Internacionalização

Seleção de idioma por app

Android 14 expands on the per-app language features that were introduced in Android 13 (API level 33) with these additional capabilities:

• Automatically generate an app's localeConfig: Starting with Android Studio Giraffe Canary 7 and AGP 8.1.0-alpha07, you can configure your app to support per-app language preferences automatically. Based on your project resources, the Android Gradle plugin generates the LocaleConfig file and adds a reference to it in the final manifest file, so you no longer have to create or update the file manually. AGP uses the resources in the res folders of your app modules and any library module dependencies to determine the locales to include in the LocaleConfig file.

• Dynamic updates for an app's localeConfig: Use the setOverrideLocaleConfig() and getOverrideLocaleConfig() methods in LocaleManager to dynamically update your app's list of supported languages in the device's system settings. Use this flexibility to customize the list of supported languages per region, run A/B experiments, or provide an updated list of locales if your app utilizes server-side pushes for localization.

• App language visibility for input method editors (IMEs): IMEs can utilize the getApplicationLocales() method to check the language of the current app and match the IME language to that language.

API Grammatical Inflection

Três bilhões de pessoas falam idiomas com marcação de gênero: idiomas em que categorias gramaticais, como substantivos, verbos, adjetivos e preposições, mudam de acordo com o gênero das pessoas e os objetos sobre os quais elas falam. Tradicionalmente, vários idiomas com marcação de gênero usam o gênero gramatical masculino como padrão ou genérico.

Referir-se a usuários no gênero gramatical errado, como falar com uma mulher no gênero gramatical masculino, pode afetar negativamente o desempenho e a atitude dela. Por outro lado, uma interface com linguagem que reflete corretamente o gênero gramatical do usuário pode melhorar o engajamento e fornecer uma experiência do usuário mais personalizada e natural.

To help you build a user-centric UI for gendered languages, Android 14 introduces the Grammatical Inflection API, which lets you add support for grammatical gender without refactoring your app.

Preferências regionais

Regional preferences enable users to personalize temperature units, the first day of the week, and numbering systems. A European living in the United States might prefer temperature units to be in Celsius rather than Fahrenheit and for apps to treat Monday as the beginning of the week instead of the US default of Sunday.

New Android Settings menus for these preferences provide users with a discoverable and centralized location to change app preferences. These preferences also persist through backup and restore. Several APIs and intents—such as getTemperatureUnit and getFirstDayOfWeek— grant your app read access to user preferences, so your app can adjust how it displays information. You can also register a BroadcastReceiver on ACTION_LOCALE_CHANGED to handle locale configuration changes when regional preferences change.

To find these settings, open the Settings app and navigate to System > Languages & input > Regional preferences.

Acessibilidade

Dimensionamento de fonte não linear para 200%

Starting in Android 14, the system supports font scaling up to 200%, providing low-vision users with additional accessibility options that align with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

To prevent large text elements on screen from scaling too large, the system applies a nonlinear scaling curve. This scaling strategy means that large text doesn't scale at the same rate as smaller text. Nonlinear font scaling helps preserve the proportional hierarchy between elements of different sizes while mitigating issues with linear text scaling at high degrees (such as text being cut off or text that becomes harder to read due to an extremely large display sizes).

Test your app with nonlinear font scaling

If you already use scaled pixels (sp) units to define text sizing, then these additional options and scaling improvements are applied automatically to the text in your app. However, you should still perform UI testing with the maximum font size enabled (200%) to ensure that your app applies the font sizes correctly and can accommodate larger font sizes without impacting usability.

To enable 200% font size, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app and navigate to Accessibility > Display size and text.
2. For the Font size option, tap the plus (+) icon until the maximum font size setting is enabled, as shown in the image that accompanies this section.

Use scaled pixel (sp) units for text-sizes

Remember to always specify text sizes in sp units. When your app uses sp units, Android can apply the user's preferred text size and scale it appropriately.

Don't use sp units for padding or define view heights assuming implicit padding: with nonlinear font scaling sp dimensions might not be proportional, so 4sp + 20sp might not equal 24sp.

Convert scaled pixel (sp) units

Use TypedValue.applyDimension() to convert from sp units to pixels, and use TypedValue.deriveDimension() to convert pixels to sp. These methods apply the appropriate nonlinear scaling curve automatically.

