Cambiamenti del comportamento: app destinate ad Android 15 o versioni successive

Come le release precedenti, Android 15 include modifiche al comportamento che potrebbero influire sulla tua app. Le seguenti modifiche al comportamento si applicano esclusivamente alle app che hanno come target Android 15 o versioni successive. Se la tua app ha come target Android 15 o versioni successive, devi modificarla per supportare correttamente questi comportamenti, ove applicabile.

Assicurati di esaminare anche l'elenco delle modifiche al comportamento che interessano tutte le app in esecuzione su Android 15, indipendentemente dall'targetSdkVersion della tua app.

Funzionalità di base

Android 15 modifica o espande varie funzionalità di base del sistema Android.

Modifiche ai servizi in primo piano

We are making the following changes to foreground services with Android 15.

Data sync foreground service timeout behavior

Android 15 introduces a new timeout behavior to dataSync for apps targeting Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. This behavior also applies to the new mediaProcessing foreground service type.

The system permits an app's dataSync services to run for a total of 6 hours in a 24-hour period, after which the system calls the running service's Service.onTimeout(int, int) method (introduced in Android 15). At this time, the service has a few seconds to call Service.stopSelf(). When Service.onTimeout() is called, the service is no longer considered a foreground service. If the service does not call Service.stopSelf(), the system throws an internal exception. The exception is logged in Logcat with the following message:

Fatal Exception: android.app.RemoteServiceException: "A foreground service of
type dataSync did not stop within its timeout: [component name]"

To avoid problems with this behavior change, you can do one or more of the following:

  1. Have your service implement the new Service.onTimeout(int, int) method. When your app receives the callback, make sure to call stopSelf() within a few seconds. (If you don't stop the app right away, the system generates a failure.)
  2. Make sure your app's dataSync services don't run for more than a total of 6 hours in any 24-hour period (unless the user interacts with the app, resetting the timer).
  3. Only start dataSync foreground services as a result of direct user interaction; since your app is in the foreground when the service starts, your service has the full six hours after the app goes to the background.
  4. Instead of using a dataSync foreground service, use an alternative API.

If your app's dataSync foreground services have run for 6 hours in the last 24, you cannot start another dataSync foreground service unless the user has brought your app to the foreground (which resets the timer). If you try to start another dataSync foreground service, the system throws ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException with an error message like "Time limit already exhausted for foreground service type dataSync".

Testing

To test your app's behavior, you can enable data sync timeouts even if your app is not targeting Android 15 (as long as the app is running on an Android 15 device). To enable timeouts, run the following adb command:

adb shell am compat enable FGS_INTRODUCE_TIME_LIMITS your-package-name

You can also adjust the timeout period, to make it easier to test how your app behaves when the limit is reached. To set a new timeout period, run the following adb command:

adb shell device_config put activity_manager data_sync_fgs_timeout_duration duration-in-milliseconds

New media processing foreground service type

Android 15 introduces a new foreground service type, mediaProcessing. This service type is appropriate for operations like transcoding media files. For example, a media app might download an audio file and need to convert it to a different format before playing it. You can use a mediaProcessing foreground service to make sure the conversion continues even while the app is in the background.

The system permits an app's mediaProcessing services to run for a total of 6 hours in a 24-hour period, after which the system calls the running service's Service.onTimeout(int, int) method (introduced in Android 15). At this time, the service has a few seconds to call Service.stopSelf(). If the service does not call Service.stopSelf(), the system throws an internal exception. The exception is logged in Logcat with the following message:

Fatal Exception: android.app.RemoteServiceException: "A foreground service of
type mediaProcessing did not stop within its timeout: [component name]"

To avoid having the exception, you can do one of the following:

  1. Have your service implement the new Service.onTimeout(int, int) method. When your app receives the callback, make sure to call stopSelf() within a few seconds. (If you don't stop the app right away, the system generates a failure.)
  2. Make sure your app's mediaProcessing services don't run for more than a total of 6 hours in any 24-hour period (unless the user interacts with the app, resetting the timer).
  3. Only start mediaProcessing foreground services as a result of direct user interaction; since your app is in the foreground when the service starts, your service has the full six hours after the app goes to the background.
  4. Instead of using a mediaProcessing foreground service, use an alternative API, like WorkManager.

