Accessibility has become personal for me. I am getting older, and large type is no longer an abstract preference somebody else needs. It is how I read a phone comfortably.
What is Codename One? Codename One is an open-source framework for building native iOS, Android, desktop, and web apps from a single Java or Kotlin codebase. Learn more at codenameone.com.
I worked with accessibility experts at Sun Microsystems and learned how deep the problem goes. A label is the easy part. Real accessibility needs roles, values, ranges, actions, traversal order, live announcements, collections, focus, platform conventions, and a way to test all of it. That complexity is why full Codename One accessibility support sat dormant for a decade.
We eventually added setAccessibilityText(). It was useful, but it was the poor man's version. PR #5363 replaces that single-label model with a portable semantics tree we can be proud of.
Lightweight UI needs a second tree
