Button bar requires accessibility properties to be set per button. E.g labels:[{title:'Red' accessibilityLabel:"Red accessibility label"}, 'Pink', 'blue'],

Satyam Sekhri 2012-10-15

Defining accessibility properties per button (as in comment above), the accessibility label is still not spoken for Red button. Below is the code used:

   win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       title: "Events",
       layout: "vertical",
       backgroundColor: "#fff"
   });
   var Buttonbar1 = Titanium.UI.createButtonBar({
               labels:[{title:'Red', accessibilityLabel:"Red accessibility label"}, 'Pink', 'blue'],
               backgroundColor:'#336699',
               top:50,
               style:Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButtonStyle.BAR,
                height:25,
               width:200
               });
           win.add(Buttonbar1);
      
   win.open();

This duplicates TIMOB-11454. Possible platform issue as the code below work in Simulator with Accessibility Inspector enabled, but does not work on a device.

   - (void)viewDidLoad
   {
       [super viewDidLoad];
   	NSString *title = @"First button";
   	title.accessibilityLabel = @"Accessibility label for First button";
   	NSString *title2 = @"2nd button";
   	title2.accessibilityLabel = @"Accessibility label for 2nd button";
   	self.segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc]
   									  initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:title, title2, nil]];
   	self.segmentedControl.frame = CGRectMake(50, 50, 200, 40);
   	[self.view addSubview:self.segmentedControl];
   }
