Optimize your app for large screens
summary
Android lays out a three‑tier checklist and concrete APIs for large screens: Android 12L/13 changes, Jetpack WindowManager and window size classes (compact <600dp, medium 600–840dp, expanded ≥840dp) drive layout decisions; Compose offers Material3 window size helpers; Activity Embedding shows two activities side‑by‑side; CameraX and camera2 guidance fix preview rotation; state saving uses saveStateHandle / rememberSaveable and the state restoration tester; drag start helper and drop helper enable cross‑app drag‑and‑drop and multi‑instance workflows.
