Optimizing Android apps for desktop experience
summary
Demo shows a puck-shaped Samsung DeX station that turns a Galaxy S8+/Note8 into a multi-window desktop with keyboard, mouse, Ethernet and HDMI; Android multi-window originates in API level 24 and apps must set android:resizeableActivity="true" to be resizable. Drag-and-drop, right-click menus, and custom keyboard shortcuts work; YouTube-style players can keep playing by avoiding pause on onPause. Remote deploy uses adb tcpip 5555 over Wi‑Fi/Ethernet. Use a desktop desk resource qualifier and adapt layouts for variable window sizes.
