Hi Chris,

Not sure if you mean with or without Talkback enabled.

Without TalkBack: requestFocus()

Subject: [WebAIM] Managing focus on Android

Question for those with native app expertise:

Let's say I have a button that instantiates a layer and focus is passed into it. When that layer is closed, my assumption is that I should be able to pass focus back to the button trigger.

If the assumption is true, what technique would I leverage to manage focus?
