<\/a><\/p>\n

This week at Made by Google<\/a>, we introduced the new suite of Pixel devices, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Pixel Watch 4<\/a>. These devices are more than just an evolution in hardware; they are built to showcase the latest updates in Android<\/a>, creating new possibilities for you to build experiences that are more helpful, personal, and adaptive than before.<\/p>\n

Let’s explore what this moment means for your apps and how you can start building today.<\/p>\n

Give your app more room to shine on foldable and large screens<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The new Pixel 10 Pro Fold<\/a> represents the next step in mobile computing, inviting you to think beyond a single screen. With a stunning 8-inch inner display that unfolds to create an immersive, large screen experience and a fully-capable 6.4-inch outer display, your apps have a powerful and flexible stage to shine. Its advanced durability and all-day battery life make this form factor ready for everyday use, raising user expectations for premium app experiences.<\/p>\n

Building a truly adaptive app<\/a> is how you unlock the full potential of this hardware. On the new Pixel 10 Pro Fold, users will multitask with enhanced Split Screen and drag-and-drop, or use hands-free tabletop modes for entertainment. Your app must support resizability<\/a> and both portrait and landscape orientations to deliver the seamless, dynamic layouts these new experiences demand. Following the best practices on adaptive development<\/a> is the key to providing an optimal experience on every screen and in every posture.<\/p>\n

To help you build these adaptive experiences, we offer a suite of powerful tools. You can use existing tools like Jetpack Window Manager<\/a> and the Compose Adaptive Layouts Libraries<\/a> today. And coming soon to beta, Compose Adaptive Layout Library 1.2 will introduce new adaption strategies like Levitate and Reflow, plus support for Large and Extra Large width Window Class Sizes.<\/p>\n

The goal is to not be confined to a single screen, but build one app that works great everywhere, from phones and foldables to tablets and other large screens. This is your opportunity to expand your app\u2019s reach and deliver the dynamic experiences users now expect. With the tools at your fingertips, you can start building for every screen today. Learn how you can unlock your app’s full potential with adaptive development at developer.android.com\/adaptive-apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bring your most expressive apps to the wrist<\/span><\/h2>\n

The new Pixel Watch 4<\/a> is here, and it\u2019s the first smartwatch built to showcase the full power of Material 3 Expressive<\/a> on Wear OS 6<\/a>. This is where the vision for the platform truly comes to life, allowing you to build stunning, modern apps and tiles<\/a> without compromising on performance. With this release, you no longer have to choose between beautiful animations and battery life; with Wear OS 6, you can build experiences that are beautiful, helpful, and powerful, all at once.<\/p>\n

To get that modern look, you can use the new Material 3 Expressive libraries for Compose on Wear OS<\/a>, which provide powerful components like the TransformingLazyColumn<\/span>uid lists and the EdgeButton<\/a><\/span> to create UIs that feel natively built for the wrist.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This focus on design naturally extends to the centerpiece of the user\u2019s experience, the watch face itself. To give you more creative control, we’ve introduced version 4 of the Watch Face Format<\/a>, which unlocks possibilities like fluid, animated state transitions and lets users select their own photos for the background. And to help developers create their own watch face marketplaces, we\u2019ve introduced the Watch Face Push API<\/a>. We\u2019ve partnered with well-known watch face developers \u2013 including Facer, TIMEFLIK, WatchMaker, and Pujie \u2013 who are bringing their unique watch face experiences to the new devices that users can already get today.<\/p>\n

All of this is built on a more reliable and efficient foundation, with watches updating to Wear OS 6<\/a> seeing up to a 10% improvement in battery life and quicker app launches. This gives you the confidence to use these new creative tools, knowing your app will perform beautifully. Start building apps for the wrist using the resources and guidance at developer.android.com\/wear<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ready to build for every screen today?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The opportunities for your app are bigger than ever, and you can start today. See how your app performs across screen sizes by using the resizable emulator in Android Studio<\/a>, and explore our large-screen design gallery<\/a> for inspiration.<\/p>\n

For your wearables, the best way to begin is by upgrading your UI with the new Material 3 Expressive libraries for Compose on Wear OS<\/a> and exploring the engaging experiences you can build with the Watch Face Push API. Finally, use the Wear OS 6 emulator to test and verify your app’s experience.<\/p>\n

You can find all the resources you need, including documentation, samples, and guides at developer.android.com\/adaptive-apps<\/a> and developer.android.com\/wear<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to see what you develop next!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
