Hauptfunktion

Android 17 bietet die folgenden neuen Funktionen im Zusammenhang mit der Android-Kernfunktionalität.

Neue ProfilingManager-Trigger

Android 17 adds several new system triggers to ProfilingManager to help you collect in-depth data to debug performance issues.

The new triggers are:

TRIGGER_TYPE_COLD_START: Trigger occurs during app cold start. It provides both a call stack sample and a system trace in the response.
TRIGGER_TYPE_OOM: Trigger occurs when an app throws an OutOfMemoryError and provides a Java Heap Dump in response.
TRIGGER_TYPE_KILL_EXCESSIVE_CPU_USAGE: Trigger occurs when an app is killed due to abnormal and excessive CPU usage and provides a call stack sample in response.

To understand how to set up the system trigger, see the documentation on trigger-based profiling and how to retrieve and analyze profiling data documentation.

JobDebugInfo-APIs

Android 17 introduces new JobDebugInfo APIs to help developers debug their JobScheduler jobs--why they aren't running, how long they ran for, and other aggregated information.

The first method of the expanded JobDebugInfo APIs is getPendingJobReasonStats(), which returns a map of reasons why the job was in a pending execution state and their respective cumulative pending durations. This method joins the getPendingJobReasonsHistory() and getPendingJobReasons() methods to give you insight into why a scheduled job is not running as expected, but simplifies information retrieval by making both duration and job reason available in a single method.

For example, for a specified jobId, the method might return PENDING_JOB_REASON_CONSTRAINT_CHARGING and a duration of 60000 ms, indicating the job was pending for 60000ms due to the charging constraint not being satisfied.

Weniger Aktivierungssperren mit Listener-Unterstützung für Alarme im Leerlaufmodus

Android 17 introduces a new variant of AlarmManager.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle that accepts an OnAlarmListener instead of a PendingIntent. This new callback-based mechanism is ideal for apps that currently rely on continuous wakelocks to perform periodic tasks, such as messaging apps maintaining socket connections.

Datenschutz

Android 17 enthält die folgenden neuen Funktionen, um den Datenschutz für Nutzer zu verbessern.

Plattformunterstützung für Encrypted Client Hello (ECH)

Android 17 introduces platform support for Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), a significant privacy enhancement for network communications. ECH is a TLS 1.3 extension that encrypts the Server Name Indication (SNI) during the initial TLS handshake. This encryption helps protect user privacy by making it more difficult for network intermediaries to identify the specific domain an app is connecting to.

The platform now includes the necessary APIs for networking libraries to implement ECH. This includes new capabilities in DnsResolver to query for HTTPS DNS records containing ECH configurations, and new methods in Conscrypt's SSLEngines and SSLSockets to enable ECH by passing in these configurations when connecting to a domain. Developers can configure ECH preferences, such as enabling it opportunistically or mandating its use, through the new <domainEncryption> element within the Network Security Configuration file, applicable globally or on a per-domain basis.

Popular networking libraries such as HttpEngine, WebView, and OkHttp are expected to integrate these platform APIs in future updates, making it easier for apps to adopt ECH and enhance user privacy.

For more information, see the Encrypted Client Hello documentation.

Android-Kontaktauswahl

The Android Contact Picker is a standardized, browsable interface for users to share contacts with your app. Available on devices running Android 17 (API level 37) or higher, the picker offers a privacy-preserving alternative to the broad READ_CONTACTS permission. Instead of requesting access to the user's entire address book, your app specifies the data fields it needs, such as phone numbers or email addresses, and the user selects specific contacts to share. This grants your app read access to only the selected data, ensuring granular control while providing a consistent user experience with built-in search, profile switching, and multi-selection capabilities without having to build or maintain the UI.

For more information, see the contact picker documentation.

Sicherheit

Android 17 bietet die folgenden neuen Funktionen, um die Sicherheit von Geräten und Apps zu verbessern.

Erweiterter Sicherheitsprogramm-Modus für Android (Android Advanced Protection Mode, AAPM)

Der erweiterte Sicherheitsmodus für Android bietet Android-Nutzern eine Reihe leistungsstarker neuer Sicherheitsfunktionen. Er ist ein wichtiger Schritt, um Nutzer – insbesondere solche mit einem höheren Risiko – vor ausgeklügelten Angriffen zu schützen. AAPM ist als Opt-in-Funktion konzipiert und wird mit einer einzigen Konfigurationseinstellung aktiviert, die Nutzer jederzeit aktivieren können, um eine vordefinierte Reihe von Sicherheitsmaßnahmen anzuwenden.

