Workshop: Thinking in Accessibility with Compose

Assistive technology makes our apps very inclusive for all users from various spectrums. It is relatively hard sometimes to make an existing app accessible. Still, if we have some knowledge of our accessibility APIs and with some empathy, we can seamlessly support a11y (Accessibility) for every new UI we write. This workshop will give you the tools and techniques to plan your UI-building workflow to support accessibility from day one.

Hands-on
* Experience using the app with assistive technology
* Build a subscription page from scratch using Compose
* Making it accessible - fonts sizes and talkback

Key knowledge and takeaways
* The need to make our apps accessible
* Understanding the tools offered by Android for a11y
* Compose APIs for Accessibility
* Case study on WeTransfer Android team's a11y journey
* Making custom views accessible
* Accessibility as part of our UI building development workflow
* Building UI with Accessibility in mind


If you are curious and looking for what Jetpack Compose offers for accessibility, if you are looking to make your apps accessible and looking for a head start, or if you want to get prepared to make your app accessible soon, this workshop is for you.
