Optimize your app for large screens
summary
Defines three support tiers and gives concrete steps: use Jetpack WindowManager to read current window metrics, apply window size classes at 600 dp and 840 dp, and migrate UI per-size rather than swapping entire navigation graphs. Handle camera orientation via API 32 camera characteristics or use CameraX to avoid preview distortion. Preserve state with savedInstanceState / rememberSaveable and the state restoration tester. Add large-screen features like activity embedding and the new stable Jetpack drag‑and‑drop helpers to enable cross‑app dragging.