Zu diesen Kernkonfigurationen gehören das Blockieren der App-Installation aus unbekannten Quellen (Sideloading), das Einschränken der USB-Datensignalisierung und das Erzwingen von Google Play Protect-Scans. Dadurch wird die Angriffsfläche des Geräts erheblich verringert. Entwickler können diese Funktion über die AdvancedProtectionManager API einbinden, um den Status des Modus zu erkennen. So können Anwendungen automatisch eine verstärkte Sicherheitskonfiguration annehmen oder risikoreiche Funktionen einschränken, wenn ein Nutzer sich dafür entschieden hat.

PQC-APK-Signierung

Android unterstützt jetzt ein hybrides APK-Signaturschema, um die Signaturidentität Ihrer App vor potenziellen Angriffen zu schützen, die Quantencomputer nutzen. Mit dieser Funktion wird ein neues APK-Signaturschema eingeführt, mit dem Sie einen klassischen Signaturschlüssel (z. B. RSA oder EC) mit einem neuen Algorithmus für die Post-Quantum-Kryptografie (PQC) (ML-DSA) kombinieren können.

Dieser hybride Ansatz sorgt dafür, dass Ihre App auch in Zukunft vor Quantenangriffen geschützt ist. Gleichzeitig wird die vollständige Abwärtskompatibilität mit älteren Android-Versionen und Geräten beibehalten, die auf der klassischen Signaturprüfung basieren.

Auswirkungen auf Entwickler

Apps mit der Google Play App-Signatur:Wenn Sie die Google Play App-Signatur verwenden, können Sie warten, bis Google Play Ihnen die Möglichkeit bietet, eine hybride Signatur mit einem von Google Play generierten PQC-Schlüssel zu aktualisieren. So ist Ihre App geschützt, ohne dass Sie die Schlüssel manuell verwalten müssen.
Apps mit selbst verwalteten Schlüsseln:Entwickler, die ihre eigenen Signaturschlüssel verwalten, können aktualisierte Android-Build-Tools (z. B. apksigner) verwenden, um zu einer hybriden Identität zu wechseln, indem sie einen PQC-Schlüssel mit einem neuen klassischen Schlüssel kombinieren. Sie müssen einen neuen klassischen Schlüssel erstellen. Der alte kann nicht wiederverwendet werden.

Konnektivität

Android 17 bietet die folgenden Funktionen, um die Konnektivität von Geräten und Apps zu verbessern.

Eingeschränkte Satellitennetzwerke

Implements optimizations to enable apps to function effectively over low-bandwidth satellite networks.

Nutzererfahrung und System-UI

Android 17 enthält die folgenden Änderungen, um die Nutzererfahrung zu verbessern.

Dedizierter Lautstärkestream für Assistant

Android 17 introduces a dedicated Assistant volume stream for Assistant apps, for playback with USAGE_ASSISTANT. This change decouples Assistant audio from the standard media stream, providing users with isolated control over both volumes. This enables scenarios such as muting media playback while maintaining audibility for Assistant responses, and the other way around.

Assistant apps with access to the new MODE_ASSISTANT_CONVERSATION audio mode can further improve the volume control consistency. Assistant apps can use this mode to provide a hint to the system about an active Assistant session, ensuring the Assistant stream can be controlled outside of the active USAGE_ASSISTANT playback or with connected Bluetooth peripherals.

Handoff

Handoff is a new feature and API coming to Android 17 that app developers can integrate with to provide cross-device continuity for their users. It allows the user to start an app activity on one Android device and transition it to another Android device. Handoff runs in the background of a user's device and surfaces available activities from the user's other nearby devices through various entry points, like the launcher and taskbar, on the receiving device.

Apps can designate Handoff to launch the same native Android app, if it is installed and available on the receiving device. In this app-to-app flow, the user is deep-linked to the designated activity. Alternatively, app-to-web Handoff can be offered as a fallback option or directly implemented with URL Handoff.

