Accessibility - Main Screen - Missing Heading

[jfc3-dol]

Why is there no heading on this page? I would expect the text “Sweat & Toil’ to be a heading so people using TalkBack can it to navigate the page with.

Talk Balk reads the Sweat & Toil heading on our device. What phone and Android version were used when it was not behaving like a heading?

Unlike iOS VoiceOver, Android TalkBack does not automatically announce/identify headings as such, including screen titles and tab titles; this must be added explicitly by the developer. We will add heading indicators (in "alt tags") in as many places as time permits-- in some cases this will be easy, in other cases it very much will not be (also applies to #22, #30, #31, #36, #37, #39, #40, #42, and #43).

I reviewed the ILAB 'Sweat and Toil' application on OPA's 'Galaxy Tab S' and an ILAB employees 'LG Tribute 2' and both did not read any headings.

From my understanding two of the 'More information' screens (About the App and Methodology) where HTML pages and had the headings in them.

I thought the OSHA 'Heat Index' application had similar screens and the headings with their proper level were read for HTML screens before. The other Android screens that had what equated to headings were read too.

I checked the repository for the (unpublished) Android version of the OSHA 'Heat Index' application and didn't see any added accessibility code/configuration. Could you confirm that the behavior you are remembering was for the Android version of the app? If so, maybe we can find out how they did it.

Should this one be closed like the similar screen title heading issues?
