Header is not read by TalkBack

[desamtralized]

Hello, I'm using this library in a project that requires accessibility.
When using the TalkBack in a screen with "sticky headers" the headers can't be read or focused by the TalkBack (or accessibility inspector?).

Is there any workaround?

Thanks in advance.

Are you able to get the focus ?

Any solution?

I haven't had a chance to look into this issue yet, but a pull request would be welcome if you find a solution!

Until a better solution is determined, a decent workaround would be to implement an item touch listener as described in #38, then when the header is clicked you can manually send an accessibility announcement by doing something like this:

AccessibilityManager accessibilityManager = (AccessibilityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE);

if (accessibilityManager != null && accessibilityManager.isEnabled()) {
    AccessibilityEvent event = AccessibilityEvent.obtain(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_ANNOUNCEMENT);
    event.getText().add("some text");
    view.onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(event);
    view.getParent().requestSendAccessibilityEvent(view, event);
}

It would be really cool if there was also the option to read the headers when they stick to the top of the screen...but I don't think that's possible at the moment.
