Marco raised concerns on mobile-firefox-dev [1] to ensure RecyclerView is accessible - let's test with TalkBack and find out!

(More of a personal note)

I've been playing with Tallback and a RecyclerView test app, which seems to work fine. Settings the content description can be done in the onBindViewHolder method of a RecyclerView.Adapter.

After you bind the item, we can set the description like so:
```
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
    holder.getTitle().setContentDescription("Title is " + mList.get(position).getTitle());
}
```

This is sort of done since we know that accessibility works with RecyclerViews. What's the steps needed to close this?

Did you try this out on a RecyclerView in Firefox? If so, feel free to close.

Compared the SearchEngineBar which is using the RecyclerView in nightly and a TwoWayView in Beta, and Talkback interacts the same (correct) way.

Closing..
