Slices up your app!
summary
Explains how Android Slices live in the AndroidX library and are implemented as a ContentProvider that responds to URIs with code not XML, using the AndroidX DSL functions like list/header/grid; onBindSlice must return quickly and background refresh happens only after onSlicePinned is called then contentResolver.notifyChange updates displays; primary action required for a slice to show; Google ships an open‑source Slice Viewer to test different sizes; works back to API 19 so it renders on Pixel Android P and a Galaxy Nexus running KitKat.
