Accessibility on Android in 2019
summary
Provides concrete Android accessibility practices: use contentDescription and labelFor so TalkBack reads images and labels correctly and announces editing plus value, prefer 48×48 touch targets with ~8dp spacing, and use accessibilityLiveRegion instead of toasts. Demonstrates tools (Accessibility Scanner, Android Studio inspector) to find duplicate descriptions and small targets, gives contrast targets (3:1 large text, 4.5:1 normal), and shows demos that vocalize list items and that these fixes measurably improve navigation.
