This article explains how to properly position an Elo kiosk application to ensure accessibility for users in wheelchairs.
One approach to ensure that the kiosk application is accessible for wheelchair-bound customers is to adjust the kiosk application’s UI elements dynamically to lower the screen content for better accessibility. This ensures a seamless user experience by modifying the current layout in response to user actions vs.creating/launching a new layout. Specifically, you can:
- Add a Button to Trigger Layout Adjustment - Include a button in the layout that users can press to lower the UI elements:
- Adjust Layout Parameters Programmatically - Modify the activity code to adjust the layout parameters (e.g. setPadding, setLayoutParams, etc.) when the button is pressed. This approach ensures you use the same layout but adjust it dynamically. Here is a good resource for available methods - https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#size,-padding-and-margins.
- Return to Original Layout Parameters - After the transaction is completed (e.g. payment is made) automatically return the layout to its original parameters.
