResume(); is called to refresh the data ?

3.Page reverse order doesn't work all the time when I scroll back through the elements.

4.I have a listview with elements populated dynamically, accessibility doesn't scroll the page all the times instead it goes to right fragment( i have left and right fragments in my tablet) skipping the elements below the screen.

As your spinner is already focus, you have to clear this focus, send this event to Accessibility and request it again:

yourView.clearFocus();
yourView.sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED);
yourView.requestFocus();
yourView.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);

He took me awhile to find this tricks, but we used it in few different place in our app, and it work well.
