" summary

Five concrete changes developers can use now: the Android App Bundle reduces download size and installs by splitting binaries at publish time and simply requires selecting a different build menu; android-ktx adds Kotlin extensions while ART teams add D8/R8 optimizations and nullability annotations; Jetpack components move into androidx with WorkManager preview and a Navigation component that fixes up vs back; Actions XML registers deep-link parameters with app indexing so Slices and App Actions surface content via content URIs.
