Finding Success on Large Screens and Foldables
summary
Microsoft updates Android apps for large screens and foldables using Android 12L and a contributed Flutter/Jetpack Window Manager feature set, including a two-pane control that auto-layouts start/end panes, a Surface Duo emulator for hinge/angle testing, and a display-features API exposing hinge/cutout bounds and flat/half-open state. Samples include a Jetpack Compose “guitar shop” app (on the Play Store) and reader/list-detail demos; over 80 Microsoft Android apps motivate practical drag-and-drop, keyboard/pen, and popup-placement fixes.