Avoid hardcoding equations using Configuration.fontScale or DisplayMetrics.scaledDensity. Because font scaling is nonlinear, the scaledDensity field is no longer accurate. The fontScale field should be used for informational purposes only because fonts are no longer scaled with a single scalar value.

Use sp units for lineHeight

Always define android:lineHeight using sp units instead of dp, so the line height scales along with your text. Otherwise, if your text is sp but your lineHeight is in dp or px, it doesn't scale and looks cramped. TextView automatically corrects the lineHeight so that your intended proportions are preserved, but only if both textSize and lineHeight are defined in sp units.

Câmera e mídia

Ultra HDR para imagens

Android 14 adds support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) images that retain more of the information from the sensor when taking a photo, which enables vibrant colors and greater contrast. Android uses the Ultra HDR format, which is fully backward compatible with JPEG images, allowing apps to seamlessly interoperate with HDR images, displaying them in Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) as needed.

Rendering these images in the UI in HDR is done automatically by the framework when your app opts in to using HDR UI for its Activity Window, either through a manifest entry or at runtime by calling Window.setColorMode(). You can also capture compressed Ultra HDR still images on supported devices. With more colors recovered from the sensor, editing in post can be more flexible. The Gainmap associated with Ultra HDR images can be used to render them using OpenGL or Vulkan.

Zoom, foco, pós-visualização e muito mais nas extensões de câmera

Android 14 upgrades and improves camera extensions, allowing apps to handle longer processing times, which enables improved images using compute-intensive algorithms like low-light photography on supported devices. These features give users an even more robust experience when using camera extension capabilities. Examples of these improvements include:

• Dynamic still capture processing latency estimation provides much more accurate still capture latency estimates based on the current scene and environment conditions. Call CameraExtensionSession.getRealtimeStillCaptureLatency() to get a StillCaptureLatency object that has two latency estimation methods. The getCaptureLatency() method returns the estimated latency between onCaptureStarted and onCaptureProcessStarted(), and the getProcessingLatency() method returns the estimated latency between onCaptureProcessStarted() and the final processed frame being available.
• Support for capture progress callbacks so that apps can display the current progress of long-running, still-capture processing operations. You can check if this feature is available with CameraExtensionCharacteristics.isCaptureProcessProgressAvailable, and if it is, you implement the onCaptureProcessProgressed() callback, which has the progress (from 0 to 100) passed in as a parameter.

• Extension specific metadata, such as CaptureRequest.EXTENSION_STRENGTH for dialing in the amount of an extension effect, such as the amount of background blur with EXTENSION_BOKEH.

• Postview Feature for Still Capture in camera extensions, which provides a less-processed image more quickly than the final image. If an extension has increased processing latency, a postview image could be provided as a placeholder to improve UX and switched out later for the final image. You can check if this feature is available with CameraExtensionCharacteristics.isPostviewAvailable. Then you can pass an OutputConfiguration to ExtensionSessionConfiguration.setPostviewOutputConfiguration.

• Support for SurfaceView allowing for a more optimized and power-efficient preview render path.

• Support for tap to focus and zoom during extension usage.

Zoom no sensor

When REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES_STREAM_USE_CASE in CameraCharacteristics contains SCALER_AVAILABLE_STREAM_USE_CASES_CROPPED_RAW, your app can use advanced sensor capabilities to give a cropped RAW stream the same pixels as the full field of view by using a CaptureRequest with a RAW target that has stream use case set to CameraMetadata.SCALER_AVAILABLE_STREAM_USE_CASES_CROPPED_RAW. By implementing the request override controls, the updated camera gives users zoom control even before other camera controls are ready.

Áudio USB sem perdas

O Android 14 oferece suporte a formatos de áudio sem perda para experiências de áudio de alta qualidade com fones de ouvido com fio USB. É possível consultar um dispositivo USB para saber os atributos de mixer preferidos, registrar um listener para mudanças nos atributos de mixer preferidos e configurar atributos de mixer usando a classe AudioMixerAttributes. Essa classe representa o formato, como máscara de canal, taxa de amostragem e comportamento do mixer de áudio. A classe permite que o áudio seja enviado diretamente, sem mixagem, ajuste de volume ou efeitos de processamento.

