GUI Widget

A graphical user interface element that users can interact with or that displays information, such as buttons, text fields, images, checkboxes, and sliders. In mobile accessibility, widget types determine which accessibility requirements apply—interactive widgets like buttons need focusability and descriptions, while text widgets need sufficient contrast and font size. Research shows that five widget categories (TextView, ImageView, View, Button, ImageButton) account for 92% of GUI elements in Android apps and cause the majority of accessibility issues.
