Developing for Android & large screens
summary
Focuses on concrete fixes for apps that run on tablets, Chrome OS and external monitors: use Jetpack ViewModel to survive frequent configuration changes caused by Chrome OS window resizing, add onContextMenu and hover listeners to map right‑click and hover, implement drag‑and‑drop and keyboard shortcuts for productivity flows, and test with the Chrome OS emulator or devices that support ADB over USB (Pixelbook, HP Chromebook X2). 1Password’s three-panel layout is a practical example that speeds common tasks.