Produtividade e ferramentas para desenvolvedores

Credential Manager

O Android 14 adiciona o Gerenciador de credenciais como uma API da plataforma, com suporte adicional para dispositivos com o Android 4.4 (nível 19 da API) por meio de uma biblioteca Jetpack que usa o Google Play Services. O objetivo do Gerenciador de credenciais é facilitar o login para os usuários com APIs que extraem e armazenam credenciais com provedores de credenciais configurados pelo usuário. O Gerenciador de credenciais oferece suporte a vários métodos de login, incluindo nome de usuário e senha, chaves de acesso e soluções de login federadas (como o recurso Fazer login com o Google) em uma única API.

As chaves de acesso oferecem muitas vantagens. Por exemplo, as chaves de acesso são criadas com base nos padrões do setor, podem funcionar em diferentes sistemas operacionais e ecossistemas de navegadores e podem ser usadas em sites e apps.

Para mais informações, consulte a documentação do Gerenciador de credenciais e das chaves de acesso e o post do blog sobre o Gerenciador de credenciais e as chaves de acesso.

Conexão Saúde

Health Connect is an on-device repository for user health and fitness data. It allows users to share data between their favorite apps, with a single place to control what data they want to share with these apps.

On devices running Android versions prior to Android 14, Health Connect is available to download as an app on the Google Play store. Starting with Android 14, Health Connect is part of the platform and receives updates through Google Play system updates without requiring a separate download. With this, Health Connect can be updated frequently, and your apps can rely on Health Connect being available on devices running Android 14 or higher. Users can access Health Connect from the Settings in their device, with privacy controls integrated into the system settings.

Users can get started using Health Connect without a separate app download on devices running Android 14 or higher.

Users can control which apps have access to their health and fitness data through system settings.

Health Connect includes several new features in Android 14, such as exercise routes, allowing users to share a route of their workout which can be visualized on a map. A route is defined as a list of locations saved within a window of time, and your app can insert routes into exercise sessions, tying them together. To ensure that users have complete control over this sensitive data, users must allow sharing individual routes with other apps.

For more information, see the Health Connection documentation and the blogpost on What's new in Android Health.

Atualizações do OpenJDK 17

Android 14 continues the work of refreshing Android's core libraries to align with the features in the latest OpenJDK LTS releases, including both library updates and Java 17 language support for app and platform developers.

The following features and improvements are included:

• Updated approximately 300 java.base classes to Java 17 support.
• Text Blocks, which introduce multi-line string literals to the Java programming language.
• Pattern Matching for instanceof, which allows an object to be treated as having a specific type in an instanceof without any additional variables.
• Sealed classes, which allow you restrict which classes and interfaces can extend or implement them.

Thanks to Google Play system updates (Project Mainline), over 600 million devices are enabled to receive the latest Android Runtime (ART) updates that include these changes. This is part of our commitment to give apps a more consistent, secure environment across devices, and to deliver new features and capabilities to users independent of platform releases.

Melhorias para app stores

Android 14 introduces several PackageInstaller APIs that allow app stores to improve their user experience.

Request install approval before downloading

Installing or updating an app might require user approval. For example, when an installer making use of the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission attempts to install a new app. In prior Android versions, app stores can only request user approval after APKs are written to the install session and the session is committed.

Starting with Android 14, the requestUserPreapproval() method lets installers request user approval before committing the install session. This improvement lets an app store defer downloading any APKs until after the installation has been approved by the user. Furthermore, once a user has approved installation, the app store can download and install the app in the background without interrupting the user.

Claim responsibility for future updates

The setRequestUpdateOwnership() method allows an installer to indicate to the system that it intends to be responsible for future updates to an app it is installing. This capability enables update ownership enforcement, meaning that only the update owner is permitted to install automatic updates to the app. Update ownership enforcement helps to ensure that users receive updates only from the expected app store.

Any other installer, including those making use of the INSTALL_PACKAGES permission, must receive explicit user approval in order to install an update. If a user decides to proceed with an update from another source, update ownership is lost.

