Scale your app for every screen with Compose

From the creator

The Android ecosystem is vast, with users shifting seamlessly across phones, tablets, foldables, and desktop environments. Now that we are Compose First, this session explores how to architect your app for resizable windows and diverse aspect ratios—where traditional layout assumptions break down, leading to stretched UIs and lost state. Explore how the latest capabilities in Jetpack Compose, Navigation 3, and WindowManager can help you build dynamic layouts that naturally scale from compact screens to dual-pane displays. Walk away with strategies to accelerate your development workflow using Gemini and our skills, like the adaptive skill, to automatically refactor legacy codebases for larger screens.
