" summary

Overview of concrete guidance and tools: Android has 270M active large screen devices and apps face crashes or compatibility-mode if they use non-resizable flags, portrait-only locks, or arbitrary isTablet checks. Recommended fixes include layout patterns (list-detail, supporting panel, feed), adaptive breakpoints via Window Size Classes (Compose Material 3 library), camera handling with CameraX, dynamic insets handling, testing with the resizable emulator, and supporting keyboard/mouse and multi-window lifecycles.
