Hi @daphneyyt, thanks for using Accessibility Insights for Android! Regarding your questions:
2a) The android.widget.FrameLayout class means this is a FrameLayout object
2b) I'd probably need to inspect the app to answer this question. If you're developing with Android Studio, you can use the Layout Inspector to look through the view hierarchy and find any unlabeled FrameLayouts in the app. If there is no FrameLayout in that location, this is a bug in our service that we'll need to investigate.
2c) See our docs on the ActiveViewName rule (also accessible in the app through the "More information about ActiveViewName" link). In this case, the FrameLayout is active and therefore able to be focused, but has no text available to the screen reader. You can fix this by adding an appropriate contentDescription or text label to the FrameLayout.
I hope that helps, please let us know if you need further clarification!
