Funcionalidad principal
Android incluye nuevas APIs que expanden las capacidades principales del sistema Android.
Dos versiones de la API de Android en 2025
- Esta versión preliminar es para la próxima versión importante de Android, con un lanzamiento planificado para el segundo trimestre de 2025. Esta versión es similar a todas las versiones de API anteriores, en las que podemos tener cambios de comportamiento planificados que, a menudo, están vinculados a una targetSdkVersion.
- Planeamos el lanzamiento principal un trimestre antes (segundo trimestre en lugar del tercer trimestre de años anteriores) para alinearnos mejor con el programa de lanzamientos de dispositivos en nuestro ecosistema, de modo que más dispositivos puedan obtener la versión principal de Android antes. Con el lanzamiento principal que se lanzará en el segundo trimestre, deberás realizar las pruebas de compatibilidad anuales unos meses antes que en años anteriores para asegurarte de que tus apps estén listas.
- Planeamos tener otro lanzamiento en el cuarto trimestre de 2025, que también incluirá nuevas APIs para desarrolladores. La versión principal del segundo trimestre será la única de 2025 que incluirá cambios de comportamiento planificados que podrían afectar a las apps.
Además de las nuevas APIs para desarrolladores, la versión secundaria del cuarto trimestre incluirá actualizaciones de funciones, optimizaciones y correcciones de errores, pero no cambios de comportamiento que afecten a las apps.
Seguiremos lanzando versiones trimestrales de Android. Las actualizaciones del 1ᵉʳ y 3ᵉʳ trim. entre los lanzamientos de la API proporcionarán actualizaciones incrementales para ayudar a garantizar una calidad continua. Estamos trabajando de forma activa con nuestros socios de dispositivos para llevar la versión del segundo trimestre a la mayor cantidad de dispositivos posible.
Cómo usar APIs nuevas con versiones principales y secundarias
Hoy en día, la protección de un bloque de código con una verificación del nivel de API se realiza con la constante SDK_INT con VERSION_CODES. Esto seguirá siendo compatible con las versiones principales de Android.
if (SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.BAKLAVA) {
// Use APIs introduced in Android 16
}
La nueva constante SDK_INT_FULL se puede usar para las verificaciones de API en versiones principales y secundarias con la nueva enumeración VERSION_CODES_FULL.
if (SDK_INT_FULL >= VERSION_CODES_FULL.[MAJOR or MINOR RELEASE]) {
// Use APIs introduced in a major or minor release
}
También puedes usar el método Build.getMinorSdkVersion() para obtener solo la versión secundaria del SDK.
val minorSdkVersion = Build.getMinorSdkVersion(VERSION_CODES_FULL.BAKLAVA)
Estas APIs aún no están finalizadas y están sujetas a cambios, por lo que, si tienes alguna inquietud, envíanos comentarios.
Experiencia del usuario y la IU del sistema
Android 16 brinda a los desarrolladores de apps y a los usuarios más control y flexibilidad para configurar sus dispositivos según sus necesidades.
Notificaciones centradas en el progreso
Android 16 introduces progress-centric notifications to help users seamlessly track user-initiated, start-to-end journeys.
Notification.ProgressStyle is a new notification
style that lets you create progress-centric notifications. Key use cases include
rideshare, delivery, and navigation. Within the Notification.ProgressStyle
class, you can denote states and milestones in a user journey using
points and segments.
To learn more, see the Progress-centric notifications documentation page.
Actualizaciones de atrás predictivo
Android 16 adds new APIs to help you enable predictive back system animations in
gesture navigation such as the back-to-home animation. Registering the
onBackInvokedCallback with the new
PRIORITY_SYSTEM_NAVIGATION_OBSERVER allows your app to
receive the regular onBackInvoked call whenever the
system handles a back navigation without impacting the normal back navigation
flow.
Android 16 additionally adds the
finishAndRemoveTaskCallback() and
moveTaskToBackCallback. By registering these callbacks
with the OnBackInvokedDispatcher, the system can trigger
specific behaviors and play corresponding ahead-of-time animations when the back
gesture is invoked.
Tecnología táctil más enriquecida
Android has exposed control over the haptic actuator ever since its inception.
Android 11 added support for more complex haptic effects that more advanced
actuators could support through
VibrationEffect.Compositions of device-defined semantic
primitives.
