I received an email a few days ago, where I had a request for the Book Dash Android app to support “Switch Access”. To be honest, I had no idea what this email meant. My first thought was, “Hey, this will never run on a Nintendo Switch” but I realised that this probably wasn’t what they were requesting. After doing a bit more research on what exactly Switch Access is in Android, I realised there isn’t a lot of information around the Android Accessibility feature. Hopefully after reading through this blog post you will be interested in making sure your app is Switch Access compatible.
This past week I was in Kraków for the Google Developer Days Europe Conference and the Google Developer Experts Summit. There was a lot to learn about new technology and I enjoyed meeting and spending time with many developers from across the globe. I didn’t know much about Kraków before visiting but I’m really thankful to have spent the past week there, exploring the area, having great conversations and eating lots of pierogis!
