New: Accessibility support for Android TalkBack screen reader

We’re happy to announce our first community contribution! Based on work provided by makhlwf (GitHub Issue 888), Code on the Go now supports the Android TalkBack screen reader in the file tree and the project command slider. We appreciate your efforts to help us build a more inclusive app. 

Improvements and enhancements

In a project, it's now easier to swipe the actions slider to the left or right.

The plugin template demonstrates how to add a tooltip to the UI button in the fragment.

User-requested changes

Added (GitHub issue 835): You can now preview Jetpack Compose layouts in the editor.

Fixed (GitHub issue 879): When you open an XML file that contains a fragment tag in the layout editor and discard changes, the fragment element in the XML file now remains intact.

Fixed (GitHub issue 890) Autocomplete suggestions for methods and classes no longer disappear before they can be selected.

Other fixes

When a layout XML file contains an include and/or a merge tag, the element is correctly maintained when exiting the layout editor.

Projects no longer reopen automatically after closing when Open last project is enabled in preferences.

The experimental sketch-to-UI feature is only visible when experimental features are enabled.

A plugin can now be closed when it’s the only open window in the project.

The background color for the plugin manager is changed.

The size of several resource images is reduced. 

Other fixes including:

IllegalStateException (two occurrences)

NullPointerException