Android 16 adds haptic APIs that let apps define the amplitude and frequency curves of a haptic effect while abstracting away differences between device capabilities.
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 de ayudarte a concretar tu visión en la plataforma.
Control de contenido para fondos animados
En Android 16, el framework de fondos de pantalla animados obtiene una nueva API de contenido para abordar los desafíos de los fondos de pantalla dinámicos controlados por el usuario. Actualmente, los fondos de pantalla en vivo que incorporan contenido proporcionado por el usuario requieren implementaciones complejas y específicas del servicio. Android 16 presenta WallpaperDescription y WallpaperInstance. WallpaperDescription te permite identificar instancias distintas de un fondo animado del mismo servicio. Por ejemplo, un fondo de pantalla que tiene instancias en la pantalla principal y en la pantalla de bloqueo puede tener contenido único en ambos lugares. El selector de fondo de pantalla y WallpaperManager usan estos metadatos para presentar mejor los fondos de pantalla a los usuarios, lo que optimiza el proceso para que crees experiencias de fondo de pantalla en vivo diversas y personalizadas.
Rendimiento y batería
Android 16 introduce APIs que ayudan a recopilar estadísticas sobre tus apps.
Generación de perfiles activada por el sistema
ProfilingManager was
added in Android 15, giving apps the ability to
request profiling data collection using Perfetto on public devices in the field.
However, since this profiling must be started from the app, critical flows such
as startups or ANRs would be difficult or impossible for apps to capture.
To help with this, Android 16 introduces system-triggered profiling to
ProfilingManager. Apps can register interest in receiving traces for certain
triggers such as cold start reportFullyDrawn
or ANRs, and then the system starts and stops a trace on the app's behalf. After
the trace completes, the results are delivered to the app's data directory.
Componente de inicio en ApplicationStartInfo
ApplicationStartInfo was added in Android
15, allowing an app to see reasons
for process start, start type, start times, throttling, and other useful
diagnostic data. Android 16 adds
getStartComponent()
to distinguish what component type triggered the start, which can be helpful for
optimizing the startup flow of your app.
Mejor introspección del trabajo
The JobScheduler#getPendingJobReason() API returns a reason why a job
might be pending. However, a job might be pending for multiple reasons.
In Android 16, we are introducing a new API
JobScheduler#getPendingJobReasons(int jobId), which returns multiple
reasons why a job is pending, due to both explicit constraints set by the
developer and implicit constraints set by the system.
We're also introducing
JobScheduler#getPendingJobReasonsHistory(int jobId), which returns a list
of the most recent constraint changes.
We recommend using the API to help you debug why your jobs may not be executing, especially if you're seeing reduced success rates of certain tasks or have bugs around latency of certain job completion. For example, updating widgets in the background failed to occur or prefetch job failed to be called prior to app start.
This can also better help you understand if certain jobs are not completing due to system defined constraints versus explicitly set constraints.
Frecuencia de actualización adaptativa
Adaptive refresh rate (ARR), introduced in Android 15, enables the display refresh rate on supported hardware to adapt to the content frame rate using discrete VSync steps. This reduces power consumption while eliminating the need for potentially jank-inducing mode-switching.
Android 16 introduces hasArrSupport() and
getSuggestedFrameRate(int) while restoring
getSupportedRefreshRates() to make it easier for your apps to take
advantage of ARR. RecyclerView
1.4 internally supports ARR when it is settling from a fling or
smooth scroll, and we're continuing our work to add ARR
support into more Jetpack libraries. This frame rate article covers
many of the APIs you can use to set the frame rate so that your app can directly
use ARR.
APIs de Headroom en ADPF
The SystemHealthManager introduces the
getCpuHeadroom and
getGpuHeadroom APIs, designed to provide games and
resource-intensive apps with estimates of available CPU and GPU resources. These
methods offer a way for you to gauge how your app or game can best improve
system health, particularly when used in conjunction with other Android Dynamic
Performance Framework (ADPF) APIs that detect thermal
throttling.
By using CpuHeadroomParams and
GpuHeadroomParams on supported devices, you can
customize the time window used to compute the headroom and select between
average or minimum resource availability. This can help you reduce your CPU or
GPU resource usage accordingly, leading to better user experiences and improved
battery life.
Accesibilidad
Android 16 agrega nuevas APIs y funciones de accesibilidad que pueden ayudarte a llevar tu app a todos los usuarios.
