Interacting with views by id

Views can be accessed by their ids. For example:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/myButton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Hello World" />

Can be tapped in the following way:

    id: myButton

Interacting with views by contentDescription

<ImageView

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:contentDescription="Hello World" />

This view can then be tapped using the following command:
