Accessibility on Android in 2019
summary
Practical Android accessibility guidance: use contentDescription or labelFor for metadata, keep touch targets at 48 dp with 8 dp spacing, prefer progressive focus for lists, and follow contrast ratios that scale with text size. Demonstrations include a parent app and simulated blind user showing TalkBack behavior, an accessibility service triggering Home and screenshot actions, and using Accessibility Test Framework and Accessibility Scanner to validate compliance.
