Question

I am developing an accessible app. For this purpose it is important that all elements of the interface can obtain the focus correctly, so that they can be read by Talckback.
I build a PreferenceActivity with a ListView inside, like in this question Preference List only shows first element

It works perfect in touch mode, but when I try to access to the ListView with the Talckback activated (It’s like I try to get Focused the ListView), It doesn’t work like I expected. I want the children of the list get the focus, not the entire list gets the focus.

I have an additional problem, the two ListViews inside my PreferenceActivity has scroll, and the scroll is not working right. Can I make the ListView no scrollable?

Thanks
