AccessKit UI accessibility infrastructure: winit adapter
Documentation

AccessKit winit adapter

This is the winit adapter for AccessKit. It exposes an AccessKit accessibility tree through the platform-native accessibility API on any platform supported by AccessKit. On platforms not supported by AccessKit, this adapter does nothing, but still compiles.

Compatibility with async runtimes

The following only applies on Linux/Unix:

While this crate's API is purely blocking, it internally spawns asynchronous tasks on an executor.

  • If you use tokio, make sure to enable the tokio feature of this crate.
  • If you use another async runtime or if you don't use one at all, the default feature will suit your needs.

Android activity compatibility

The Android implementation of this adapter currently only works with GameActivity, which is one of the two activity implementations that winit currently supports.

Examples

The examples/ directory contains two runnable examples:

  • simple — a minimal window exposing a single accessible label.
  • mixed_handlers — demonstrates combining AccessKit's action handling with winit event handling.

On desktop platforms, run them with cargo run --example simple or cargo run --example mixed_handlers from this crate's directory.

Running the examples on iOS

Install XcodeGen and the iOS Rust targets, then run xcodegen from examples/apple/ to generate the Xcode project. Open it in Xcode and build/run the Simple or MixedHandlers target on a device or simulator.
