Provides a practical Android accessibility checklist and code patterns: use 48dp touch targets and at least 12sp text, ensure contrast and provide two cues (color plus shape), and use tools like Accessibility Scanner and Play prelaunch reports. Recommends automated checks with the Accessibility Testing Framework alongside Espresso, and shows Accessibility API techniques—semantics grouping, custom actions, and overriding spoken labels—to make UI elements (cards, menus, etc.) actually usable.
