Android Accessibility Scanner Contrast Issue with Views Visible from Previous Screen

Question

While testing my Android app using the Accessibility Scanner, it flagged a contrast issue related to views from a previous screen. The flagged issue is not visibly noticeable to the naked eye, as the views in question are not intended to be visible on the current screen. This might be due to screen transitions or improper view management.

Observed Behavior Accessibility Scanner detects low contrast for specific UI elements. These elements belong to the previous screen and are not part of the active UI, yet they are being analyzed by the scanner. Visually, these views are either fully off-screen or should be invisible.

Analyzed Transition Behavior:

Checked animations and transitions between screens to ensure no residual views or overlays were left behind. Tested on Multiple Devices and Android Versions:

Ran the app on different devices and Android versions to rule out device-specific behavior. Used Debug Tools:

Logged the state of flagged views using tools like View.getVisibility() and getGlobalVisibleRect() to confirm their visual and accessibility state.

Expected Accessibility Scanner Beh

avior: The Accessibility Scanner should analyze only the visible and active views on the current screen. Views from the previous screen should not be flagged if they are no longer visible or interactable.

Smooth Transitions: Proper cleanup of UI elements during transitions to ensure no residual views or overlays are mistakenly detected.

Accurate Results: The scanner should focus solely on active UI components, providing meaningful and actionable feedback related to the current screen's accessibility.enter image description here
