Accessibility in Xamarin Navigation Drawer (SfNavigationDrawer)

9 Jul 2020 / 1 minute to read

The SfNavigationDrawer control has built-in AutomationId for inner elements. The AutomationId API allows the automation framework to find and interact with the inner elements of the NavigationDrawer control. To keep unique AutomationId, these inner elements’ AutomationIds are updated based on the control’s AutomationId.

For example, if you set SfNavigationDrawer’s AutomationId as “DrawerMenu”, then the automation framework will interact with the gray area as “DrawerMenu Gray Area”.

The following screenshot illustrates the AutomationIds of inner elements. You can also interact with the elements inside the ContentView with the element’s AutomationId.
