To create an accessible user interface, apply the following guidelines:

  • Avoid using fixed font sizes and small font sizes.
  • Enable accessibility options such as font size and idle time settings.
  • Ensure that the user interface elements are clearly visible in low light.
  • Ensure effective and easy-to-read color combinations.
  • Group related objects on the screen.
  • Ensure that the user interface is predictable. For example, pressing the HOME hardware button should always display the Home screen.
