| <p>Many Android users have different abilities that require them to interact with their Android |
| devices in different ways. These include users who have visual, physical or age-related limitations |
| that prevent them from fully seeing or using a touchscreen, and users with hearing loss who may not |
| be able to perceive audible information and alerts.</p> |
| |
| <p>Android provides accessibility features and services for helping these users navigate their |
| devices more easily, including text-to-speech, haptic feedback, gesture navigation, trackball and |
| directional-pad navigation. Android application developers can take advantage of these services to |
| make their applications more accessible.</p> |
| |
| <p>Android developers can also build their own accessibility services, which can provide |
| enhanced usability features such as audio prompting, physical feedback, and alternative navigation |
| modes. Accessibility services can provide these enhancements for all applications, a set of |
| applications or just a single app.</p> |
| |
| <p>The following topics show you how to use the Android framework to make applications more |
| accessible.</p> |
