Cámara y contenido multimedia
Android 15 incluye una variedad de funciones que mejoran la experiencia de la cámara y el contenido multimedia, y te brindan acceso a herramientas y hardware para ayudar a los creadores a dar vida a su visión en Android.
Para obtener más información sobre las funciones y soluciones para desarrolladores más recientes de contenido multimedia y cámaras de Android, consulta la charla Cómo crear experiencias modernas de contenido multimedia y cámaras de Android de Google I/O.
Mejora con poca luz
Android 15 introduces Low Light Boost, an auto-exposure mode available to both Camera 2 and the night mode camera extension. Low Light Boost adjusts the exposure of the Preview stream in low-light conditions. This is different from how the night mode camera extension creates still images, because night mode combines a burst of photos to create a single, enhanced image. While night mode works very well for creating a still image, it can't create a continuous stream of frames, but Low Light Boost can. Thus, Low Light Boost enables camera capabilities, such as:
- Providing an enhanced image preview, so users are better able to frame their low-light pictures
- Scanning QR codes in low light
If you enable Low Light Boost, it automatically turns on when there's a low light level, and turns off when there's more light.
Apps can record off the Preview stream in low-light conditions to save a brightened video.
For more information, see Low Light Boost.
Controles de la cámara en la app
Android 15 adds an extension for more control over the camera hardware and its algorithms on supported devices:
- Advanced flash strength adjustments enabling precise control of flash
intensity in both
SINGLE
andTORCH
modes while capturing images.
Control de margen de HDR
Android 15 chooses HDR headroom that is appropriate for the underlying device
capabilities and bit-depth of the panel. For pages that have lots of SDR
content, such as a messaging app displaying a single HDR thumbnail, this
behavior can end up adversely influencing the perceived brightness of the SDR
content. Android 15 lets you control the HDR headroom with
setDesiredHdrHeadroom
to strike a balance between SDR
and HDR content.

Control de volumen
Android 15 introduces support for the CTA-2075 loudness standard to help you avoid audio loudness inconsistencies and ensure users don't have to constantly adjust volume when switching between content. The system leverages known characteristics of the output devices (headphones and speaker) along with loudness metadata available in AAC audio content to intelligently adjust the audio loudness and dynamic range compression levels.
To enable this feature, you need to ensure loudness metadata is available in
your AAC content and enable the platform feature in your app. For this, you
instantiate a LoudnessCodecController
object by
calling its create factory method with the audio
session ID from the associated AudioTrack
; this
automatically starts applying audio updates. You can pass an
OnLoudnessCodecUpdateListener
to modify or filter
loudness parameters before they are applied on the
MediaCodec
.
// Media contains metadata of type MPEG_4 OR MPEG_D
val mediaCodec = …
val audioTrack = AudioTrack.Builder()
.setSessionId(sessionId)
.build()
...
// Create new loudness controller that applies the parameters to the MediaCodec
try {
val lcController = LoudnessCodecController.create(mSessionId)
// Starts applying audio updates for each added MediaCodec
}
AndroidX media3 ExoPlayer will also be updated to use the
LoudnessCodecController
APIs for a seamless app integration.
Dispositivos MIDI 2.0 virtuales
Android 13 added support for connecting to MIDI 2.0 devices using USB, which communicate using Universal MIDI Packets (UMP). Android 15 extends UMP support to virtual MIDI apps, enabling composition apps to control synthesizer apps as a virtual MIDI 2.0 device just like they would with an USB MIDI 2.0 device.
Decodificación de software AV1 más eficiente
dav1d, el popular decodificador de software AV1 de VideoLAN, está disponible para dispositivos Android que no admiten la decodificación de AV1 en hardware. dav1d tiene hasta 3 veces más rendimiento que el decodificador de software AV1 heredado, lo que permite la reproducción de AV1 en HD para más usuarios, incluidos algunos dispositivos de nivel bajo y medio.
Tu app debe habilitar el uso de dav1d invocándolo por nombre "c2.android.av1-dav1d.decoder"
. dav1d se convertirá en el decodificador de software de AV1 predeterminado en una actualización posterior. Esta compatibilidad está estandarizada y se ofrece portabilidad a los dispositivos Android 11 que reciben actualizaciones del sistema de Google Play.
Productividad y herramientas para desarrolladores
Si bien la mayor parte de nuestro trabajo para mejorar tu productividad se centra en herramientas como Android Studio, Jetpack Compose y las bibliotecas de Android Jetpack, siempre buscamos formas en la plataforma para ayudarte a materializar tu visión con mayor facilidad.

