Android on Chrome OS: What you need to know
summary
Play Store is production on Chrome OS and Pixelbook ships with Android P support soon, so expect Android apps to run on laptops and tablets with minimal installs but surprising brittleness around desktop behaviors. Use ADB over USB (Pixelbook and HP Chromebook X2) or the Chrome OS emulator to test resizing, keyboard, mouse, right click and drag and drop. Target API 23+ for proper multiwindow, add context click listener (API 24) and stylus APIs, and handle 4–6 rapid config changes during freeform window resizes.