Update apps at less-disruptive times

App stores typically want to avoid updating an app that is actively in use because this leads to the app's running processes being killed, which potentially interrupts what the user was doing.

Starting with Android 14, the InstallConstraints API gives installers a way to ensure that their app updates happen at an opportune moment. For example, an app store can call the commitSessionAfterInstallConstraintsAreMet() method to make sure that an update is only committed when the user is no longer interacting with the app in question.

Seamlessly install optional splits

With split APKs, features of an app can be delivered in separate APK files, rather than as a monolithic APK. Split APKs allow app stores to optimize the delivery of different app components. For example, app stores might optimize based on the properties of the target device. The PackageInstaller API has supported splits since its introduction in API level 22.

In Android 14, the setDontKillApp() method allows an installer to indicate that the app's running processes shouldn't be killed when new splits are installed. App stores can use this feature to seamlessly install new features of an app while the user is using the app.

Pacotes de metadados do app

Starting in Android 14, the Android package installer lets you specify app metadata, such as data safety practices, to include on app store pages such as Google Play.

Detectar quando usuários fazem capturas de tela no dispositivo

Para criar uma experiência mais padronizada para detectar capturas de tela, o Android 14 apresenta uma API de detecção de capturas de tela que preserva a privacidade. Ela permite que os apps registrem callbacks por atividade. Esses callbacks são invocados, e o usuário é notificado quando faz uma captura de tela enquanto a atividade está visível.

Experiência do usuário

Ações personalizadas e melhoria na classificação do Sharesheet

Android 14 updates the system sharesheet to support custom app actions and more informative preview results for users.

Add custom actions

With Android 14, your app can add custom actions to the system sharesheet it invokes.

Improve ranking of Direct Share targets

Android 14 uses more signals from apps to determine the ranking of the direct share targets to provide more helpful results for the user. To provide the most useful signal for ranking, follow the guidance for improving rankings of your Direct Share targets. Communication apps can also report shortcut usage for outgoing and incoming messages.

Suporte a animações de voltas preditivas integradas e personalizadas

Android 13 introduced the predictive back-to-home animation behind a developer option. When used in a supported app with the developer option enabled, swiping back shows an animation indicating that the back gesture exits the app back to the home screen.

Android 14 includes multiple improvements and new guidance for Predictive Back:

• You can set android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback=true to opt in to predictive back system animations per-Activity instead of for the entire app.
• We've added new system animations to accompany the back-to-home animation from Android 13. The new system animations are cross-activity and cross-task, which you get automatically after migrating to Predictive Back.
• We've added new Material Component animations for Bottom sheets, Side sheets, and Search.
• We've created design guidance for creating custom in-app animations and transitions.
• We've added new APIs to support custom in-app transition animations:
  • handleOnBackStarted, handleOnBackProgressed, handleOnBackCancelled in OnBackPressedCallback
  • onBackStarted, onBackProgressed, onBackCancelled in OnBackAnimationCallback
  • Use overrideActivityTransition instead of overridePendingTransition for transitions that respond as the user swipes back.

With this Android 14 preview release, all features of Predictive Back remain behind a developer option. See the developer guide to migrate your app to predictive back, as well as the developer guide to creating custom in-app transitions.

Substituições por app do fabricante de dispositivos de tela grande

Per-app overrides enable device manufacturers to change the behavior of apps on large screen devices. For example, the FORCE_RESIZE_APP override instructs the system to resize the app to fit display dimensions (avoiding size compatibility mode) even if resizeableActivity="false" is set in the app manifest.

Overrides are intended to improve the user experience on large screens.

New manifest properties enable you to disable some device manufacturer overrides for your app.

Substituições por app para usuários de telas grandes

As substituições por app mudam o comportamento dos apps em dispositivos de tela grande. Por exemplo, a substituição do fabricante do dispositivo OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_LARGE define a proporção do app como 16:9, independente da configuração dele.

O Android 14 QPR1 permite que os usuários apliquem substituições por app usando um novo menu de configurações em dispositivos de tela grande.

Compartilhamento de tela de app

App screen sharing enables users to share an app window instead of the entire device screen during screen content recording.

With app screen sharing, the status bar, navigation bar, notifications, and other system UI elements are excluded from the shared display. Only the content of the selected app is shared.

