Role

public class Role private constructor(@Suppress("unused") private val value: Int)

The type of user interface element. Accessibility services might use this to describe the element or do customizations. Most roles can be automatically resolved by the semantics properties of this element. But some elements with subtle differences need an exact role. If an exact role is not listed, SemanticsPropertyReceiver.role should not be set and the framework will automatically resolve it.
