Building for the Future of Android
summary
Android 15 enforces edge-to-edge status bar and navigation gestures transparency and expands left/right inset handling; apps must update AndroidX Activity, enable system animations, and migrate from onBackPressed to OnBackPressedCallback or BackHandler to get predictive back animations. Widgets should use Jetpack Glance 1.0.1 with generated dynamic previews; demos showcased using the Gemini API for generative features and a related contest with $50,000 and a custom DeLorean. Platform changes covered include app archiving, a media processing service, Perfetto tracing improvements, 64-bit-only apps, 16KB memory pages, Angle for OpenGL ES, Credential Manager passkey one-tap, and ApplicationStartInfo.
