New APIs for adaptive layouts in Jetpack Compose

We’ve released the first alpha of our new Material adaptive layouts. These layouts help developers adapt apps to various device sizes, moving beyond the usual screen size assumptions. The release introduces key components like ListDetailPaneScaffold and NavigationSuiteScaffold. The ListDetailPaneScaffold enables seamless display of lists and details side by side or separately, adapting to screen changes like rotation or split-screen mode. NavigationSuiteScaffold smartly switches between a bottom navigation bar and a side navigation rail based on window size. This alpha release is just the start, with more enhancements and components planned for future updates.

You can learn more about this release in our blogpost.

The latest updates to power your growth on Google Play

Google Play’s latest updates include enhanced Custom Store Listings for targeted user engagement, improved Deep Links in Play Console for better app-user connectivity, and an expanded Google Play Games on PC beta. Additionally, the platform introduced new features on its commerce platform to optimize in-app pricing and expand global payment methods, increased the compressed download size of APKs delivered from app bundles to 200MB for richer content delivery, and updated the Play Integrity API for faster and more secure app integrity checks.
