What can my foldable do?
summary
Shows concrete APIs and outcomes: use Jetpack WindowManager 1.2.0 to read window metrics and compute window size classes, observe the folding feature (position, orientation, separating), and react to tabletop/book postures; demonstrates activity embedding to show two activities side‑by‑side and window area controller to start rear selfie and dual-screen modes. Includes runnable examples (media player repositioned for tabletop, activity transfer to outer display), notes 1.3 is beta, and reports the patterns work in practice.
