Accessibility: Text scaling issues on aliases list and details screens

[AnaFerreira015]

Hi! I’m Ana Ferreira, a Master's student in Computer Science.

As part of my research on mobile accessibility, I am analyzing open-source Android applications to help identify and correct accessibility barriers so users can utilize assistive technologies more effectively.

I’ve been exploring addy.io and noticed that the UI does not adapt correctly to system font size changes on the Aliases List and Account Details screens, so I wanted to propose a fix.

1. The Issue

Throughout the application, but specifically where long email aliases are displayed, the text elements present the following behavior:

• Current behavior: When the system font size is set to the maximum, the text does not scale proportionally or it gets cut off/truncated without being fully readable (violating WCAG 1.4.4 Resize Text).
• Impact: Users with low vision who rely on larger fonts cannot read their full alias addresses or configuration details, which is a critical barrier for a privacy-focused management tool.

2. Proposed Solution

To fix this, I suggest ensuring that all TextView components use sp units and that their parent containers (like ConstraintLayout or LinearLayout) use wrap_content for height, allowing the text to wrap into multiple lines instead of being truncated.

Code snippet / XML suggestion:

<TextView
    ...
    android:textSize="14sp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:ellipsize="none"
    android:singleLine="false" />

3. Additional fixes (Need your input)

I have identified 1 other minor improvement regarding text reduction.