Se mejoraron las APIs de accesibilidad
Android 16 adds additional APIs to enhance UI semantics that help improve consistency for users that rely on accessibility services, such as TalkBack.
Outline text for maximum text contrast
Users with low vision often have reduced contrast sensitivity, making it challenging to distinguish objects from their backgrounds. To help these users, Android 16 introduces outline text, replacing high contrast text, which draws a larger contrasting area around text to greatly improve legibility.
Android 16 contains new AccessibilityManager APIs to let
your apps check or register a listener to
see if this mode is enabled. This is primarily for UI Toolkits like Compose to
offer a similar visual experience. If you maintain a UI Toolkit library or your
app performs custom text rendering that bypasses the
android.text.Layout class then you can use this to know
when outline text is enabled.
Duration added to TtsSpan
Android 16 extends TtsSpan with a TYPE_DURATION,
consisting of ARG_HOURS, ARG_MINUTES,
and ARG_SECONDS. This lets you directly annotate time
duration, ensuring accurate and consistent text-to-speech output with services
like TalkBack.
Support elements with multiple labels
Android currently allows UI elements to derive their accessibility label from
another, and now offers the ability for multiple labels to be associated, a
common scenario in web content. By introducing a list-based API within
AccessibilityNodeInfo, Android can directly support these
multi-label relationships. As part of this change, we've deprecated
AccessibilityNodeInfo#setLabeledBy and
#getLabeledBy in favor of
#addLabeledBy, #removeLabeledBy, and
#getLabeledByList.
Improved support for expandable elements
Android 16 adds accessibility APIs that allow you to convey the expanded or
collapsed state of interactive elements, such as menus and expandable lists. By
setting the expanded state using setExpandedState and
dispatching TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED AccessibilityEvents
with a CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_EXPANDED content change type,
you can ensure that screen readers like TalkBack announce
state changes, providing a more intuitive and inclusive user experience.
Indeterminate ProgressBars
Android 16 adds RANGE_TYPE_INDETERMINATE, giving a way for
you to expose RangeInfo for both determinate and
indeterminate ProgressBar widgets, allowing services like
TalkBack to more consistently provide feedback for progress
indicators.
Tri-state CheckBox
The new AccessibilityNodeInfo
getChecked and setChecked(int)
methods in Android 16 now support a "partially checked" state in addition to
"checked" and "unchecked." This replaces the deprecated boolean
isChecked and setChecked(boolean).
Supplemental descriptions
When an accessibility service describes a ViewGroup, it
combines content labels from its child views. If you provide a
contentDescription for the ViewGroup, accessibility services assume you are
also overriding the description of non-focusable child views. This can be
problematic if you want to label things like a drop-down (for example, "Font
Family") while preserving the current selection for accessibility (for example,
"Roboto"). Android 16 adds setSupplementalDescription so
you can provide text that provides information about a ViewGroup without
overriding information from its children.
Required form fields
Android 16 adds setFieldRequired to
AccessibilityNodeInfo so apps can tell an accessibility
service that input to a form field is required. This is an important scenario
for users filling out many types of forms, even things as simple as a required
terms and conditions checkbox, helping users to consistently identify and
quickly navigate between required fields.
El teléfono como entrada de micrófono para llamadas de voz con audífonos LEA
Android 16 agrega la capacidad para que los usuarios de audífonos LE Audio cambien entre los micrófonos integrados en los audífonos y el micrófono del teléfono para las llamadas de voz. Esto puede ser útil en entornos ruidosos o en otras situaciones en las que los micrófonos del audífono no funcionen bien.
Controles de volumen ambiental para audífonos LEA
Android 16 agrega la capacidad para que los usuarios de audífonos LE Audio ajusten el volumen del sonido ambiental que captan los micrófonos de los audífonos. Esto puede ser útil en situaciones en las que el ruido de fondo es demasiado alto o demasiado bajo.
Cámara
Android 16 mejora la compatibilidad para los usuarios de cámaras profesionales, lo que permite la exposición automática híbrida junto con ajustes precisos de la temperatura y el tono del color. Un nuevo indicador de modo nocturno ayuda a tu app a saber cuándo cambiar a una sesión de cámara en modo nocturno y cuándo salir de ella. Las nuevas acciones de Intent facilitan la captura de fotos en movimiento, y seguimos mejorando las imágenes UltraHDR con compatibilidad para la codificación HEIC y nuevos parámetros del borrador del estándar ISO 21496-1.
