Returns the View's content description.

Java documentation for android.view.View.getContentDescription().
Property setter documentation:
Sets the View's content description.
A content description briefly describes the view and is primarily used for accessibility support to determine how a view should be presented to the user. In the case of a view with no textual representation, such as android.widget.ImageButton, a useful content description explains what the view does. For example, an image button with a phone icon that is used to place a call may use "Call" as its content description. An image of a floppy disk that is used to save a file may use "Save".
This should omit role or state. Role refers to the kind of user-interface element the View is, such as a Button or Checkbox. State refers to a frequently changing property of the View, such as an On/Off state of a button or the audio level of a volume slider.
Content description updates are not frequent, and are used when the semantic content - not the state - of the element changes. For example, a Play button might change to a Pause button during music playback.
