Abstract
In this chapter, we’ll take a look at the accessibility features that are part of Android. This is not an exhaustive guide; we’ll focus on the features that may impact you as a developer, either because you need to provide support, make some decisions for the feature to work, or because it may change how your app looks or feels in some way. For a more consumer-focused introduction of features available, check Google’s support pages.