App screen sharing improves productivity and privacy by enabling users to run multiple apps but limit content sharing to a single app.

Gráficos

Os caminhos podem ser consultados e interpolados

A API Path do Android é um mecanismo avançado e flexível para criar e renderizar gráficos vetoriais, com a capacidade de traçar ou preencher um caminho, construir um caminho a partir de segmentos de linha ou curvas quadráticas ou cúbicas, realizar operações booleanas para conseguir formas ainda mais complexas ou todas essas formas simultaneamente. Uma limitação é a capacidade de descobrir o que está presente em um objeto de caminho. Os componentes internos do objeto são opacos para autores de chamadas após a criação.

Para criar um Path, chame métodos como moveTo(), lineTo() e cubicTo() para adicionar segmentos de caminho. Mas não há uma maneira de perguntar a esse caminho quais são os segmentos. Portanto, você precisa manter essas informações no momento da criação.

A partir do Android 14, é possível consultar caminhos para descobrir o que há dentro deles. Primeiro, você precisa conseguir um objeto PathIterator usando a API Path.getPathIterator:

val path = Path().apply {
    moveTo(1.0f, 1.0f)
    lineTo(2.0f, 2.0f)
    close()
}
val pathIterator = path.pathIterator

Path path = new Path();
path.moveTo(1.0F, 1.0F);
path.lineTo(2.0F, 2.0F);
path.close();
PathIterator pathIterator = path.getPathIterator();

Em seguida, chame PathIterator para iterar os segmentos um por um, recuperando todos os dados necessários para cada segmento. Este exemplo usa objetos PathIterator.Segment, que empacotam os dados para você:

for (segment in pathIterator) {
    println("segment: ${segment.verb}, ${segment.points}")
}

while (pathIterator.hasNext()) {
    PathIterator.Segment segment = pathIterator.next();
    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "segment: " + segment.getVerb() + ", " + segment.getPoints());
}

O PathIterator também tem uma versão não alocada de next(), em que é possível transmitir um buffer para armazenar os dados dos pontos.

Um dos casos de uso importantes para consultar os dados Path é a interpolação. Por exemplo, você pode querer animar (ou transformar) entre dois caminhos diferentes. Para simplificar ainda mais esse caso de uso, o Android 14 também inclui o método interpolate() em Path. Supondo que os dois caminhos tenham a mesma estrutura interna, o método interpolate() cria um novo Path com esse resultado interpolado. Este exemplo retorna um caminho com um formato que está na metade do caminho (uma interpolação linear de 0,5) entre path e otherPath:

val interpolatedResult = Path()
if (path.isInterpolatable(otherPath)) {
    path.interpolate(otherPath, .5f, interpolatedResult)
}

Path interpolatedResult = new Path();
if (path.isInterpolatable(otherPath)) {
    path.interpolate(otherPath, 0.5F, interpolatedResult);
}

A biblioteca graphics-path do Jetpack também permite APIs semelhantes em versões anteriores do Android.

Malhas personalizadas com shaders de vértice e fragmento

O Android já oferece suporte a renderização de malhas triangulares com sombreamento personalizado, mas o formato de malha de entrada foi limitado a algumas combinações de atributos predefinidas. O Android 14 adiciona suporte a malhas personalizadas, que podem ser definidas como triângulos ou faixas de triângulo, e podem ser indexadas, se necessário. Essas malhas são especificadas com atributos personalizados, incrementos de vértice, variação e sombreadores de vértice e fragmento escritos em AGSL.

O sombreador de vértice define as variações, como posição e cor, enquanto o sombreador de fragmentos pode definir a cor do pixel, normalmente usando as variações criadas pelo sombreador de vértice. Se a cor for fornecida pelo shader de fragmentos, ela será mesclada com a cor Paint atual usando o modo de mesclagem selecionado ao desenhar a malha. Os uniformes podem ser transmitidos para os sombreadores de fragmentos e vértices para mais flexibilidade.

Renderizador de buffer de hardware para Canvas

To assist in using Android's Canvas API to draw with hardware acceleration into a HardwareBuffer, Android 14 introduces HardwareBufferRenderer. This API is particularly useful when your use case involves communication with the system compositor through SurfaceControl for low-latency drawing.
