What is that thing called where it shows a coloured circle around a button or a corner having a text which describes what does that button do.. when the user opens the app for the first time

[Md Sohail]

Something like this may be

[Md Sohail]

I want to implement something like this because my app is being rejected for this reason, any idea how can i fix this warning? Please help

The "big circle" thing was mentioned in Material UI 1 & 2 guidelines and was usually called a "feature discovery prompt", although I don't think there was ever an official implementation of it. There are a few third-party attempts like this one. The pattern has seemingly vanished from the Material UI 3 guidelines 🤷.

I also don't want to use this but, my app is getting rejected and i don't know how can i get rid of that warning

[Sam]

If you're getting a content labelling warning from the accessibility report, it could well be because you need to provide a description for screenreaders

[Sam]

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/accessibility/apps#describe-ui-element

[Sam]

For each UI element in your app, include a description that describes the element's purpose. In most cases, you include this description in the element's contentDescription attribute.

[Sam]

So it's probably not talking about visual changes

[Sam]

Doesn't the report include more details of what the problem is?

[Md Sohail]

No it doesn't

[Md Sohail]

that's the problem

[Md Sohail]

This is all i have

[Sam]

Seems ironic that the report about app accessibility doesn't make the actual results of the report more accessible 😄🤦

[Md Sohail]

Is there any way so that i can explain the testers about this issue?

Run the Android lint task, you should see the same issue there.

Is this a real rejection? My app also has some "warnings" like that I ignore. It still passes the actual review.

The pre-launch report is just a helpful linter.

🙈

I know, once I get to it I need to be a good citizen and set that contentDescription to every image and solve that touch target problem. 😄

[Stefan Oltmann]

Usually accessibility warnings don't get you rejections. Stability and performance errors do.

[Md Sohail]

So that's the case.. Thank you so much guys