Exposición automática híbrida
Android 16 adds new hybrid auto-exposure modes to Camera2, allowing you to manually control specific aspects of exposure while letting the auto-exposure (AE) algorithm handle the rest. You can control ISO + AE, and exposure time + AE, providing greater flexibility compared to the current approach where you either have full manual control or rely entirely on auto-exposure.
fun setISOPriority() {
// ... (Your existing code before the snippet) ...
val availablePriorityModes = mStaticInfo.characteristics.get(
CameraCharacteristics.CONTROL_AE_AVAILABLE_PRIORITY_MODES
)
// ... (Your existing code between the snippets) ...
// Turn on AE mode to set priority mode
reqBuilder.set(
CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE,
CameraMetadata.CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON
)
reqBuilder.set(
CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_PRIORITY_MODE,
CameraMetadata.CONTROL_AE_PRIORITY_MODE_SENSOR_SENSITIVITY_PRIORITY
)
reqBuilder.set(
CaptureRequest.SENSOR_SENSITIVITY,
TEST_SENSITIVITY_VALUE
)
val request: CaptureRequest = reqBuilder.build()
// ... (Your existing code after the snippet) ...
}
Ajustes precisos de temperatura y tono de color
Android 16 adds camera support for fine color temperature and tint adjustments
to better support professional video recording applications. In previous Android
versions, you could control white balance settings through
CONTROL_AWB_MODE, which contains options limited to a
preset list, such as Incandescent,
Cloudy, and Twilight. The
COLOR_CORRECTION_MODE_CCT enables the use of
COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TEMPERATURE and
COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TINT for precise adjustments of
white balance based on the correlated color temperature.
fun setCCT() {
// ... (Your existing code before this point) ...
val colorTemperatureRange: Range<Int> =
mStaticInfo.characteristics[CameraCharacteristics.COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TEMPERATURE_RANGE]
// Set to manual mode to enable CCT mode
reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AWB_MODE] = CameraMetadata.CONTROL_AWB_MODE_OFF
reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.COLOR_CORRECTION_MODE] = CameraMetadata.COLOR_CORRECTION_MODE_CCT
reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TEMPERATURE] = 5000
reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TINT] = 30
val request: CaptureRequest = reqBuilder.build()
// ... (Your existing code after this point) ...
}
The following examples show how a photo would look after applying different color temperature and tint adjustments:
Detección de escenas en el modo nocturno de la cámara
To help your app know when to switch to and from a night mode camera session,
Android 16 adds EXTENSION_NIGHT_MODE_INDICATOR. If
supported, it's available in the CaptureResult within
Camera2.
This is the API we briefly mentioned as coming soon in the How Instagram enabled users to take stunning low light photos blog post. That post is a practical guide on how to implement night mode together with a case study that links higher-quality in-app night mode photos with an increase in the number of photos shared from the in-app camera.
Acciones de intent de captura de fotos en movimiento
Android 16 adds standard Intent actions —
ACTION_MOTION_PHOTO_CAPTURE, and
ACTION_MOTION_PHOTO_CAPTURE_SECURE — which request that
the camera application capture a motion photo and return
it.
You must either pass an extra EXTRA_OUTPUT to control
where the image will be written, or a Uri through
Intent.setClipData(ClipData). If you don't set a
ClipData, it will be copied there for you when calling
Context.startActivity(Intent).
Mejoras de imagen Ultra HDR
Android 16 continues our work to deliver dazzling image quality with UltraHDR
images. It adds support for UltraHDR images in the HEIC file
format. These images will get ImageFormat type
HEIC_ULTRAHDR and will contain an embedded gainmap similar
to the existing UltraHDR JPEG format. We're working on AVIF support for UltraHDR
as well, so stay tuned.
In addition, Android 16 implements additional parameters in UltraHDR from the ISO 21496-1 draft standard, including the ability to get and set the colorspace that gainmap math should be applied in, as well as support for HDR encoded base images with SDR gainmaps.
Gráficos
Android 16 incluye las mejoras gráficas más recientes, como efectos gráficos personalizados con AGSL.
