Как и в предыдущих версиях, Android 17 включает изменения в поведении, которые могут повлиять на ваше приложение. Следующие изменения в поведении применяются исключительно к приложениям, ориентированным на Android 17 или более поздние версии. Если ваше приложение ориентировано на Android 17 или более поздние версии, вам следует внести в него изменения для поддержки этих изменений, где это применимо.
Обязательно ознакомьтесь также со списком изменений в поведении, которые затрагивают все приложения, работающие на Android 17, независимо от targetSdkVersion вашего приложения.
Основная функциональность
В Android 17 внесены следующие изменения, которые модифицируют или расширяют различные основные возможности системы Android.
Новая реализация MessageQueue без блокировок
Beginning with Android 17, apps targeting Android 17 (API level 37)
or higher receive a new lock-free implementation of
android.os.MessageQueue. The new implementation improves performance and
reduces missed frames, but may break clients that reflect on MessageQueue
private fields and methods.
For more information, including mitigation strategies, see MessageQueue behavior change guidance.
Статические поля, являющиеся окончательными, теперь не подлежат изменению.
Apps running on Android 17 or higher that target
Android 17 (API level 37) or higher cannot change static final fields. If
an app attempts to change a static final field by using reflection, it will
cause an IllegalAccessException. Attempting to modify one of these fields
through JNI APIs (such as SetStaticLongField()) will cause the app to crash.
Доступность
В Android 17 внесены следующие изменения для улучшения доступности.
Поддержка доступности при вводе текста с физической клавиатуры с использованием сложных IME.
This feature introduces new AccessibilityEvent and TextAttribute
APIs to enhance screen reader spoken feedback for CJKV language input. CJKV IME
apps can now signal whether a text conversion candidate has been selected during
text composition. Apps with edit fields can specify text change types when
sending text changed accessibility events.
For example, apps can specify that a text change occurred during text
composition, or that a text change resulted from a commit.
Doing this enables accessibility
services such as screen readers to deliver more precise feedback based on the
nature of the text modification.
App adoption
IME Apps: When setting composing text in edit fields, IMEs can use
TextAttribute.Builder.setTextSuggestionSelected()to indicate whether a specific conversion candidate was selected.Apps with Edit Fields: Apps that maintain a custom
InputConnectioncan retrieve candidate selection data by callingTextAttribute.isTextSuggestionSelected(). These apps should then callAccessibilityEvent.setTextChangeTypes()when dispatchingTYPE_VIEW_TEXT_CHANGEDevents. Apps targeting Android 17 (API level 37) that use the standardTextViewwill have this feature enabled by default. (That is,TextViewwill handle retrieving data from the IME and setting text change types when sending events to accessibility services).Accessibility Services: Accessibility services that process
TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_CHANGEDevents can callAccessibilityEvent.getTextChangeTypes()to identify the nature of the modification and adjust their feedback strategies accordingly.
Конфиденциальность
В Android 17 внесены следующие изменения для повышения конфиденциальности пользователей.
Технология ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) включена по мере необходимости.
Android 17 introduces platform support for Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), a TLS extension that enhances user privacy by encrypting the Server Name Indication (SNI) in the TLS handshake. This encryption helps prevent network observers from easily identifying the specific domain your app is connecting to.
For apps targeting Android 17 (API level 37) or higher, ECH is opportunistically used for TLS connections. ECH is active only if the networking library used by the app (for example, HttpEngine, WebView, or OkHttp) has integrated ECH support and the remote server also supports the ECH protocol. If ECH cannot be negotiated, the connection automatically falls back to a standard TLS handshake without SNI encryption.
To allow apps to customize this behavior, Android 17 adds a new
<domainEncryption> element to the Network Security Configuration file.
Developers can use <domainEncryption> within <base-config> or
<domain-config> tags to select an ECH mode (for example,
"opportunistic", "enabled", or "disabled") on a global or per-domain
basis.
For more information, see the Encrypted Client Hello documentation.
Для приложений, ориентированных на Android 17, требуется разрешение на доступ к локальной сети.
Android 17 introduces the ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK runtime permission
to protect users from unauthorized local network access. Because this falls
under the existing NEARBY_DEVICES permission group, users who have already
granted other NEARBY_DEVICES permissions aren't prompted again. This new
requirement prevents malicious apps from exploiting unrestricted local network
access for covert user tracking and fingerprinting. By declaring and requesting
this permission, your app can discover and connect to devices on the local area
network (LAN), such as smart home devices or casting receivers.
Apps targeting Android 17 (API level 37) or higher now have two paths to maintain communication with LAN devices: Adopt system-mediated, privacy-preserving device pickers to skip the permission prompt, or explicitly request this new permission at runtime to maintain local network communication.
For more information, see the Local network permission documentation.
Скрытие паролей с физических устройств
If an app targets Android 17 (API level 37) or higher and the user is using
a physical input device (for example, an external keyboard), the Android
operating system applies the new show_passwords_physical setting to all
characters in the password field. By default, that setting hides all password
characters.
The Android system shows the last-typed password character to help the user see if they mistyped the password. However, this is much less necessary with larger external keyboards. In addition, devices with external keyboards often have larger displays, which increases the danger of someone seeing the typed password.
If the user is using the device's touchscreen, the system applies the new
show_passwords_touch setting.
Безопасность
В Android 17 внесены следующие улучшения в безопасность устройств и приложений.
Безопасность деятельности
In Android 17, the platform continues its shift toward a "secure-by-default" architecture, introducing a suite of enhancements designed to mitigate high-severity exploits such as phishing, interaction hijacking, and confused deputy attacks. This update requires developers to explicitly opt in to new security standards to maintain app compatibility and user protection.
Key impacts for developers include:
- BAL hardening & improved opt-in: We are refining Background Activity
Launch (BAL) restrictions by extending protections to
IntentSender. Developers must migrate away from the legacyMODE_BACKGROUND_ACTIVITY_START_ALLOWEDconstant. Instead, you should adopt granular controls likeMODE_BACKGROUND_ACTIVITY_START_ALLOW_IF_VISIBLE, which restricts activity starts to scenarios where the calling app is visible, significantly reducing the attack surface. - Adoption tools: Developers should utilize strict mode and updated lint checks to identify legacy patterns and ensure readiness for future target SDK requirements.
Включить КТ по умолчанию
If an app targets Android 17 (API level 37) or higher, certificate transparency (CT) is enabled by default. (On Android 16, CT is available but apps had to opt in.)
Более безопасный коренной DCL—C
If your app targets Android 17 (API level 37) or higher, the Safer Dynamic Code Loading (DCL) protection introduced in Android 14 for DEX and JAR files now extends to native libraries.
All native files loaded using System.load() must be marked as read-only.
Otherwise, the system throws UnsatisfiedLinkError.
We recommend that apps avoid dynamically loading code whenever possible, as doing so greatly increases the risk that an app can be compromised by code injection or code tampering.
форм-факторы устройств
В Android 17 внесены следующие изменения для улучшения пользовательского опыта на устройствах различных размеров и форм-факторов.
Изменения в API платформы позволяют игнорировать ограничения по ориентации, масштабируемости и соотношению сторон на больших экранах (sw>=600dp).
We introduced Platform API changes in Android 16 to ignore orientation, aspect ratio, and resizability restrictions on large screens (sw >= 600dp) for apps targeting API level 36 or higher. Developers have the option to opt out of these changes with SDK 36, but this opt-out will no longer be available for apps that target Android 17 (API level 37) or higher.
For more information, see Restrictions on orientation and resizability are ignored.
