False Positive for SpeakableTextPresentCheck in RecyclerView

[cckroets]

In some tests we are seeing:

View my_recycler_view: This item may not have a label readable by screen readers. Reported by com.google.android.apps.common.testing.accessibility.framework.checks.SpeakableTextPresentCheck

Looking into the code the problem seems like this is happening because a RecyclerView doesn't have a content description, but my understanding is that we should not have to manually add a content description to a RecyclerView. Is this a bug in this library, or is there a recommendation for manually making RecyclerView accessible.

I do have the same question. We enabled AccessibilityChecks.enable().setRunChecksFromRootView(true) for Espresso testing. One of frequent exceptions is this SpeakableTextPresentCheck. So far, we have suppressed the specific issue from RecyclerViews. I wonder why Espresso throws this exception and any significance for RecyclerView. Obviously, we can't make RecyclerView not-important-for-accessibility to avoid this exception for TalkBack users. It seems Android Test framework should handle it for us. Would love to hear any thoughts from the team.
