Android accessibility debugging with Stetho
Oct 17, 2016Brett Lavalla

Summary
This post details the integration of accessibility property inspection into Stetho, Meta's open-source Android debugging tool. It introduces new panels within Stetho that display whether a View is focusable, the reasons why, its current focus state, its description for accessibility services, and supported AccessibilityActions. The post uses a concrete example of a UI with a focus navigation issue to demonstrate how Stetho's new features help engineers identify and fix accessibility bugs, specifically by making non-actionable TextViews focusable.
