Re: Appropriate role for tiles on android

Since it is native app and not web-based content, they should have a role of
button or be in a native component that can contain active elements (e.g.,
Listview, menu, navigation drawer).

Due to limitations in Android, some components that contain only active
elements give no roles for each item, but do give help text
(accessibilityHint, if turned on by the user) indicating they are active.
For example, [element name {Pause}, Double-tap to activate].

If you need further guidance, let me know.

It is not in a listview currently, it is on react native and upon activation
opens a new page on app that displays the details for that tile.

Would it be fine to have them as items in a list view?