Mejoras en los archivos PDF
Android 15 includes substantial improvements to the PdfRenderer
APIs. Apps can incorporate advanced features such as rendering
password-protected files, annotations, form editing,
searching, and selection with copy. Linearized PDF
optimizations are supported to speed local PDF viewing and reduce resource use.
The Jetpack PDF library uses these APIs to simplify adding PDF
viewing capabilities to your app.

The PdfRenderer
has been moved to a module that can be updated using Google
Play system updates independent of the platform release, and we're supporting
these changes back to Android 11 (API level 30) by creating a compatible
pre-Android 15 version of the API surface, called
PdfRendererPreV
.
Refinamientos del cambio automático de idioma
Android 14 added on-device, multi-language recognition in audio with automatic
switching between languages, but this can cause words to get dropped,
especially when languages switch with less of a pause between the two
utterances. Android 15 adds additional controls to help apps tune this switching
to their use case.
EXTRA_LANGUAGE_SWITCH_INITIAL_ACTIVE_DURATION_TIME_MILLIS
confines the automatic switching to the beginning of the audio session, while
EXTRA_LANGUAGE_SWITCH_MATCH_SWITCHES
deactivates the
language switching after a defined number of switches. These options are
particularly useful if you expect that there will be a single language spoken
during the session that should be autodetected.
API de fuentes variables OpenType mejorada
Android 15 improves the usability of the OpenType variable font. You can create
a FontFamily
instance from a variable font without specifying weight axes
with the buildVariableFamily
API. The text renderer overrides the value
of wght
axis to match the displaying text.
Using the API simplifies the code for creating a Typeface
considerably:
Kotlin
val newTypeface = Typeface.CustomFallbackBuilder( FontFamily.Builder( Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf").build()) .buildVariableFamily()) .build()
Java
Typeface newTypeface = Typeface.CustomFallbackBuilder( new FontFamily.Builder( new Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf").build()) .buildVariableFamily()) .build();
Previously, to create the same Typeface
, you would need much more code:
Kotlin
val oldTypeface = Typeface.CustomFallbackBuilder( FontFamily.Builder( Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 400") .setWeight(400) .build()) .addFont( Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 100") .setWeight(100) .build() ) .addFont( Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 200") .setWeight(200) .build() ) .addFont( Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 300") .setWeight(300) .build() ) .addFont( Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 500") .setWeight(500) .build() ) .addFont( Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 600") .setWeight(600) .build() ) .addFont( Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 700") .setWeight(700) .build() ) .addFont( Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 800") .setWeight(800) .build() ) .addFont( Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 900") .setWeight(900) .build() ).build() ).build()
Java
Typeface oldTypeface = new Typeface.CustomFallbackBuilder( new FontFamily.Builder( new Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 400") .setWeight(400) .build() ) .addFont( new Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 100") .setWeight(100) .build() ) .addFont( new Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 200") .setWeight(200) .build() ) .addFont( new Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 300") .setWeight(300) .build() ) .addFont( new Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 500") .setWeight(500) .build() ) .addFont( new Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 600") .setWeight(600) .build() ) .addFont( new Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 700") .setWeight(700) .build() ) .addFont( new Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 800") .setWeight(800) .build() ) .addFont( new Font.Builder(assets, "RobotoFlex.ttf") .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 900") .setWeight(900) .build() ) .build() ).build();
Here's an example of how a Typeface
created with both the old and new APIs
renders:
In this example, the Typeface
created with the old API doesn't have the
capability to create accurate font weights for the 350, 450, 550 and 650
Font
instances, so the renderer falls back to the closest weight. So in
this case, 300 is rendered instead of 350, 400 is rendered instead of 450, and
so on. By contrast, the Typeface
created with the new APIs dynamically creates
a Font
instance for a given weight, so accurate weights are rendered for 350,
450, 550, and 650 as well.
Controles detallados de saltos de línea
Starting in Android 15, a TextView
and the underlying
line breaker can preserve the given portion of text in the same line to improve
readability. You can take advantage of this line break customization by using
the <nobreak>
tag in string resources or
createNoBreakSpan
. Similarly, you can preserve words from
hyphenation by using the <nohyphen>
tag or
createNoHyphenationSpan
.
For example, the following string resource doesn't include a line break, and renders with the text "Pixel 8 Pro." breaking in an undesirable place:
<resources>
<string name="pixel8pro">The power and brains behind Pixel 8 Pro.</string>
</resources>
In contrast, this string resource includes the <nobreak>
tag, which wraps the
phrase "Pixel 8 Pro." and prevents line breaks:
<resources>
<string name="pixel8pro">The power and brains behind <nobreak>Pixel 8 Pro.</nobreak></string>
</resources>
The difference in how these strings are rendered is shown in the following images:

<nobreak>
tag.
<nobreak>
tag.Archivado de apps
Android and Google Play announced support for app archiving last year, allowing users to free up space by partially removing infrequently used apps from the device that were published using Android App Bundle on Google Play. Android 15 includes OS level support for app archiving and unarchiving, making it easier for all app stores to implement it.
Apps with the REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES
permission can call the
PackageInstaller
requestArchive
method to request archiving an
installed app package, which removes the APK and any cached files, but persists
user data. Archived apps are returned as displayable apps through the
LauncherApps
APIs; users will see a UI treatment to highlight that those
apps are archived. If a user taps on an archived app, the responsible installer
will get a request to unarchive it, and the restoration process can be
monitored by the ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED
broadcast.

Gráficos
Android 15 incluye las mejoras de gráficos más recientes, como ANGLE y las incorporaciones al sistema de gráficos de Canvas.
Modernización del acceso a la GPU de Android
Android hardware has evolved quite a bit from the early days where the core OS would run on a single CPU and GPUs were accessed using APIs based on fixed-function pipelines. The Vulkan® graphics API has been available in the NDK since Android 7.0 (API level 24) with a lower-level abstraction that better reflects modern GPU hardware, scales better to support multiple CPU cores, and offers reduced CPU driver overhead — leading to improved app performance. Vulkan is supported by all modern game engines.
Vulkan is Android's preferred interface to the GPU. Therefore, Android 15 includes ANGLE as an optional layer for running OpenGL® ES on top of Vulkan. Moving to ANGLE will standardize the Android OpenGL implementation for improved compatibility, and, in some cases, improved performance. You can test out your OpenGL ES app stability and performance with ANGLE by enabling the developer option in Settings -> System -> Developer Options -> Experimental: Enable ANGLE on Android 15.
The Android ANGLE on Vulkan roadmap

As part of streamlining our GPU stack, going forward we will be shipping ANGLE as the GL system driver on more new devices, with the future expectation that OpenGL/ES will be only available through ANGLE. That being said, we plan to continue support for OpenGL ES on all devices.
Recommended next steps
Use the developer options to select the ANGLE driver for OpenGL ES and test your app. For new projects, we strongly encourage using Vulkan for C/C++.
Mejoras para Canvas
Android 15 continues our modernization of Android's Canvas graphics system with additional capabilities:
Matrix44
provides a 4x4 matrix for transforming coordinates that should be used when you want to manipulate the canvas in 3D.clipShader
intersects the current clip with the specified shader, whileclipOutShader
sets the clip to the difference of the current clip and the shader, each treating the shader as an alpha mask. This supports the drawing of complex shapes efficiently.
Rendimiento y batería
Android se enfoca en ayudarte a mejorar el rendimiento y la calidad de tus apps. Android 15 presenta APIs que ayudan a que las tareas de tu app sean más eficientes para ejecutarse, optimizar el rendimiento de la app y recopilar estadísticas sobre estas.
Para conocer las prácticas recomendadas que permiten ahorrar batería, depurar el uso de la red y la energía, y obtener detalles sobre cómo mejoramos la eficiencia de la batería del trabajo en segundo plano en Android 15 y versiones recientes de Android, consulta la charla Improving battery efficiency of background work on Android de Google I/O.
API de ApplicationStartInfo
In previous versions of Android, app startup has been a bit of a mystery. It was
challenging to determine within your app whether it started from a cold, warm,
or hot state. It was also difficult to know how long your app spent during the
various launch phases: forking the process, calling onCreate
, drawing the
first frame, and more. When your Application
class was instantiated, you had no
way of knowing whether the app started from a broadcast, a content provider, a
job, a backup, boot complete, an alarm, or an Activity
.
The ApplicationStartInfo
API on Android 15 provides
all of this and more. You can even choose to add your own timestamps into the
flow to help collect timing data in one place. In addition to collecting
metrics, you can use ApplicationStartInfo
to help directly optimize app
startup; for example, you can eliminate the costly instantiation of UI-related
libraries within your Application
class when your app is starting up due to a
broadcast.
Información detallada del tamaño de la app
Desde Android 8.0 (nivel de API 26), Android incluye la API de StorageStats.getAppBytes
que resume el tamaño instalado de una app como un solo número de bytes, que es la suma del tamaño del APK, el tamaño de los archivos extraídos del APK y los archivos que se generaron en el dispositivo, como el código compilado por adelantado (AOT). Este número no es muy útil en términos de cómo tu app usa el almacenamiento.
Android 15 agrega la API de StorageStats.getAppBytesByDataType([type])
, que te permite obtener estadísticas sobre cómo tu app usa todo ese espacio, incluidas las divisiones de archivos APK, el código relacionado con AOT y la aceleración, los metadatos de DEX, las bibliotecas y los perfiles guiados.
Creación de perfiles administrada por la app
Android 15 includes the ProfilingManager
class,
which lets you collect profiling information from within your app such as heap
dumps, heap profiles, stack sampling, and more. It provides a callback to your
app with a supplied tag to identify the output file, which is delivered to your
app's files directory. The API does rate limiting to minimize the performance
impact.
To simplify constructing profiling requests in your app, we recommend using the
corresponding Profiling
AndroidX API, available
in Core 1.15.0-rc01 or higher.
Mejoras en la base de datos SQLite
Android 15 introduces SQLite APIs that expose advanced features from the underlying SQLite engine that target specific performance issues that can manifest in apps. These APIs are included with the update of SQLite to version 3.44.3.
Developers should consult best practices for SQLite performance to get the most out of their SQLite database, especially when working with large databases or when running latency-sensitive queries.
- Read-only deferred transactions: when issuing transactions that are
read-only (don't include write statements), use
beginTransactionReadOnly()
andbeginTransactionWithListenerReadOnly(SQLiteTransactionListener)
to issue read-onlyDEFERRED
transactions. Such transactions can run concurrently with each other, and if the database is in WAL mode, they can run concurrently withIMMEDIATE
orEXCLUSIVE
transactions. - Row counts and IDs: APIs were added to retrieve the count of changed
rows or the last inserted row ID without issuing an additional query.
getLastChangedRowCount()
returns the number of rows that were inserted, updated, or deleted by the most recent SQL statement within the current transaction, whilegetTotalChangedRowCount()
returns the count on the current connection.getLastInsertRowId()
returns therowid
of the last row to be inserted on the current connection. - Raw statements: issue a raw SQlite statement, bypassing convenience wrappers and any additional processing overhead that they may incur.
Actualizaciones del framework de rendimiento dinámico de Android
Android 15 continues our investment in the Android Dynamic Performance Framework (ADPF), a set of APIs that allow games and performance intensive apps to interact more directly with power and thermal systems of Android devices. On supported devices, Android 15 adds ADPF capabilities:
- A power-efficiency mode for hint sessions to indicate that their associated threads should prefer power saving over performance, great for long-running background workloads.
- GPU and CPU work durations can both be reported in hint sessions, allowing the system to adjust CPU and GPU frequencies together to best meet workload demands.
- Thermal headroom thresholds to interpret possible thermal throttling status based on headroom prediction.
To learn more about how to use ADPF in your apps and games, head over to the documentation.
Privacidad
Android 15 incluye una variedad de funciones que ayudan a los desarrolladores de apps a proteger la privacidad del usuario.
Detección de grabación de pantalla
Android 15 adds support for apps to detect that they are being recorded. A callback is invoked whenever the app transitions between being visible or invisible within a screen recording. An app is considered visible if activities owned by the registering process's UID are being recorded. This way, if your app is performing a sensitive operation, you can inform the user that they're being recorded.
val mCallback = Consumer<Int> { state ->
if (state == SCREEN_RECORDING_STATE_VISIBLE) {
// We're being recorded
} else {
// We're not being recorded
}
}
override fun onStart() {
super.onStart()
val initialState =
windowManager.addScreenRecordingCallback(mainExecutor, mCallback)
mCallback.accept(initialState)
}
override fun onStop() {
super.onStop()
windowManager.removeScreenRecordingCallback(mCallback)
}
Se expandieron las capacidades de IntentFilter
Android 15 builds in support for more precise Intent
resolution through
UriRelativeFilterGroup
, which contains a set of
UriRelativeFilter
objects that form a set of Intent
matching rules that must each be satisfied, including URL query parameters, URL
fragments, and blocking or exclusion rules.
These rules can be defined in the AndroidManifest
XML file with the
<uri-relative-filter-group>
tag, which can optionally include an
android:allow
tag. These tags can contain <data>
tags that use existing data
tag attributes as well as the android:query
and android:fragment
attributes.
Here's an example of the AndroidManifest
syntax:
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="http" />
<data android:scheme="https" />
<data android:host="astore.com" />
<uri-relative-filter-group>
<data android:pathPrefix="/auth" />
<data android:query="region=na" />
</uri-relative-filter-group>
<uri-relative-filter-group android:allow="false">
<data android:pathPrefix="/auth" />
<data android:query="mobileoptout=true" />
</uri-relative-filter-group>
<uri-relative-filter-group android:allow="false">
<data android:pathPrefix="/auth" />
<data android:fragmentPrefix="faq" />
</uri-relative-filter-group>
</intent-filter>
Espacio privado
Private space lets users create a separate space on their device where they can keep sensitive apps away from prying eyes, under an additional layer of authentication. The private space uses a separate user profile. The user can choose to use the device lock or a separate lock factor for the private space.
Apps in the private space show up in a separate container in the launcher, and are hidden from the recents view, notifications, settings, and from other apps when the private space is locked. User-generated and downloaded content (such as media or files) and accounts are separated between the private space and the main space. The system sharesheet and the photo picker can be used to give apps access to content across spaces when the private space is unlocked.
Users can't move existing apps and their data into the private space. Instead, users select an install option in the private space to install an app using whichever app store they prefer. Apps in the private space are installed as separate copies from any apps in the main space (new copies of the same app).
When a user locks the private space, the profile is stopped. While the profile is stopped, apps in the private space are no longer active and can't perform foreground or background activities, including showing notifications.
We recommend that you test your app with private space to make sure your app works as expected, especially if your app falls into one of the following categories:
- Apps with logic for work profiles that assumes that any installed copies of their app that aren't in the main profile are in the work profile.
- Medical apps
- Launcher apps
- App store apps
Cómo consultar la selección más reciente del usuario para el acceso a Fotos seleccionadas
Apps can now highlight only the most-recently-selected photos and videos when
partial access to media permissions is granted. This feature can improve
the user experience for apps that frequently request access to photos and
videos. To use this feature in your app, enable the
QUERY_ARG_LATEST_SELECTION_ONLY
argument when querying MediaStore
through ContentResolver
.
Kotlin
val externalContentUri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external") val mediaColumns = arrayOf( FileColumns._ID, FileColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, FileColumns.MIME_TYPE, ) val queryArgs = bundleOf( // Return only items from the last selection (selected photos access) QUERY_ARG_LATEST_SELECTION_ONLY to true, // Sort returned items chronologically based on when they were added to the device's storage QUERY_ARG_SQL_SORT_ORDER to "${FileColumns.DATE_ADDED} DESC", QUERY_ARG_SQL_SELECTION to "${FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE} = ? OR ${FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE} = ?", QUERY_ARG_SQL_SELECTION_ARGS to arrayOf( FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE.toString(), FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO.toString() ) )
Java
Uri externalContentUri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external"); String[] mediaColumns = { FileColumns._ID, FileColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, FileColumns.MIME_TYPE }; Bundle queryArgs = new Bundle(); queryArgs.putBoolean(MediaStore.QUERY_ARG_LATEST_SELECTION_ONLY, true); queryArgs.putString(MediaStore.QUERY_ARG_SQL_SORT_ORDER, FileColumns.DATE_ADDED + " DESC"); queryArgs.putString(MediaStore.QUERY_ARG_SQL_SELECTION, FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE + " = ? OR " + FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE + " = ?"); queryArgs.putStringArray(MediaStore.QUERY_ARG_SQL_SELECTION_ARGS, new String[] { String.valueOf(FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE), String.valueOf(FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO) });
Privacy Sandbox en Android
Android 15 includes the latest Android Ad Services extensions, incorporating the latest version of the Privacy Sandbox on Android. This addition is part of our work to develop technologies that improve user privacy and enable effective, personalized advertising experiences for mobile apps. Our privacy sandbox page has more information about the Privacy Sandbox on Android developer preview and beta programs to help you get started.
Health Connect
Android 15 integrates the latest extensions around Health Connect by Android, a secure and centralized platform to manage and share app-collected health and fitness data. This update adds support for additional data types across fitness, nutrition, skin temperature, training plans, and more.
Skin temperature tracking allows users to store and share more accurate temperature data from a wearable or other tracking device.
Training plans are structured workout plans to help a user achieve their fitness goals. Training plans support includes a variety of completion and performance goals:
- Completion goals around calories burned, distance, duration, repetition, and steps.
- Performance goals around as many repetitions as possible (AMRAP), cadence, heart rate, power, perceived rate of exertion, and speed.
Learn more about the latest updates to Health Connect in Android in the Building adaptable experiences with Android Health talk from Google I/O.
Compartir pantalla de una app
Android 15 supports app screen sharing so users can share or record just an
app window rather than the entire device screen. This feature, first enabled in
Android 14 QPR2, includes
MediaProjection
callbacks that allow your app
to customize the app screen sharing experience. Note that for apps targeting
Android 14 (API level 34) or higher,
user consent is required for each
MediaProjection
capture session.
Experiencia del usuario y IU del sistema
Android 15 les brinda a los desarrolladores y usuarios de apps más control y flexibilidad para configurar sus dispositivos según sus necesidades.

Vistas previas de widgets más enriquecidas con la API de Generated Previews
Before Android 15, the only way to provide widget picker previews was to specify a static image or layout resource. These previews often differ significantly from the look of the actual widget when it is placed on the home screen. Also, static resources can't be created with Jetpack Glance, so a Glance developer had to screenshot their widget or create an XML layout to have a widget preview.
Android 15 adds support for generated previews. This means that app widget
providers can generate RemoteViews
to use as the picker preview, instead
of a static resource.

Push API
Apps can provide generated previews through a push API. Apps can provide
previews at any point in their lifecycle, and don't receive an explicit request
from the host to provide previews. Previews are persisted in AppWidgetService
,
and hosts can request them on-demand. The following example loads an XML widget
layout resource and sets it as the preview:
AppWidgetManager.getInstance(appContext).setWidgetPreview(
ComponentName(
appContext,
SociaLiteAppWidgetReceiver::class.java
),
AppWidgetProviderInfo.WIDGET_CATEGORY_HOME_SCREEN,
RemoteViews("com.example", R.layout.widget_preview)
)
The expected flow is:
- At any time, the widget provider calls
setWidgetPreview
. The provided previews are persisted inAppWidgetService
with other provider info. setWidgetPreview
notifies hosts of an updated preview through theAppWidgetHost.onProvidersChanged
callback. In response, the widget host reloads all of its provider information.- When displaying a widget preview, the host checks
AppWidgetProviderInfo.generatedPreviewCategories
, and if the chosen category is available, callsAppWidgetManager.getWidgetPreview
to return the saved preview for this provider.
When to call setWidgetPreview
Because there is no callback to provide previews, apps can choose to send previews at any point when they are running. How often to update the preview depends on the widget's use case.
The following list describes the two main categories of preview use cases:
- Providers that show real data in their widget previews, such as personalized or recent information. These providers can set the preview once the user has signed in or has done initial configuration in their app. After this, they can set up a periodic task to update the previews at their chosen cadence. Examples of this type of widget could be a photo, calendar, weather or news widget.
- Providers that show static information in previews or quick-action widgets that don't display any data. These providers can set previews once, when the app first launches. Examples of this type of widget include a drive quick actions widget or chrome shortcuts widget.
Some providers might show static previews on the hub mode picker, but real information on the homescreen picker. These providers should follow the guidance for both of these use cases to set previews.

Android 15 introduces changes in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) ensuring an even smoother transition when entering into PiP mode. This will be beneficial for apps having UI elements overlaid on top of their main UI, which goes into PiP.
Developers use the onPictureInPictureModeChanged
callback to define logic
that toggles the visibility of the overlaid UI elements. This callback is
triggered when the PiP enter or exit animation is completed. Beginning in
Android 15, the PictureInPictureUiState
class includes another state.
With this UI state, apps targeting Android 15 (API level 35) will observe the
Activity#onPictureInPictureUiStateChanged
callback being invoked with
isTransitioningToPip()
as soon as the PiP animation starts. There are
many UI elements that are not relevant for the app when it is in PiP mode, for
example views or layout that include information such as suggestions, upcoming
video, ratings, and titles. When the app goes to PiP mode, use the
onPictureInPictureUiStateChanged
callback to hide these UI elements. When the
app goes to full screen mode from the PiP window, use
onPictureInPictureModeChanged
callback to unhide these elements, as shown in
the following examples:
override fun onPictureInPictureUiStateChanged(pipState: PictureInPictureUiState) {
if (pipState.isTransitioningToPip()) {
// Hide UI elements
}
}
override fun onPictureInPictureModeChanged(isInPictureInPictureMode: Boolean) {
if (isInPictureInPictureMode) {
// Unhide UI elements
}
}
This quick visibility toggle of irrelevant UI elements (for a PiP window) helps ensure a smoother and flicker-free PiP enter animation.
Reglas mejoradas de No interrumpir
AutomaticZenRule
permite que las apps personalicen las reglas de la Administración de atención (No interrumpir) y decidan cuándo activarlas o desactivarlas. Android 15 mejora considerablemente estas reglas con el objetivo de mejorar la
la experiencia del usuario. Se incluyen las siguientes mejoras:
- Se agregan tipos a
AutomaticZenRule
, lo que permite que el sistema aplique tipos tratamiento a algunas reglas. - Se agregó un ícono a
AutomaticZenRule
para que los modos sean más atractivos reconocibles. - Agrega una cadena
triggerDescription
aAutomaticZenRule
que describa las condiciones en las que la regla debe activarse para el usuario. - Agregado
ZenDeviceEffects
aAutomaticZenRule
, lo que permite que las reglas activen, por ejemplo, la escala de grises la pantalla, el modo nocturno o la atenuación del fondo de pantalla.
Cómo establecer VibrationEffect para los canales de notificaciones
Android 15 supports setting rich vibrations for incoming notifications by
channel using NotificationChannel.setVibrationEffect
, so
your users can distinguish between different types of notifications without
having to look at their device.
Chip de la barra de estado de la proyección de contenido multimedia y detención automática
Media projection can expose private user information. A new, prominent status bar chip makes users aware of any ongoing screen projection. Users can tap the chip to stop screen casting, sharing, or recording. Also, for a more intuitive user experience, any in‑progress screen projection now automatically stops when the device screen is locked.

Pantallas grandes y factores de forma
Android 15 les brinda a tus apps la compatibilidad para aprovechar al máximo los factores de forma de Android, incluidas las pantallas grandes, los dispositivos plegables y los plegables.
Mejoras en la realización de varias tareas en pantallas grandes
Android 15 gives users better ways to multitask on large screen devices. For example, users can save their favorite split-screen app combinations for quick access and pin the taskbar on screen to quickly switch between apps. This means that making sure your app is adaptive is more important than ever.
Google I/O has sessions on Building adaptive Android apps and Building UI with the Material 3 adaptive library that can help, and our documentation has more to help you Design for large screens.
Compatibilidad con la pantalla de la cubierta
Your app can declare a property that Android 15 uses to
allow your Application
or Activity
to be presented on the small cover
screens of supported flippable devices. These screens are too small to be
considered as compatible targets for Android apps to run on, but your app can
opt in to supporting them, making your app available in more places.
Conectividad
Android 15 actualiza la plataforma para darle a tu app acceso a los avances más recientes en las tecnologías inalámbricas y de comunicación.
Asistencia satelital
Android 15 continúa ampliando la compatibilidad de la plataforma con la conectividad satelital y, además, incluye algunos elementos de la IU para garantizar una experiencia del usuario coherente en todo el panorama de conectividad satelital.
Las apps pueden usar ServiceState.isUsingNonTerrestrialNetwork()
para detectar cuándo un dispositivo está conectado a un satélite, lo que les permite saber por qué es posible que los servicios de red completos no estén disponibles. Además, Android 15 admite apps de SMS y MMS, así como apps de RCS precargadas para usar conectividad satelital para enviar y recibir mensajes.

