Demystifying Android accessibility development

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Covers concrete Android accessibility fixes and testing: use contentDescription for images, add actions via ViewCompat.addAccessibilityAction, enable non-URL link support with ViewCompat.enableAccessibleClickableSpanSupport, mark custom panes with ViewCompat.setAccessibilityPaneTitle, and get timeouts from getRecommendedTimeoutMilliseconds to avoid disappearing controls; integrate the Android Accessibility Testing Framework into Espresso/Robolectric, review Pre-Launch Report and Accessibility Scanner results, and test with TalkBack and Switch Access to confirm behavior rather than guessing.
