Want a Slice?
summary
Android Slices let apps expose interactive UI outside the app using Android Jetpack and a SliceProvider that extends ContentProvider. Implementation requires a quick-return bindSlice, a SliceBuilder of rows and actions, and updates via the content resolver. Testing today uses a SliceViewer APK from GitHub because Search and Assistant aren’t showing slices yet. Slices run back to Android 4.4 covering 95% of devices. Examples include inline toggles, sliders wired to BroadcastReceivers, and placeholders updated after background work.