If your app's mediaProcessing foreground services have run for 6 hours in the last 24, you cannot start another mediaProcessing foreground service unless the user has brought your app to the foreground (which resets the timer). If you try to start another mediaProcessing foreground service, the system throws ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException with an error message like "Time limit already exhausted for foreground service type mediaProcessing".

For more information about the mediaProcessing service type, see Changes to foreground service types for Android 15: Media processing.

Testing

To test your app's behavior, you can enable media processing timeouts even if your app is not targeting Android 15 (as long as the app is running on an Android 15 device). To enable timeouts, run the following adb command:

adb shell am compat enable FGS_INTRODUCE_TIME_LIMITS your-package-name

You can also adjust the timeout period, to make it easier to test how your app behaves when the limit is reached. To set a new timeout period, run the following adb command:

adb shell device_config put activity_manager media_processing_fgs_timeout_duration duration-in-milliseconds

Restrictions on BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast receivers launching foreground services

There are new restrictions on BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast receivers launching foreground services. BOOT_COMPLETED receivers are not allowed to launch the following types of foreground services:

If a BOOT_COMPLETED receiver tries to launch any of those types of foreground services, the system throws ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException.

Testing

To test your app's behavior, you can enable these new restrictions even if your app is not targeting Android 15 (as long as the app is running on an Android 15 device). Run the following adb command:

adb shell am compat enable FGS_BOOT_COMPLETED_RESTRICTIONS your-package-name

To send a BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast without restarting the device, run the following adb command:

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED your-package-name

Restrictions on starting foreground services while an app holds the SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission

In precedenza, se un'app disponeva dell'autorizzazione SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW, poteva avviare un servizio in primo piano anche se l'app era attualmente in background (come discusso nella sezione Esclusioni dalle limitazioni di avvio in background).

Se un'app ha come target Android 15, l'esenzione è ora più limitata. Ora l'app deve avere l'autorizzazione SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW e anche una finestra overlay visibile. In altre parole, l'app deve prima avviare una finestra TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY e la finestra deve essere visibile prima di avviare un servizio in primo piano.

Se la tua app tenta di avviare un servizio in primo piano in background senza soddisfare questi nuovi requisiti (e non ha altre esenzioni), il sistema restituisce ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException.

Se la tua app dichiara l'autorizzazione SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW e avvia servizi in primo piano in background, potrebbe essere interessata da questa modifica. Se la tua app riceve un ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException, controlla l'ordine di operazioni dell'app e assicurati che abbia già una finestra in overlay attiva prima di tentare di avviare un servizio in primo piano da un servizio in background. Puoi controllare se la finestra dell'overlay è attualmente visibile chiamando View.getWindowVisibility() oppure puoi eseguire l'override di View.onWindowVisibilityChanged() per ricevere una notifica ogni volta che la visibilità cambia.

Test

Per testare il comportamento della tua app, puoi attivare queste nuove limitazioni anche se la tua app non ha come target Android 15 (a condizione che l'app sia in esecuzione su un dispositivo Android 15). Per attivare queste nuove limitazioni per l'avvio dei servizi in primo piano dall'background, esegui il seguente comando adb:

adb shell am compat enable FGS_SAW_RESTRICTIONS your-package-name

Modifiche all'orario in cui le app possono modificare lo stato globale della modalità Non disturbare

Le app che hanno come target Android 15 (livello API 35) e versioni successive non possono più modificare lo stato o i criteri globali della modalità Non disturbare (ND) su un dispositivo (modificando le impostazioni utente o disattivando la modalità ND). Le app devono invece fornire un AutomaticZenRule, che il sistema combina in una norma globale con lo schema vigente che prevede l'applicazione della norma più restrittiva. Le chiamate alle API esistenti che precedentemente influivano sullo stato globale (setInterruptionFilter, setNotificationPolicy) comportano la creazione o l'aggiornamento di un valore AutomaticZenRule implicito, che viene attivato e disattivato in base al ciclo di chiamata di queste chiamate API.

Tieni presente che questa modifica influisce sul comportamento osservabile solo se l'app chiama setInterruptionFilter(INTERRUPTION_FILTER_ALL) e si aspetta che la chiamata disattivi un AutomaticZenRule precedentemente attivato dai relativi proprietari.

Modifiche all'API OpenJDK

Android 15 continua il lavoro di aggiornamento delle librerie di base di Android per allinearle alle funzionalità delle ultime versioni LTS di OpenJDK.

Alcune di queste modifiche possono influire sulla compatibilità delle app che hanno come target Android 15 (livello API 35):

  • Modifiche alle API di formattazione delle stringhe: la convalida di indice, flag, larghezza e precisione degli argomenti è ora più rigorosa quando si utilizzano le seguenti API String.format() e Formatter.format():

    Ad esempio, la seguente eccezione viene generata quando viene utilizzato un indice di argomento pari a 0 (%0 nella stringa di formato):

    IllegalFormatArgumentIndexException: Illegal format argument index = 0

    In questo caso, il problema può essere risolto utilizzando un indice di argomento pari a 1 (%1 nella stringa di formato).

  • Modifiche al tipo di componente di Arrays.asList(...).toArray(): quando utilizzi Arrays.asList(...).toArray(), il tipo di componente dell'array risultante è ora Object, non il tipo degli elementi dell'array sottostante. Pertanto, il seguente codice genera un ClassCastException:

    String[] elements = (String[]) Arrays.asList("one", "two").toArray();

    In questo caso, per conservare String come tipo di componente nell'array risultante, puoi utilizzare Collection.toArray(Object[]):

    String[] elements = Arrays.asList("two", "one").toArray(new String[0]);

  • Modifiche alla gestione dei codici lingua: quando utilizzi l'API Locale, i codici lingua per ebraico, yiddish e indonesiano non vengono più convertiti nelle loro forme obsolete (ebraico: iw, yiddish: ji e indonesiano: in). Quando specifichi il codice lingua per una di queste impostazioni internazionali, utilizza i codici dello standard ISO 639-1 (ebraico: he, yiddish: yi e indonesiano: id).

  • Modifiche alle sequenze di numeri interi casuali: in seguito alle modifiche apportate in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301574, i seguenti metodi Random.ints() ora restituiscono una sequenza di numeri diversa da quella restituita dai metodi Random.nextInt():

    In generale, questa modifica non dovrebbe comportare un comportamento che interrompe il funzionamento dell'app, ma il tuo codice non deve prevedere che la sequenza generata dai metodi Random.ints() corrisponda a Random.nextInt().

La nuova API SequencedCollection può influire sulla compatibilità della tua app dopo che avrai aggiornato compileSdk nella configurazione di build della tua app per utilizzare Android 15 (livello API 35):

  • Collisione con le funzioni di estensione MutableList.removeFirst() e MutableList.removeLast() in kotlin-stdlib

    Il tipo List in Java viene mappato al tipo MutableList in Kotlin. Poiché le API List.removeFirst() e List.removeLast() sono state introdotte in Android 15 (livello API 35), il compilatore Kotlin risolve le chiamate di funzioni, ad esempio list.removeFirst(), in modo statico alle nuove API List anziché alle funzioni di estensione in kotlin-stdlib.

    Se un'app viene ricompilata con compileSdk impostato su 35 e minSdk impostato su 34 o versioni precedenti e poi viene eseguita su Android 14 e versioni precedenti, viene generato un errore di runtime:

    java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method
removeFirst()Ljava/lang/Object; in class Ljava/util/ArrayList;

    L'opzione lint NewApi esistente nel plug-in Android per Gradle può rilevare questi nuovi utilizzi dell'API.

    ./gradlew lint

MainActivity.kt:41: Error: Call requires API level 35 (current min is 34): java.util.List#removeFirst [NewApi]
      list.removeFirst()

    Per correggere l'eccezione di runtime e gli errori di lint, le chiamate di funzione removeFirst() e removeLast() possono essere sostituite rispettivamente con removeAt(0) e removeAt(list.lastIndex) in Kotlin. Se utilizzi Android Studio Ladybug | 2024.1.3 o versioni successive, è disponibile anche un'opzione di correzione rapida per questi errori.

    Valuta la possibilità di rimuovere @SuppressLint("NewApi") e lintOptions { disable 'NewApi' } se l'opzione di controllo è stata disattivata.

  • Collisione con altri metodi in Java

    Sono stati aggiunti nuovi metodi ai tipi esistenti, ad esempio List e Deque. Questi nuovi metodi potrebbero non essere compatibili con i metodi con lo stesso nome e gli stessi tipi di argomenti in altre interfacce e classi. In caso di collisione della firma del metodo con incompatibilità, il compilatore javac restituisce un errore in fase di compilazione. Per esempio:

    Errore di esempio 1:

    javac MyList.java

MyList.java:135: error: removeLast() in MyList cannot implement removeLast() in List
  public void removeLast() {
              ^
  return type void is not compatible with Object
  where E is a type-variable:
    E extends Object declared in interface List

    Esempio di errore 2:

    javac MyList.java

MyList.java:7: error: types Deque<Object> and List<Object> are incompatible;
public class MyList implements  List<Object>, Deque<Object> {
  both define reversed(), but with unrelated return types
1 error

    Errore di esempio 3:

    javac MyList.java

MyList.java:43: error: types List<E#1> and MyInterface<E#2> are incompatible;
public static class MyList implements List<Object>, MyInterface<Object> {
  class MyList inherits unrelated defaults for getFirst() from types List and MyInterface
  where E#1,E#2 are type-variables:
    E#1 extends Object declared in interface List
    E#2 extends Object declared in interface MyInterface
1 error

    Per correggere questi errori di compilazione, la classe che implementa queste interfacce deve eseguire l'override del metodo con un tipo restituito compatibile. Ad esempio:

    @Override
public Object getFirst() {
    return List.super.getFirst();
}

Sicurezza

Android 15 include modifiche che promuovono la sicurezza del sistema per proteggere app e utenti da app dannose.

Versioni TLS con restrizioni

Android 15 restricts the usage of TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1. These versions had previously been deprecated in Android, but are now disallowed for apps targeting Android 15.

Avvii di attività in background protetti

Android 15 protects users from malicious apps and gives them more control over their devices by adding changes that prevent malicious background apps from bringing other apps to the foreground, elevating their privileges, and abusing user interaction. Background activity launches have been restricted since Android 10 (API level 29).

Other changes

In addition to the restriction for UID matching, these other changes are also included:

  • Change PendingIntent creators to block background activity launches by default. This helps prevent apps from accidentally creating a PendingIntent that could be abused by malicious actors.
  • Don't bring an app to the foreground unless the PendingIntent sender allows it. This change aims to prevent malicious apps from abusing the ability to start activities in the background. By default, apps are not allowed to bring the task stack to the foreground unless the creator allows background activity launch privileges or the sender has background activity launch privileges.
  • Control how the top activity of a task stack can finish its task. If the top activity finishes a task, Android will go back to whichever task was last active. Moreover, if a non-top activity finishes its task, Android will go back to the home screen; it won't block the finish of this non-top activity.
  • Prevent launching arbitrary activities from other apps into your own task. This change prevents malicious apps from phishing users by creating activities that appear to be from other apps.
  • Block non-visible windows from being considered for background activity launches. This helps prevent malicious apps from abusing background activity launches to display unwanted or malicious content to users.

Intenzioni più sicure

Android 15 introduce nuove misure di sicurezza facoltative per rendere più sicuri gli intent e più robusto. Queste modifiche hanno lo scopo di prevenire potenziali vulnerabilità e usi impropri degli intent che possono essere sfruttati da app dannose. Esistono due metodi Principali miglioramenti alla sicurezza degli intent in Android 15:

  • Associa i filtri per intent di destinazione: gli intent che hanno come target componenti specifici devono che corrispondano esattamente alle specifiche del filtro per intent del target. Se invii un per avviare l'attività di un'altra app, il componente intent deve sono in linea con i filtri per intent dichiarati dell'attività ricevente.
  • Gli intent devono avere azioni:gli intent senza un'azione non corrisponderanno più i filtri di intent. Ciò significa che gli intent usati per avviare attività devono avere un'azione chiaramente definita.

Per verificare in che modo la tua app risponde a questi cambiamenti, usa StrictMode nell'app. Per vedere i dettagli log relativi alle violazioni dell'utilizzo di Intent, aggiungi il seguente metodo:

Kotlin

fun onCreate() {
    StrictMode.setVmPolicy(VmPolicy.Builder()
        .detectUnsafeIntentLaunch()
        .build()
    )
}

Java

public void onCreate() {
    StrictMode.setVmPolicy(new VmPolicy.Builder()
            .detectUnsafeIntentLaunch()
            .build());
}

Esperienza utente e UI di sistema

Android 15 include alcune modifiche volte a creare un'esperienza utente più coerente e intuitiva.

Modifiche all'inserto della finestra

There are two changes related to window insets in Android 15: edge-to-edge is enforced by default, and there are also configuration changes, such as the default configuration of system bars.

Edge-to-edge enforcement

Apps are edge-to-edge by default on devices running Android 15 if the app is targeting Android 15 (API level 35).

An app that targets Android 14 and is not edge-to-edge on an Android 15 device.


An app that targets Android 15 (API level 35) and is edge-to-edge on an Android 15 device. This app mostly uses Material 3 Compose Components that automatically apply insets. This screen is not negatively impacted by the Android 15 edge-to-edge enforcement.

This is a breaking change that might negatively impact your app's UI. The changes affect the following UI areas:

  • Gesture handle navigation bar
    • Transparent by default.
    • Bottom offset is disabled so content draws behind the system navigation bar unless insets are applied.
    • setNavigationBarColor and R.attr#navigationBarColor are deprecated and don't affect gesture navigation.
    • setNavigationBarContrastEnforced and R.attr#navigationBarContrastEnforced continue to have no effect on gesture navigation.
  • 3-button navigation
    • Opacity set to 80% by default, with color possibly matching the window background.
    • Bottom offset disabled so content draws behind the system navigation bar unless insets are applied.
    • setNavigationBarColor and R.attr#navigationBarColor are set to match the window background by default. The window background must be a color drawable for this default to apply. This API is deprecated but continues to affect 3-button navigation.
    • setNavigationBarContrastEnforced and R.attr#navigationBarContrastEnforced is true by default, which adds an 80% opaque background across 3-button navigation.
  • Status bar
    • Transparent by default.
    • The top offset is disabled so content draws behind the status bar unless insets are applied.
    • setStatusBarColor and R.attr#statusBarColor are deprecated and have no effect on Android 15.
    • setStatusBarContrastEnforced and R.attr#statusBarContrastEnforced are deprecated but still have an effect on Android 15.
  • Display cutout
    • layoutInDisplayCutoutMode of non-floating windows must be LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_ALWAYS. SHORT_EDGES, NEVER, and DEFAULT are interpreted as ALWAYS so that users don't see a black bar caused by the display cutout and appear edge-to-edge.

The following example shows an app before and after targeting Android 15 (API level 35), and before and after applying insets. This example is not comprehensive, this might appear differently on Android Auto.

An app that targets Android 14 and is not edge-to-edge on an Android 15 device.
An app that targets Android 15 (API level 35) and is edge-to-edge on an Android 15 device. However, many elements are now hidden by the status bar, 3-button navigation bar, or display cutout due to the Android 15 edge-to-edge enforcements. Hidden UI includes the Material 2 top app bar, floating action buttons, and list items.
An app that targets Android 15 (API level 35), is edge to edge on an Android 15 device and applies insets so that UI is not hidden.
What to check if your app is already edge-to-edge

If your app is already edge-to-edge and applies insets, you are mostly unimpacted, except in the following scenarios. However, even if you think you aren't impacted, we recommend you test your app.

  • You have a non-floating window, such as an Activity that uses SHORT_EDGES, NEVER or DEFAULT instead of LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_ALWAYS. If your app crashes on launch, this might be due to your splashscreen. You can either upgrade the core splashscreen dependency to 1.2.0-alpha01 or later or set window.attributes.layoutInDisplayCutoutMode = WindowManager.LayoutInDisplayCutoutMode.always.
  • There might be lower-traffic screens with occluded UI. Verify these less-visited screens don't have occluded UI. Lower-traffic screens include:
    • Onboarding or sign-in screens
    • Settings pages
What to check if your app is not already edge-to-edge

If your app is not already edge-to-edge, you are most likely impacted. In addition to the scenarios for apps that are already edge-to-edge, you should consider the following:

  • If your app uses Material 3 Components ( androidx.compose.material3) in compose, such as TopAppBar, BottomAppBar, and NavigationBar, these components are likely not impacted because they automatically handle insets.
  • If your app is using Material 2 Components ( androidx.compose.material) in Compose, these components don't automatically handle insets. However, you can get access to the insets and apply them manually. In androidx.compose.material 1.6.0 and later, use the windowInsets parameter to apply the insets manually for BottomAppBar, TopAppBar, BottomNavigation, and NavigationRail. Likewise, use the contentWindowInsets parameter for Scaffold.
  • If your app uses views and Material Components (com.google.android.material), most views-based Material Components such as BottomNavigationView, BottomAppBar, NavigationRailView, or NavigationView, handle insets and require no additional work. However, you need to add android:fitsSystemWindows="true" if using AppBarLayout.
  • For custom composables, apply the insets manually as padding. If your content is within a Scaffold, you can consume insets using the Scaffold padding values. Otherwise, apply padding using one of the WindowInsets.
  • If your app is using views and BottomSheet, SideSheet or custom containers, apply padding using ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener. For RecyclerView, apply padding using this listener and also add clipToPadding="false".
What to check if your app must offer custom background protection

If your app must offer custom background protection to 3-button navigation or the status bar, your app should place a composable or view behind the system bar using WindowInsets.Type#tappableElement() to get the 3-button navigation bar height or WindowInsets.Type#statusBars.

Additional edge-to-edge resources

See the Edge to Edge Views and Edge to Edge Compose guides for additional considerations on applying insets.

Deprecated APIs

The following APIs are deprecated but not disabled:

The following APIs are deprecated and disabled:

Stable configuration

If your app targets Android 15 (API level 35) or higher, Configuration no longer excludes the system bars. If you use the screen size in the Configuration class for layout calculation, you should replace it with better alternatives like an appropriate ViewGroup, WindowInsets, or WindowMetricsCalculator depending on your need.

Configuration has been available since API 1. It is typically obtained from Activity.onConfigurationChanged. It provides information like window density, orientation, and sizes. One important characteristic about the window sizes returned from Configuration is that it previously excluded the system bars.

The configuration size is typically used for resource selection, such as /res/layout-h500dp, and this is still a valid use case. However, using it for layout calculation has always been discouraged. If you do so, you should move away from it now. You should replace the use of Configuration with something more suitable depending on your use case.

If you use it to calculate the layout, use an appropriate ViewGroup, such as CoordinatorLayout or ConstraintLayout. If you use it to determine the height of the system navbar, use WindowInsets. If you want to know the current size of your app window, use computeCurrentWindowMetrics.

The following list describes the fields affected by this change:

L'attributo elegantTextHeight è impostato su true per impostazione predefinita.

For apps targeting Android 15 (API level 35), the elegantTextHeight TextView attribute becomes true by default, replacing the compact font used by default with some scripts that have large vertical metrics with one that is much more readable. The compact font was introduced to prevent breaking layouts; Android 13 (API level 33) prevents many of these breakages by allowing the text layout to stretch the vertical height utilizing the fallbackLineSpacing attribute.

In Android 15, the compact font still remains in the system, so your app can set elegantTextHeight to false to get the same behavior as before, but it is unlikely to be supported in upcoming releases. So, if your app supports the following scripts: Arabic, Lao, Myanmar, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Telugu or Thai, test your app by setting elegantTextHeight to true.

elegantTextHeight behavior for apps targeting Android 14 (API level 34) and lower.
elegantTextHeight behavior for apps targeting Android 15.

La larghezza di TextView cambia per le forme delle lettere complesse

In previous versions of Android, some cursive fonts or languages that have complex shaping might draw the letters in the previous or next character's area. In some cases, such letters were clipped at the beginning or ending position. Starting in Android 15, a TextView allocates width for drawing enough space for such letters and allows apps to request extra paddings to the left to prevent clipping.

Because this change affects how a TextView decides the width, TextView allocates more width by default if the app targets Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. You can enable or disable this behavior by calling the setUseBoundsForWidth API on TextView.

Because adding left padding might cause a misalignment for existing layouts, the padding is not added by default even for apps that target Android 15 or higher. However, you can add extra padding to preventing clipping by calling setShiftDrawingOffsetForStartOverhang.

The following examples show how these changes can improve text layout for some fonts and languages.

Standard layout for English text in a cursive font. Some of the letters are clipped. Here is the corresponding XML:

<TextView
    android:fontFamily="cursive"
    android:text="java" />
Layout for the same English text with additional width and padding. Here is the corresponding XML:

<TextView
    android:fontFamily="cursive"
    android:text="java"
    android:useBoundsForWidth="true"
    android:shiftDrawingOffsetForStartOverhang="true" />
Standard layout for Thai text. Some of the letters are clipped. Here is the corresponding XML:

<TextView
    android:text="คอมพิวเตอร์" />
Layout for the same Thai text with additional width and padding. Here is the corresponding XML:

<TextView
    android:text="คอมพิวเตอร์"
    android:useBoundsForWidth="true"
    android:shiftDrawingOffsetForStartOverhang="true" />

Altezza della riga predefinita sensibile alle impostazioni internazionali per EditText

In previous versions of Android, the text layout stretched the height of the text to meet the line height of the font that matched the current locale. For example, if the content was in Japanese, because the line height of the Japanese font is slightly larger than the one of a Latin font, the height of the text became slightly larger. However, despite these differences in line heights, the EditText element was sized uniformly, regardless of the locale being used, as illustrated in the following image:

Three boxes representing EditText elements that can contain text from English (en), Japanese (ja), and Burmese (my). The height of the EditText is the same, even though these languages have different line heights from each other.

For apps targeting Android 15 (API level 35), a minimum line height is now reserved for EditText to match the reference font for the specified Locale, as shown in the following image:

Three boxes representing EditText elements that can contain text from English (en), Japanese (ja), and Burmese (my). The height of the EditText now includes space to accommodate the default line height for these languages' fonts.

If needed, your app can restore the previous behavior by specifying the useLocalePreferredLineHeightForMinimum attribute to false, and your app can set custom minimum vertical metrics using the setMinimumFontMetrics API in Kotlin and Java.

Fotocamera e contenuti multimediali

Android 15 apporta le seguenti modifiche al comportamento della fotocamera e dei contenuti multimediali per le app che hanno come target Android 15 o versioni successive.

Limitazioni relative alla richiesta di messa a fuoco dell'audio

Per richiedere l'attenzione audio, le app che hanno come target Android 15 (livello API 35) devono essere l'app principale o eseguire un servizio in primo piano. Se un'app tenta di richiedere lo stato attivo quando non soddisfa uno di questi requisiti, la chiamata restituisce AUDIOFOCUS_REQUEST_FAILED.

Per scoprire di più sul controllo audio, consulta l'articolo Gestire il controllo audio.

Limitazioni non SDK aggiornate

Android 15 includes updated lists of restricted non-SDK interfaces based on collaboration with Android developers and the latest internal testing. Whenever possible, we make sure that public alternatives are available before we restrict non-SDK interfaces.

If your app does not target Android 15, some of these changes might not immediately affect you. However, while it's possible for your app to access some non-SDK interfaces depending on your app's target API level, using any non-SDK method or field always carries a high risk of breaking your app.

If you are unsure if your app uses non-SDK interfaces, you can test your app to find out. If your app relies on non-SDK interfaces, you should begin planning a migration to SDK alternatives. Nevertheless, we understand that some apps have valid use cases for using non-SDK interfaces. If you can't find an alternative to using a non-SDK interface for a feature in your app, you should request a new public API.

To learn more about the changes in this release of Android, see Updates to non-SDK interface restrictions in Android 15. To learn more about non-SDK interfaces generally, see Restrictions on non-SDK interfaces.
