Hi! I mailed out jetc.dev Newsletter Issue #318! @eevis.codes on acessible links! RemoteCompose! Cross-platform barcode scanning! Blueprints in previews! And... we seem to be short a BOM?!? jetc.dev/issues/318 #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev

Issue #7 of Inclusive Android Apps is live! 🚀 This one covers inline links: a pattern that works fine for touch users but is completely unreachable for keyboard, Switch Access, and screen reader users. Code included. Read it: buttondown.com/inclusive-an... #AndroidDev #InclusiveAndroidApps

I'm just about to finish my talk "Beyond Gestures: Accessible (SVG) Maps for Compose Multiplatform" at mDevCamp, and I promised to share the link to the repository with the code from the talk, so here it is: gitlab.com/eevajonna/SJ... Thanks to everyone who came to listen to the talk!

I just shipped jetc.dev Newsletter Issue #316! Android Makers 2026! @eevis.codes on utofill! @sebastiano.dev and @saket.me on test automation! And... can we compose some liquid for our glass?!? jetc.dev/issues/316 #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev

Autofill isn't just a convenience, it's an accessibility feature. It helps people who find typing difficult due to limited mobility, trembling hands, or freezing fingers. And it takes maybe five lines of code in Jetpack Compose. My blog on how to support it: eevis.codes/blog/2026-05... #AndroidDev

🏆And the winner is… On Friday, we celebrated the Kotlin community members who inspire, teach, build, and bring people together. Congrats to the winners! 👏 @matheuslf.dev, @skydoves.bsky.social, @nicole-terc.bsky.social. Eeva-Jonna Panula @eevis.codes, Yinlong Liu https://kotlinconf.com/awards/

Issue #6 of Inclusive Android Apps is live! 🚀 This one's about gendered language in period trackers — and how a few string changes and a dropdown can make your app welcoming for everyone who menstruates. Code included. Read it: buttondown.com/inclusive-an... #AndroidDev #InclusiveAndroidApps

Issue #6 of Inclusive Android Apps drops Tuesday! 📬 Topic: Gendered language in period tracking apps. Why assumptions about who menstruates exclude users, and how to fix it with inclusive string resources and code. Subscribe: eevis.codes/newsletter #AndroidDev #InclusiveDesign #MenstrualHealth

OK, I sent out jetc.dev Newsletter Issue #313! Bottom tab navigation! @eevis.codes on focus indicators! Hotkey DSL! Syntax highlighting! jetc.dev/issues/313 #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev

Android's default focus indicator is a ripple so subtle it's almost invisible, and that's a problem for keyboard and D-pad users. I wrote about building a custom one with the Indication API in Jetpack Compose: eevis.codes/blog/2026-04... #AndroidDev #a11y #JetpackCompose

I pushed the button on jetc.dev Newsletter Issue #311! @landomen.bsky.social on ViewModel Scope in Nav3! @eevis.codes on more inclusive drag-and-drop! Shared element transitions in Nav3! Official skills! jetc.dev/issues/311 #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev

Issue #5 of Inclusive Android Apps drops Tuesday 📬 This one tackles drag and drop: why it excludes users who can't perform the gesture, and how to build accessible alternatives with buttons and keyboard support, code included. Subscribe to get it in your inbox: eevis.codes/newsletter #AndroidDev

Issue #4 of Inclusive Android Apps is live! 🚀 This one tackles time-based actions: why they exclude users who need more time, and how to support Android's "Time to Take Action" accessibility setting, with code examples. Read it: buttondown.com/inclusive-an... #AndroidDev #InclusiveAndroidApps

Following up on my last post about building an item previewer in Jetpack Compose, I’ve published Part 2: Adding navigation support, in which I look into keyboard, screen reader, and voice access navigation considerations for the item previewer. eevis.codes/blog/2026-02... #A11y #AndroidDev

Issue #3 of Inclusive Android Apps is live! 🚀 This one covers the problem of color-only indicators: why relying on color alone excludes users, with code examples for fixing the issue with text, icons, and/or patterns. Read it: buttondown.com/inclusive-an... #AndroidDev #InclusiveAndroidApps

Looking back, I've mostly spoken at events abroad and in Turku, so I'm happy to share that I will be speaking at #ScanAgile26 in Helsinki in March! This time, my POV on accessibility is not the most technical, but how teams should value progress over perfection when fixing accessibility issues.

Font scaling is important, but what if UI elements can't scale? I’m borrowing a concept from iOS to build an item previewer in Jetpack Compose. It ensures small icons/labels stay accessible via item previews. Read more: eevis.codes/blog/2026-01... #A11y #AndroidDev

Issue #2 of Inclusive Android Apps is live! 🚀 This one tackles how to build gender forms that don't force binary choices. The practical solutions include multiple options, custom fields, and opt-out choices. Read it: buttondown.com/inclusive-an... #AndroidDev #InclusiveAndroidApps

Issue #2 of Inclusive Android Apps drops Tuesday 📬 This one's about gender selection in forms, why binary male/female choices exclude users, and how to build forms that actually work for everyone, with practical code examples. Want it in your inbox? Subscribe: eevis.codes/newsletter/ #AndroidDev

I've been testing different AI tools for generating Android apps and running accessibility tests on them, and now I've finally written my wrap-up of those tests. In short, from an Android accessibility perspective, I don't believe AI will replace developers anytime soon.
