A developer's guide to large screens readiness
summary
Practical checklist: survive configuration changes with ViewModel and saved state, stop losing scroll position, and keep long work running across rotate; treat multi-window and multi-resume from Android 10+ and Android 12L, respect the 600dp threshold and resizableActivity flags to avoid letterboxing; query camera IDs and use CameraX for continuous preview resizing; implement keyboard/hover with focus navigation and hover listeners; test on the resizable emulator and with window size classes for 3 buckets and CameraX handles preview resizing.
