In Settings, you can configure features for Developer Assistant. These features include accessibility support scanning, automatic hot area scanning, automatic long text scanning, real-time stuttering monitoring, logs, and floating notifications.
Accessibility support scanning
This feature supports interface checks for Android features designed for visually impaired users.
Automatic hot area scanning
Hot area detection can identify controls on a page where the clickable area has a width or height of less than 30 dp. The results are displayed in real-time at the top of the current page. If you turn on this switch, controls with a width or height of less than 30 dp in the scanned hot area are automatically highlighted in red.
Automatic long text scanning
This feature checks for overlapping text. Developer Assistant can detect text that is too long to be fully displayed using the text control's API.
