[Android] CarouselView incorrectly reads out "double tap to activate" #31387

Description

On Android, when using a CarouselView that is scroll-only (users cannot select items, only swipe horizontally), TalkBack still announces “double tap to activate” when the carousel receives focus.

This is confusing for users when there is no action to perform — in this case the carousel is purely for scrolling.

I have attempted to use a custom handler for the CarouselView to modify its native "clickable" properties. However, nothing I have tried so far affects the double-tap behavior. I should be able to override or remove this message.

I have attached a repository to replicate this issue.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Activate talkback
  2. On the home screen navigate to open carousel view
  3. Select the carouosel with talkback and navigate
  4. After reading out the actions "double tap to activate" will be read
