Beyond Smartphone screen...
summary
Claim: Chromebooks become the new tablets so apps must scale to resizable windows; evidence: 60% market share in US education and Android apps running on Chrome OS. Tools used: ConstraintLayout plus LiveData and ViewModel to detect column count and swap or animate one/ two/ three‑column layouts. Concrete build: a football app prototype with responsive reveal/transform/divide patterns and a demo repo; proof‑of‑concept works but needs polishing for production.
