Description
#1The explanation provided by the AccessibilityDetector lint check suggests an outdated approach (using
tools:ignore=“ContentDescription”
).It is also a different approach from what's documented today in the url linked in that lint check which states:
"If your UI includes graphical elements that are used for decorative effect only, set their descriptions to "@null". If your app's minSdkVersion is 16 or higher, you can instead set these graphical elements' android:importantForAccessibility attributes to "no"."
I believe the check's explanation is misleading and should be updated.
