Descriptive headers on Android

Screens should have descriptive headers, this helps users find specific content and orient themselves within your app. It is recommended to put distinguishing information at the beginning of your headers.

On Android, headers created with TextView can be changed with the setText method.

header.text = "Descriptive header"
ViewCompat.setAccessibilityHeading(header, true)
