Subject: [Android] [PATCH] Accessibility improvements for audio/video lists
Message-ID: <20260118090541.1307-1-aryanchoudharyk2008@gmail.com>

Hello VideoLAN Android Team,
I am submitting a patch to improve the TalkBack experience in the media browser and player lists.
The Problem: Currently, list items require excessive swiping to access common actions (like "More options"), and the interface does not expose quick actions like "Remove from favorites" or "Seek" directly to accessibility services.
The Fix: This patch implements AccessibilityDelegateCompat to:
1. 
Add Custom Accessibility Actions (Seek, Favorite, Play Next, etc.) directly to the list items.
2. 
Hide the redundant "More" button from TalkBack focus (IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO) to reduce clutter.
3. 
Dynamically update action labels (e.g., swapping "Add to favorites" with "Remove from favorites" based on state).
I am submitting this via the mailing list as I am unable to create an account on code.videolan.org at the moment.
Best regards, Aryan

Subject: [Android] [PATCH v2] Accessibility: Add custom actions to lists
 (play, Favorite, etc.)
Message-ID: <20260118101337.797-1-aryanchoudharyk2008@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
- Moved AccessibilityDelegate to onBindViewHolder to fix actions disappearing on scroll.

Hello VideoLAN Android Team,
I am submitting a patch to improve the TalkBack experience in the media browser and player lists.
The Problem: Currently, list items require excessive swiping to access common actions (like "More options"), and the interface does not expose quick actions like "Remove from favorites" or "Seek" directly to accessibility services.
The Fix: This patch implements AccessibilityDelegateCompat to:
1. 
Add Custom Accessibility Actions (Seek, Favorite, Play Next, etc.) directly to the list items.
2. 
Hide the redundant "More" button from TalkBack focus (IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO) to reduce clutter.
3. 
Dynamically update action labels (e.g., swapping "Add to favorites" with "Remove from favorites" based on state).
I am submitting this via the mailing list as I am unable to create an account on code.videolan.org at the moment.
Best regards, Aryan
