nit: explicitChildNodes: false is default behavior and should probably just be removed.

I've gone ahead and done that.
I merged this before seeing this comment from mobile. I'm too used to our internal UI where any comments blocks submitting a change.
I'll send a PR with this update and remember to check for final comments before merging next time.

This is kinda odd. Why should a screen reader user have a different experience of the UI then somebody who doesn't use a screen reader?

Since this is a demo, these are dummy buttons, not disabled buttons.
I decided to tell the screen reader that they are disabled because when I tried it out with a screen reader, I ended up confused. I partially blindfolded myself and tried tapping those buttons. When the reader told me I could double-tap to activate them, I did and I was confused when I couldn't find anything changed.
Since the primary purpose of this demo is to showcase normal Flutter code, I am OK with removing those semantics objects.
I'll let you make the final call, since we should apply any solution we come up with to all no-op buttons in the gallery.

Ideally, I would like to see the following:
- Button state is presented the same to screen-reader and non-screen-reader users.
- If you click an enabled button some kind of dummy action should happen to acknowledge the button click.
I've also seen non-screen-reader users get confused when they hit a seemingly enabled button and nothing happens.

That's correct, tested with TalkBack on Android. I assume that we test Flutter's semantics engine to give the same performance on iOS. Let me know if that isn't correct. |
