This enables Android TalkBack to announce "item X of Y" when navigating through VirtualizedList/FlatList items.

Changes:

  • Add AccessibilityCollectionItem type to VirtualizedListProps
  • Compute and pass accessibilityCollectionItem to each cell in VirtualizedList
  • Apply accessibilityCollectionItem prop on cell wrapper View
  • Add accessibilityCollection (rowCount/columnCount) to ScrollView
  • Add Flow types for AccessibilityCollection and AccessibilityCollectionItem
  • Fix FlatList multi-column grid accessibility with proper row/column indices

Closes #30975

Summary:

This change improves accessibility for VirtualizedList and FlatList by enabling Android TalkBack to correctly announce item position (e.g., "item X of Y") and grid structure. It introduces support for accessibilityCollection and accessibilityCollectionItem, ensuring proper indexing for both single-column and multi-column lists.

Changelog:

  • Tested both single-column and multi-column FlatList configurations
  • Confirmed correct row/column indexing in grid layouts
