핵심 기능
Android에는 Android 시스템의 핵심 기능을 확장하는 새로운 API가 포함되어 있습니다.
2025년의 두 가지 Android API 출시
- This preview is for the next major release of Android with a planned launch in Q2 of 2025. This release is similar to all of our API releases in the past, where we can have planned behavior changes that are often tied to a targetSdkVersion.
- We're planning the major release a quarter earlier (Q2 rather than Q3 in prior years) to better align with the schedule of device launches across our ecosystem, so more devices can get the major release of Android sooner. With the major release coming in Q2, you'll need to do your annual compatibility testing a few months earlier than in previous years to make sure your apps are ready.
- We plan to have another release in Q4 of 2025 which also will include new developer APIs. The Q2 major release will be the only release in 2025 to include planned behavior changes that could affect apps.
In addition to new developer APIs, the Q4 minor release will pick up feature updates, optimizations, and bug fixes; it will not include any app-impacting behavior changes.

We'll continue to have quarterly Android releases. The Q1 and Q3 updates in-between the API releases will provide incremental updates to help ensure continuous quality. We're actively working with our device partners to bring the Q2 release to as many devices as possible.
Using new APIs with major and minor releases
Guarding a code block with a check for API level is done today using
the SDK_INT
constant with
VERSION_CODES
. This will continue
to be supported for major Android releases.
if (SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.BAKLAVA) {
// Use APIs introduced in Android 16
}
The new SDK_INT_FULL
constant can be used for API checks against both major and minor versions with
the new VERSION_CODES_FULL
enumeration.
if (SDK_INT_FULL >= VERSION_CODES_FULL.[MAJOR or MINOR RELEASE]) {
// Use APIs introduced in a major or minor release
}
You can also use the
Build.getMinorSdkVersion()
method to get just the minor SDK version.
val minorSdkVersion = Build.getMinorSdkVersion(VERSION_CODES_FULL.BAKLAVA)
These APIs have not yet been finalized and are subject to change, so please send us feedback if you have any concerns.
사용자 환경 및 시스템 UI
Android 16을 사용하면 앱 개발자와 사용자가 필요에 맞게 기기를 구성할 때 더 많은 제어력과 유연성을 얻을 수 있습니다.
진행 상황 중심 알림
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.


뒤로 탐색 예측 업데이트
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.
더 풍부한 햅틱
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.
개발자 생산성 및 도구
생산성 향상을 위한 Google의 대부분의 작업은 Android 스튜디오, Jetpack Compose, Android Jetpack 라이브러리와 같은 도구를 중심으로 이루어지지만, Google은 항상 개발자의 비전을 실현하는 데 도움이 되는 방법을 플랫폼에서 찾고 있습니다.
라이브 배경화면의 콘텐츠 처리
In Android 16, the live wallpaper framework is gaining a new content API to
address the challenges of dynamic, user-driven wallpapers. Currently, live
wallpapers incorporating user-provided content require complex, service-specific
implementations. Android 16 introduces
WallpaperDescription
and
WallpaperInstance
. WallpaperDescription lets you
identify distinct instances of a live wallpaper from the same service. For
example, a wallpaper that has instances on both the home screen and on the lock
screen may have unique content in both places. The wallpaper picker and
WallpaperManager
use this metadata to better present
wallpapers to users, streamlining the process for you to create diverse and
personalized live wallpaper experiences.
성능 및 배터리
Android 16에서는 앱에 관한 통계를 수집하는 데 도움이 되는 API를 도입했습니다.
시스템 트리거 프로파일링
ProfilingManager
가 Android 15에 추가되어 앱이 현장의 공개 기기에서 Perfetto를 사용하여 프로파일링 데이터 수집을 요청할 수 있습니다.
그러나 이 프로파일링은 앱에서 시작해야 하므로 시작 또는 ANR과 같은 중요한 흐름은 앱에서 캡처하기 어렵거나 불가능합니다.
이를 위해 Android 16에서는 ProfilingManager
에 시스템 트리거 프로파일링을 도입합니다. 앱은 콜드 스타트 reportFullyDrawn
또는 ANR과 같은 특정 트리거의 트레이스를 수신하는 데 관심을 등록할 수 있으며, 그러면 시스템이 앱을 대신하여 트레이스를 시작하고 중지합니다. 트레이스가 완료되면 결과가 앱의 데이터 디렉터리에 전송됩니다.
ApplicationStartInfo에서 구성요소 시작
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.
더 나은 작업 검사
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.
자동 조절 새로고침 빈도
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.
ADPF의 Headroom API
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.
접근성
Android 16에는 모든 사용자에게 앱을 제공하는 데 도움이 되는 새로운 접근성 API 및 기능이 추가되었습니다.
접근성 API 개선
Android 16 adds additional APIs to enhance UI semantics that help improve consistency for users that rely on accessibility services, such as TalkBack.
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.
LEA 보청기와의 음성 통화에 휴대전화가 마이크 입력으로 사용됨
Android 16 adds the capability for users of LE Audio hearing aids to switch between the built-in microphones on the hearing aids and the microphone on their phone for voice calls. This can be helpful in noisy environments or other situations where the hearing aid's microphones might not perform well.
LEA 보청기의 주변 볼륨 제어
Android 16 adds the capability for users of LE Audio hearing aids to adjust the volume of ambient sound that is picked up by the hearing aid's microphones. This can be helpful in situations where background noise is too loud or too quiet.
카메라
Android 16은 전문 카메라 사용자를 위한 지원을 개선하여 정밀한 색온도 및 색조 조정과 함께 하이브리드 자동 노출을 지원합니다. 새로운 야간 모드 표시기는 앱이 야간 모드 카메라 세션을 전환할 시점을 알 수 있도록 지원합니다. 새로운 Intent
작업을 통해 모션 사진을 더 쉽게 캡처할 수 있으며, HEIC 인코딩 및 ISO 21496-1 초안 표준의 새로운 매개변수를 지원하여 UltraHDR 이미지를 지속적으로 개선하고 있습니다.
하이브리드 자동 노출
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) ...
}
정확한 색상 온도 및 색조 조정
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:





카메라 야간 모드 장면 감지
앱이 야간 모드 카메라 세션을 전환할 시기를 알 수 있도록 Android 16에는 EXTENSION_NIGHT_MODE_INDICATOR
가 추가되었습니다. 지원되는 경우 Camera2 내 CaptureResult
에서 사용할 수 있습니다.
이 API는 Instagram에서 사용자가 멋진 저조도 사진을 찍을 수 있게 된 방법 블로그 게시물에서 곧 제공될 예정이라고 간단히 언급한 API입니다. 이 게시물은 야간 모드를 구현하는 방법에 관한 실용적인 가이드와 함께 인앱 카메라에서 공유되는 사진 수가 증가함에 따라 인앱 야간 모드 사진의 품질이 향상되는 사례를 보여주는 사례 연구를 제공합니다.
모션 사진 캡처 인텐트 작업
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)
.
UltraHDR 이미지 개선

Android 16에서는 울트라 HDR 이미지로 눈부신 이미지 품질을 제공하기 위해 계속 노력하고 있습니다. HEIC 파일 형식의 UltraHDR 이미지 지원을 추가합니다. 이러한 이미지는 ImageFormat
유형 HEIC_ULTRAHDR
을 가져오고 기존 UltraHDR JPEG 형식과 유사한 삽입된 게인맵을 포함합니다. UltraHDR에 대한 AVIF 지원도 준비 중입니다.
또한 Android 16은 획득 맵 수학이 적용되어야 하는 색상 공간을 가져오고 설정하는 기능과 SDR 획득 맵이 있는 HDR 인코딩된 기본 이미지 지원을 비롯하여 ISO 21496-1 초안 표준의 추가 매개변수를 UltraHDR에 구현합니다.
그래픽
Android 16에는 AGSL을 사용한 맞춤 그래픽 효과와 같은 최신 그래픽 개선사항이 포함되어 있습니다.
AGSL을 사용한 맞춤 그래픽 효과
Android 16 adds RuntimeColorFilter
and
RuntimeXfermode
, allowing you to author complex effects like
Threshold, Sepia, and Hue Saturation and apply them to draw calls. Since Android
13, you've been able to use AGSL to create custom
RuntimeShaders that extend Shader
. The new API
mirrors this, adding an AGSL-powered RuntimeColorFilter
that
extends ColorFilter
, and a Xfermode
effect that
lets you implement AGSL-based custom compositing and blending between source and
destination pixels.
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
}

Android 16은 앱이 통신 및 무선 기술의 최신 발전사항에 액세스할 수 있도록 플랫폼을 업데이트합니다.
향상된 보안으로 범위 설정
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.
일반 측정 API
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.
미디어
Android 16에는 미디어 환경을 개선하는 다양한 기능이 포함되어 있습니다.
사진 선택 도구 개선사항
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.
고급 전문 동영상
Android 16 introduces support for the Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec which is designed to be used for professional level high quality video recording and post production.
The APV codec standard has the following features:
- Perceptually lossless video quality (close to raw video quality)
- Low complexity and high throughput intra-frame-only coding (without pixel domain prediction) to better support editing workflows
- Support for high bit-rate range up to a few Gbps for 2K, 4K and 8K resolution content, enabled by a lightweight entropy coding scheme
- Frame tiling for immersive content and for enabling parallel encoding and decoding
- Support for various chroma sampling formats and bit-depths
- Support for multiple decoding and re-encoding without severe visual quality degradation
- Support multi-view video and auxiliary video like depth, alpha, and preview
- Support for HDR10/10+ and user-defined metadata
A reference implementation of APV is provided through the OpenAPV project. Android 16 will implement support for the APV 422-10 Profile that provides YUV 422 color sampling along with 10-bit encoding and for target bitrates of up to 2Gbps.
개인정보 보호
Android 16에는 앱 개발자가 사용자 개인 정보를 보호하는 데 도움이 되는 다양한 기능이 포함되어 있습니다.
헬스 커넥트 업데이트
Health Connect in the developer preview adds ACTIVITY_INTENSITY
, a new
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 health records. This allows apps to read and write medical records in FHIR format with explicit user consent. This API is in an early access program. If you'd like to participate, sign up to be part of our early access program.
Android의 개인 정보 보호 샌드박스
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.
보안
Android 16에는 앱의 보안을 강화하고 앱의 데이터를 보호하는 데 도움이 되는 기능이 포함되어 있습니다.
Key sharing API
Android 16 adds APIs that support sharing access to
Android Keystore keys with other apps. The new
KeyStoreManager
class supports
granting and revoking access to keys
by app uid, and includes an API for apps to access shared
keys.
기기 폼 팩터
Android 16은 앱이 Android의 폼 팩터를 최대한 활용할 수 있도록 지원합니다.
TV용 표준화된 화질 및 오디오 품질 프레임워크
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.
다국어 지원
Android 16에는 기기가 여러 언어로 사용될 때 사용자 환경을 보완하는 기능이 추가되었습니다.
세로 텍스트
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
)
}
}
) {}
측정 시스템 맞춤설정
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.