Experiencias de NFC más fluidas
Android 15 está trabajando para que la experiencia de pago con un toque sea más fluida y confiable, a la vez que sigue admitiendo el sólido ecosistema de apps de NFC de Android. En los dispositivos compatibles, las apps pueden solicitar que NfcAdapter
ingrese al modo de observación, en el que el dispositivo escucha, pero no responde a los lectores NFC, y envía los objetos PollingFrame
del servicio de NFC de la app para que se procesen. Los objetos PollingFrame
se pueden usar para autenticar antes de la primera comunicación con el lector de NFC, lo que permite una transacción con un solo toque en muchos casos.
Además, las apps pueden registrar un filtro en dispositivos compatibles para que se les notifique la actividad del bucle de sondeo, lo que permite un funcionamiento fluido con varias aplicaciones compatibles con NFC.
Rol de la billetera
Android 15 introduces a Wallet role that allows tighter integration with the user's preferred wallet app. This role replaces the NFC default contactless payment setting. Users can manage the Wallet role holder by navigating to Settings > Apps > Default Apps.
The Wallet role is used when routing NFC taps for AIDs registered in the payment category. Taps always go to the Wallet role holder unless another app that is registered for the same AID is running in the foreground.
This role is also used to determine where the Wallet Quick Access tile should go when activated. When the role is set to "None", the Quick Access tile isn't available and payment category NFC taps are only delivered to the foreground app.
Seguridad
Android 15 te ayuda a mejorar la seguridad de tu app, proteger sus datos y brindarles a los usuarios más transparencia y control sobre sus datos. Mira la charla Protección de la seguridad del usuario en Android de Google I/O para obtener más información sobre lo que estamos haciendo para mejorar las protecciones del usuario y proteger tu app contra nuevas amenazas.
Cómo integrar Credential Manager con el autocompletado
A partir de Android 15, los desarrolladores pueden vincular vistas específicas, como campos de nombre de usuario o contraseña, con solicitudes de Credential Manager, lo que facilita la prestación de una experiencia del usuario personalizada durante el proceso de acceso. Cuando el usuario se enfoca en una de estas vistas, se envía una solicitud correspondiente al Administrador de credenciales. Las credenciales resultantes se agregan en todos los proveedores y se muestran en las IU de resguardo de autocompletado, como las sugerencias intercaladas o desplegables. La biblioteca androidx.credentials de Jetpack es el extremo preferido que deben usar los desarrolladores y pronto estará disponible para mejorar aún más esta función en Android 15 y versiones posteriores.
Cómo integrar el registro y el acceso con un solo toque con solicitudes biométricas
Credential Manager integrates biometric prompts into the credential creation and sign-in processes, eliminating the need for providers to manage biometric prompts. As a result, credential providers only need to focus on the results of the create and get flows, augmented with the biometric flow result. This simplified process creates a more efficient and streamlined credential creation and retrieval process.
Administración de claves para la encriptación de extremo a extremo
Presentamos E2eeContactKeysManager
en Android 15, que facilita la encriptación de extremo a extremo (E2EE) en tus apps para Android, ya que proporciona una API a nivel del SO para el almacenamiento de claves públicas criptográficas.
E2eeContactKeysManager
está diseñado para integrarse a la app de contactos de la plataforma y brindarles a los usuarios una forma centralizada de administrar y verificar las claves públicas de sus contactos.
Verificaciones de permisos en URIs de contenido
Android 15 introduces a set of APIs that perform permission checks on content URIs:
Context.checkContentUriPermissionFull
: This performs a full permission check on content URIs.Activity
manifest attributerequireContentUriPermissionFromCaller
: This enforces specified permissions on the provided content URIs at activity launch.ComponentCaller
class forActivity
callers: This represents the app that launched the activity.
Accesibilidad
Android 15 agrega funciones que mejoran la accesibilidad para los usuarios.
Braille mejorado
In Android 15, we've made it possible for TalkBack to support Braille displays that are using the HID standard over both USB and secure Bluetooth.
This standard, much like the one used by mice and keyboards, will help Android support a wider range of Braille displays over time.
Internacionalización
Android 15 agrega funciones y capacidades que complementan la experiencia del usuario cuando se usa un dispositivo en diferentes idiomas.
Fuente variable CJK
Starting with Android 15, the font file for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages, NotoSansCJK, is now a variable font. Variable fonts open up possibilities for creative typography in CJK languages. Designers can explore a broader range of styles and create visually striking layouts that were previously difficult or impossible to achieve.

Justificación entre caracteres
Starting with Android 15, text can be justified utilizing letter spacing by
using JUSTIFICATION_MODE_INTER_CHARACTER
. Inter-word justification was
first introduced in Android 8.0 (API level 26), and inter-character
justification provides similar capabilities for languages that use the
whitespace character for segmentation, such as Chinese, Japanese, and others.

.Configuración de saltos de línea automáticos
Android started supporting phrase-based line breaks for Japanese and Korean in
Android 13 (API level 33). However, while phrase-based line breaks improve the
readability of short lines of text, they don't work well for long lines of text.
In Android 15, apps can apply phrase-based line breaks only for short lines
of text, using the LINE_BREAK_WORD_STYLE_AUTO
option. This option selects the best word style option for the text.
For short lines of text, phrase-based line breaks are used, functioning the same
as LINE_BREAK_WORD_STYLE_PHRASE
, as shown in the
following image:

LINE_BREAK_WORD_STYLE_AUTO
applies phrase-based line breaks to improve the readability of the text.
This is the same as applying
LINE_BREAK_WORD_STYLE_PHRASE
.For longer lines of text, LINE_BREAK_WORD_STYLE_AUTO
uses a no
line-break word style, functioning the same as
LINE_BREAK_WORD_STYLE_NONE
, as shown in the
following image:

LINE_BREAK_WORD_STYLE_AUTO
applies no line-break word style to improve the readability of the text.
This is the same as applying
LINE_BREAK_WORD_STYLE_NONE
.Fuente japonesa Hentaigana adicional
En Android 15, se incluyó un archivo de fuente para el antiguo hiragana japonés (conocido como Hentaigana). se agrupa de forma predeterminada. Las formas únicas de los caracteres hentaigana pueden agregar un estilo distintivo al material gráfico o al diseño, a la vez que ayudan a preservar la transmisión y la comprensión precisas de los documentos japoneses antiguos.
