Do’s and don’ts: Mindset for optimizing apps for larger screens
summary
Android now has 270M active large screen devices so app layouts must adapt: use the canonical layouts (list‑detail, supporting panel, feed), follow the large screen app quality tiers (basic/better/best), and stop using arbitrary isTablet/smallest‑width booleans. Use window size classes and the Window Size Class Library (Compose Material3) for layout breakpoints, prefer CameraX for camera orientation issues, handle multi‑window and insets dynamically, and test with the resizable emulator and reference devices.
