on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

Explains concrete steps to make Android apps handle folded and large screens: Android adds app continuity and multi-resume support, Galaxy Fold runs up to three simultaneous windows, and Google supplies 7.3" and 8" foldable emulators. Shows Visco’s work: saved complex custom-view state via instance bundles, implemented a dynamic formula to allow landscape only on unfolded/tablet sized windows, exposed a singleton observable window dimensions service, enabled multi-resume with one manifest flag, and reports the app works through testing.
