Android 14 is the brand new generation of Google’s operating system for smartphones, arriving a few weeks ago on Pixels and recently also on Samsung’s Galaxy S23.
We have already seen in detail most of of the new features of Android 14, but today we discover one that closely concerns folding smartphones.
In fact, with Android 14 Google introduced the bookshelf Jetpack WindowManager. The name is not particularly evocative, but it is a library that will allow you to run on both screens of the leaflets the Android apps. This will prove to be a tangible change in the daily use of foldable smartphones.
We have an example of this functionality with the Interpreter mode that Google previewed on the Pixel Fold. This feature he was not present at the launch of the device, precisely because Android 14 in a stable version had not yet been released. In fact, after its release it was immediately introduced on Pixel Fold.
This new library provides the possibility of receiving information from state And from the opening angle of the hinge on foldable smartphones, so as to tell the system if start or not running the open app or apps on both displays.
This is certainly something new will increase productivity on the leaflets, the screenshots you find in the gallery show some tests carried out on foldables such as the Pixel Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 5, on which it was possible to run an app on both screens with different content after updating them to Android 14.
