Description

Fixes #14924

I added accessibility strings for the menus that were defaulting to null. I just set them to the same string from app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml that AppSettingsFragment.kt is using so it would work across locales and languages. I haven't tested this on a virtual device or personal device yet, but I can attempt that before merging if necessary. The build does run to completion.

Tested talkback on virtual device, and it seems to use "Go Back" for the English text to speech. As far as I can tell it seems to work for other languages as well ("Volver" at least in Spanish).