Efectos gráficos personalizados con AGSL
Android 16 agrega RuntimeColorFilter y RuntimeXfermode, lo que te permite crear efectos complejos, como Umbral, Sepia y Saturación de tono, y aplicarlos a las llamadas de dibujo. Desde Android 13, puedes usar AGSL para crear RuntimeShaders personalizados que extiendan Shader. La nueva API refleja esto, y agrega un RuntimeColorFilter potenciado por AGSL que extiende ColorFilter y un efecto Xfermode que te permite implementar la composición y la combinación personalizadas basadas en AGSL entre píxeles de origen y de destino.
private val thresholdEffectString = """
uniform half threshold;
half4 main(half4 c) {
half luminosity = dot(c.rgb, half3(0.2126, 0.7152, 0.0722));
half bw = step(threshold, luminosity);
return bw.xxx1 * c.a;
}"""
fun setCustomColorFilter(paint: Paint) {
val filter = RuntimeColorFilter(thresholdEffectString)
filter.setFloatUniform(0.5);
paint.colorFilter = filter
}
Conectividad
Android 16 actualiza la plataforma para que tu app tenga acceso a los avances más recientes en tecnologías inalámbricas y de comunicación.
Medición de distancia con seguridad mejorada
Android 16 adds support for robust security features in Wi-Fi location on supported devices with Wi-Fi 6's 802.11az, allowing apps to combine the higher accuracy, greater scalability, and dynamic scheduling of the protocol with security enhancements including AES-256-based encryption and protection against MITM attacks. This allows it to be used more safely in proximity use cases, such as unlocking a laptop or a vehicle door. 802.11az is integrated with the Wi-Fi 6 standard, leveraging its infrastructure and capabilities for wider adoption and easier deployment.
APIs de rango genéricas
Android 16 includes the new RangingManager, which provides
ways to determine the distance and angle on supported hardware between the local
device and a remote device. RangingManager supports the usage of a variety of
ranging technologies such as BLE channel sounding, BLE RSSI-based ranging, Ultra
Wideband, and Wi-Fi round trip time.
Presencia del dispositivo del administrador de dispositivo complementario
In Android 16, new APIs are being introduced for binding your companion app
service. Service will be bound when BLE is in range and Bluetooth is connected
and service will be unbound when BLE is out of range or Bluetooth is
disconnected. App will receives a new
'onDevicePresenceEvent()' callback based on various
of DevicePresenceEvent.
More details can be found in
'startObservingDevicePresence(ObservingDevicePresenceRequest)'.
Contenido multimedia
Android 16 incluye una variedad de funciones que mejoran la experiencia multimedia.
Mejoras en el selector de fotos
The photo picker provides a safe, built-in way for users to grant your app access to selected images and videos from both local and cloud storage, instead of their entire media library. Using a combination of Modular System Components through Google System Updates and Google Play services, it's supported back to Android 4.4 (API level 19). Integration requires just a few lines of code with the associated Android Jetpack library.
Android 16 includes the following improvements to the photo picker:
- Embedded photo picker: New APIs that enable apps to embed the photo picker into their view hierarchy. This allows it to feel like a more integrated part of the app while still leveraging the process isolation that allows users to select media without the app needing overly broad permissions. To maximize compatibility across platform versions and simplify your integration, you'll want to use the forthcoming Android Jetpack library if you want to integrate the embedded photo picker.
- Cloud search in photo picker: New APIs that enable searching from the cloud media provider for the Android photo picker. Search functionality in the photo picker is coming soon.
Video profesional avanzado
Android 16 introduce la compatibilidad con el códec de video profesional avanzado (APV), que está diseñado para usarse en la grabación y postproducción de video de alta calidad a nivel profesional.
El estándar de códec APV tiene las siguientes características:
- Calidad de video sin pérdida perceptiva (cercana a la calidad de video sin procesar)
- Codificación solo dentro de la trama de baja complejidad y alta capacidad de procesamiento (sin predicción de dominio de píxeles) para admitir mejor los flujos de trabajo de edición
- Compatibilidad con un rango de tasa de bits alto de hasta unos pocos Gbps para contenido de resolución 2K, 4K y 8K, habilitado por un esquema de codificación de entropía ligero
- Recorte de fotogramas para contenido envolvente y para habilitar la codificación y decodificación en paralelo
- Compatibilidad con varios formatos de muestreo de crominancia y profundidades de bits
- Compatibilidad con varias decodificaciones y recodificaciones sin degradación severa de la calidad visual
- Compatibilidad con videos multivista y auxiliares, como profundidad, alfa y vista previa
- Compatibilidad con HDR10/10+ y metadatos definidos por el usuario
Se proporciona una implementación de referencia de APV a través del proyecto OpenAPV. Android 16 implementará la compatibilidad con el perfil APV 422-10 que proporciona muestreo de color YUV 422 junto con codificación de 10 bits y para tasas de bits objetivo de hasta 2 Gbps.
