功能和 API

Android 16 面向开发者引入了一些出色的新功能和 API。以下部分总结了这些功能,可帮助您开始使用相关 API。

您还应查看平台变更可能会在哪些方面影响您的应用。如需了解详情,请参阅以下页面:

核心功能

Android 包含可扩展 Android 系统核心功能的新 API。

2025 年发布两个 Android API

  • 此预览版适用于 Android 的下一个主要版本,计划于 2025 年第 2 季度发布。此版本与我们过去的所有 API 版本类似,我们可以进行计划性的行为更改,这些更改通常与 targetSdkVersion 相关联。
  • 我们计划提前一个季度(2021 年第 2 季度,而非之前的第 3 季度)发布主要版本,以便更好地与整个生态系统中的设备发布时间表保持一致,让更多设备能够更早地搭载 Android 主要版本。由于主要版本将于第 2 季度发布,因此您需要比往年提前几个月进行年度兼容性测试,以确保您的应用已做好准备。
  • 我们计划在 2025 年第 4 季度再发布一次,届时还将推出新的开发者 API。2025 年只有第二季度的主要版本包含可能影响应用的计划行为变更。

除了新的开发者 API 之外,第 4 季度次要版本还将包含功能更新、优化和 bug 修复;其中不会包含任何会影响应用的行为变更。

2025 年 Android 版本的时间轴视图,请注意,25Q2 版本是一个主要版本,25Q4 版本是一个次要版本。

我们将继续每季度发布 Android 版本。在 API 版本之间,第 1 季度和第 3 季度的更新将提供增量更新,以帮助确保持续提供高质量的服务。我们正积极与设备合作伙伴合作,将 Q2 版本推广到尽可能多的设备。

在主要版本和次要版本中使用新 API

目前,使用 SDK_INT 常量与 VERSION_CODES 结合使用,即可通过检查 API 级别来保护代码块。我们将继续支持主要 Android 版本。

if (SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.BAKLAVA) {
  // Use APIs introduced in Android 16
}

新的 SDK_INT_FULL 常量可用于针对主要版本和次要版本进行 API 检查,并使用新的 VERSION_CODES_FULL 枚举。

if (SDK_INT_FULL >= VERSION_CODES_FULL.[MAJOR or MINOR RELEASE]) {
  // Use APIs introduced in a major or minor release
}

您还可以使用 Build.getMinorSdkVersion() 方法仅获取 SDK 次要版本。

val minorSdkVersion = Build.getMinorSdkVersion(VERSION_CODES_FULL.BAKLAVA)

这些 API 尚未最终确定,可能会发生变化,因此如果您有任何疑虑,请向我们发送反馈

用户体验和系统界面

Android 16 让应用开发者和用户可以更好地控制和灵活地配置设备,以满足他们的需求。

预测性返回更新

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.

更丰富的触感反馈

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.

性能和电池

Android 16 引入了一些 API,可帮助您收集有关应用的数据分析。

系统触发的性能分析

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.

在 ApplicationStartInfo 中启动组件

ApplicationStartInfo 在 Android 15 中添加,可让应用查看进程启动原因、启动类型、启动时间、节流和其他实用诊断数据。Android 16 添加了 getStartComponent(),用于区分触发启动的组件类型,这有助于优化应用的启动流程。

更好的作业自省

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.

自适应刷新率

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.

连接

Android 16 更新了平台,让您的应用可以使用通信和无线技术的最新进展。

使用增强型安全功能进行测距

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.

媒体

Android 16 包含多种用于改进媒体体验的功能。

改进了照片选择器

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.

隐私设置

Android 16 包含多种功能,可帮助应用开发者保护用户隐私。

健康数据共享更新

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.

Privacy Sandbox on 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.
