Jetpack Compose Accessibility Model

As is the case with the rest of the platform, Android accessibility is highly customizable. A large part of accessibility is about customizability, so Android has a huge edge here. If Android doesn’t have a system setting that suits a specific need, then any developer can create a custom accessibility service to fulfill that need. We’ll take an introductory look at this in the upcoming “Viewing the Accessibility Tree” activity. Because of the wide variation in handsets, software versions, and assistive technologies available, it is essential to follow good accessibility practice, rather than coding for any specific technology, such as TalkBack. For clarity, I’m using a Google Pixel 9a device running Android 15 and using Google’s provided assistive technologies.
