Dual-Screen and Multi-Modal: Rethinking modern mobile apps
summary
Shows concrete results: Microsoft Surface Duo ships with a 360-degree hinge, two identical displays, and both a core SDK plus Jetpack WindowManager support; the device reports 16 discrete postures (and full hinge angle) so apps can react to precise states. The SDK provides an emulator, sample hero apps, layout helpers and drag‑and‑drop and pen examples; the key runtime feature is spanning where an app adapts from single to dual screens. Five usable design patterns and working code are provided.
