In compose there are multiple accessibility roles: https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/ui/ui/src/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/semantics/SemanticsProperties.kt;l=554;drc=412c979a93d75d581b1d0a40212f8a012458b862

It seems like there is no role for "dropdown list" (such that when you focus on a dropdown button that opens a dropdown list, Talkback announces "dropdown list").

This used to be possible with old Views if you used the Spinner view.

I can use ExposedDropdownMenuBox with TalkBack, need to swipe down with two fingers to expand it.
