State of Google Drive accessibility

[Nolan Darilek]

I hear that Drive is accessible for editing documents. Can anyone else
confirm this, and to what extent it works?

If it works, I'm having a hard time finding the additional accessibility
information that would make it usable. Specifically, I can find the
buttons and can swipe between them using Spiel, and can find a text
editor that remains blank despite any information I input. I can't find
the text of what I've entered anywhere. I've checked the
AccessibilityNodeInfo attached to the focus events, as well as records
attached to the events (there appear to be none.) This is on a Nexus 10
running 4.2.1.

It's almost as if Drive works only with TalkBack and doesn't expose the
required data otherwise. Am I just not looking in the right place, or
should I be reporting that my service is running some other way? All
other apps work more or less fine.

Also, interestingly, I can't navigate the text area by other
granularities. If it was just a matter of me not finding the text, I'd
at least expect granular nav to work since that passes the action to the
framework and lets it resolve the move.

Thanks.
