Description
Hi, I am analyzing the accessibility and I found an issue with these floating buttons.
These buttons are unlabeled right now and the screen reader just said "unlabeled button" without any description.
I suggest adding a new string to the "strings.xml" file and then create the attribute "android.contentDescription" on each button with the reference to the new string to make these buttons more accessible :)
I tested that on the "stats" button and this is the result of running the accessibility scanner after that change:

Research direction
Start in the My site view and identify the floating buttons, including the stats button; inspect strings.xml and run an accessibility scanner or screen reader. Done means each floating button has a string-backed android.contentDescription and is no longer reported as an unlabeled button.