Privacidad
Android 16 incluye una variedad de funciones que ayudan a los desarrolladores de apps a proteger la privacidad del usuario.
Actualizaciones de Health Connect
Health Connect adds ACTIVITY_INTENSITY, a data type defined according to World
Health Organization guidelines around moderate and vigorous activity. Each
record requires the start time, the end time, and whether the activity intensity
is moderate or vigorous.
Health Connect also contains updated APIs supporting medical records. This allows apps to read and write medical records in FHIR format with explicit user consent.
Privacy Sandbox en Android
Android 16 incorporates the latest version of the Privacy Sandbox on Android, part of our ongoing work to develop technologies where users know their privacy is protected. Our website has more about the Privacy Sandbox on Android developer beta program to help you get started. Check out the SDK Runtime which allows SDKs to run in a dedicated runtime environment separate from the app they are serving, providing stronger safeguards around user data collection and sharing.
Seguridad
Android 16 incluye funciones que te ayudan a mejorar la seguridad de tu app y a proteger sus datos.
API de uso compartido de claves
Android 16 agrega APIs que admiten el uso compartido del acceso a las claves de Android Keystore con otras apps. La nueva clase KeyStoreManager admite otorgar y revocar el acceso a las claves por uid de la app, y también incluye una API para que las apps accedan a las claves compartidas.
Factores de forma del dispositivo
Android 16 brinda a tus apps la compatibilidad necesaria para aprovechar al máximo los factores de forma de Android.
Marco de trabajo estandarizado de calidad de imagen y audio para TVs
The new MediaQuality
package in Android 16 exposes
a set of standardized APIs for access to audio and picture profiles and
hardware-related settings. This allows streaming apps to query profiles and
apply them to media dynamically:
- Movies mastered with a wider dynamic range require greater color accuracy to see subtle details in shadows and adjust to ambient light, so a profile that prefers color accuracy over brightness may be appropriate.
- Live sporting events are often mastered with a narrow dynamic range, but are often watched in daylight, so a profile that preferences brightness over color accuracy can give better results.
- Fully interactive content wants minimal processing to reduce latency, and wants higher frame rates, which is why many TV's ship with a game profile.
The API allows apps to switch between profiles and users to enjoy tuning supported TVs to best suit their content.
Internacionalización
Android 16 agrega funciones y capacidades que complementan la experiencia del usuario cuando un dispositivo se usa en diferentes idiomas.
Texto vertical
Android 16 adds low-level support for rendering and measuring text vertically to
provide foundational vertical writing support for library developers. This is
particularly useful for languages like Japanese that commonly use vertical
writing systems. A new flag,
VERTICAL_TEXT_FLAG,
has been added to the Paint class. When
this flag is set using
Paint.setFlags, Paint's
text measurement APIs will report vertical advances instead of horizontal
advances, and Canvas will draw text
vertically.
val text = "「春は、曙。」"
Box(
Modifier.padding(innerPadding).background(Color.White).fillMaxSize().drawWithContent {
drawIntoCanvas { canvas ->
val paint = Paint().apply { textSize = 64.sp.toPx() }
// Draw text vertically
paint.flags = paint.flags or VERTICAL_TEXT_FLAG
val height = paint.measureText(text)
canvas.nativeCanvas.drawText(
text,
0,
text.length,
size.width / 2,
(size.height - height) / 2,
paint
)
}
}
) {}
Personalización del sistema de medición
Users can now customize their measurement system in regional preferences within
Settings. The user preference is included as part of the locale code, so you can
register a BroadcastReceiver on
ACTION_LOCALE_CHANGED to handle locale configuration changes when
regional preferences change.
Using formatters can help match the local experience. For example, "0.5 in" in English (United States), is "12,7 mm" for a user who has set their phone to English (Denmark) or who uses their phone in English (United States) with the metric system as the measurement system preference.
To find these settings, open the Settings app and navigate to System > Languages & region.
