Android apps run on a wide variety of devices—from foldable flip phones to wall‑mounted TVs. To provide a great user experience on all types of devices, adapt your app's UI to different display sizes and configurations. The best Android apps make the most of the screen space they occupy and handle changes to that space at runtime, including orientation changes and window resizing in split‑screen and desktop windowing modes.
