@Composable
fun ErrorScreen(modifier: Modifier = Modifier) {
    Column(
        modifier = modifier,
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center,
        horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
    ) {
        Image(
            painter = painterResource(id = R.drawable.ic_connection_error), contentDescription = ""
        )
        Text(text = stringResource(R.string.loading_failed), modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp))
    }
}

Describe the problem The content description of Image should be null instead of an empty string. Alternatively it can provide a meaningful description. This is not required, as the Text exposes the same information about the current status.

Compose Accessibility guide

Some visual elements are purely decorative and you might not want to communicate them to the user. When you set the contentDescription parameter to null, you indicate to the Android framework that this element does not have associated actions or state.
