| Id | MissingLabelforInputFields |
| Summary | Input fields lack any label describing their purpose or expected input |
| Severity | Warning |
| Category | Assistive Technologies / Labels and Associations |
| Affects | Resource files and Kotlin and Java files |
| Implementation |
Custom lint rule with limitations - detect missing
android:label in manifest for activities. Manual testing
required for programmatic title setting in Kotlin/Java code (e.g.,
setTitle() calls for activities and fragments).
|
Activities or Fragments lack proper android:label attributes
(set via setTitle() or in the manifest) that Screen Readers
can announce as screen titles when navigating.
Prevents screen reader users from understanding their current location within the app, making navigation confusing and reducing their ability to orient themselves and understand the app's structure.
<!-- Activity missing android:label attribute -->
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:exported="true" />class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
// Missing: setTitle() or supportActionBar?.title
// Screen reader users won't know this is the main screen
}
}
