Question for those with native app expertise:
Let's say I have a button that instantiates a layer and focus is passed into it. When that layer is closed, my assumption is that I should be able to pass focus back to the button trigger.
If the assumption is true, what technique would I leverage to manage focus?

Hi Chris,
Not sure if you mean with or without Talkback enabled.
Without TalkBack: requestFocus()
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#using-views
With TalkBack: sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED)
