Is your app ready for foldable phones?
summary
Android treats folding as a configuration change and recommends handling it so state continues; Samsung ships a device with a 4.58-inch cover display (320 dp smallest width) and a 7.3-inch main display (585 dp smallest width) that supports up to three multi‑active windows. Android Pie introduces opt‑in multi‑resume via a manifest flag, recommends Jetpack ViewModel/saveInstanceState for continuity, and documents multi‑display APIs (DisplayManager, ActivityOptions) and that simulated displays today lack touch; a Samsung emulator and blog guidance arrive in Q4.