Handoff support is implemented on a per-activity basis. To enable Handoff, call the setHandoffEnabled() method for the activity. Additional data may need to be passed along with the handoff so the recreated activity on the receiving device can restore appropriate state. Implement the onHandoffActivityRequested() callback to return a HandoffActivityData object which contains details that specify how Handoff should handle and recreate the activity on the receiving device.

Live-Update – Semantische Farb-API

With Android 17, Live Update launches the Semantic Coloring APIs to support colors with universal meaning.

The following classes support semantic coloring:

Coloring

Green: Associated with safety. This color should be used for the case where it lets people know you are in the safe situation.
Orange: For designating caution and marking physical hazards. This color should be used in the situation where users need to pay attention to set better protection setting.
Red: Generally indicates danger, stop. It should be presented for the case where need people's attention urgently.
Blue: Neutral color for content that is informational and should stand out from other content.

The following example shows how to apply semantic styles to text in a notification:

  val ssb = SpannableStringBuilder()
        .append("Colors: ")
        .append("NONE", Notification.createSemanticStyleAnnotation(SEMANTIC_STYLE_UNSPECIFIED), 0)
        .append(", ")
        .append("INFO", Notification.createSemanticStyleAnnotation(SEMANTIC_STYLE_INFO), 0)
        .append(", ")
        .append("SAFE", Notification.createSemanticStyleAnnotation(SEMANTIC_STYLE_SAFE), 0)
        .append(", ")
        .append("CAUTION", Notification.createSemanticStyleAnnotation(SEMANTIC_STYLE_CAUTION), 0)
        .append(", ")
        .append("DANGER", Notification.createSemanticStyleAnnotation(SEMANTIC_STYLE_DANGER), 0)

    Notification.Builder(context, channelId)
          .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_icon)
          .setContentTitle("Hello World!")
          .setContentText(ssb)
          .setOngoing(true)
              .setRequestPromotedOngoing(true)

UWB-Downlink-TDoA-API für Android 17

Downlink Time Difference of Arrival (DL-TDoA) ranging lets a device determine its position relative to multiple anchors by measuring the relative arrival times of signals.

The following snippet demonstrates how to initialize the Ranging Manager, verify device capabilities, and start a DL-TDoA session:

Kotlin

class RangingApp {

    fun initDlTdoa(context: Context) {
        // Initialize the Ranging Manager
        val rangingManager = context.getSystemService(RangingManager::class.java)

        // Register for device capabilities
        val capabilitiesCallback = object : RangingManager.CapabilitiesCallback {
            override fun onRangingCapabilities(capabilities: RangingCapabilities) {
                // Make sure Dl-TDoA is supported before starting the session
                if (capabilities.uwbCapabilities != null && capabilities.uwbCapabilities!!.isDlTdoaSupported) {
                    startDlTDoASession(context)
                }
            }
        }
        rangingManager.registerCapabilitiesCallback(Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(), capabilitiesCallback)
    }

    fun startDlTDoASession(context: Context) {

        // Initialize the Ranging Manager
        val rangingManager = context.getSystemService(RangingManager::class.java)

        // Create session and configure parameters
        val executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()
        val rangingSession = rangingManager.createRangingSession(executor, RangingSessionCallback())
        val rangingRoundIndexes = intArrayOf(0)
        val config: ByteArray = byteArrayOf() // OOB config data
        val params = DlTdoaRangingParams.createFromFiraConfigPacket(config, rangingRoundIndexes)

        val rangingDevice = RangingDevice.Builder().build()
        val rawTagDevice = RawRangingDevice.Builder()
            .setRangingDevice(rangingDevice)
            .setDlTdoaRangingParams(params)
            .build()

        val dtTagConfig = RawDtTagRangingConfig.Builder(rawTagDevice).build()

        val preference = RangingPreference.Builder(DEVICE_ROLE_DT_TAG, dtTagConfig)
            .setSessionConfig(SessionConfig.Builder().build())
            .build()

        // Start the ranging session
        rangingSession.start(preference)
    }
}

private class RangingSessionCallback : RangingSession.Callback {
    override fun onDlTdoaResults(peer: RangingDevice, measurement: DlTdoaMeasurement) {
        // Process measurement results here
    }
}

Java

public class RangingApp {

    public void initDlTdoa(Context context) {

        // Initialize the Ranging Manager
        RangingManager rangingManager = context.getSystemService(RangingManager.class);

        // Register for device capabilities
        RangingManager.CapabilitiesCallback capabilitiesCallback = new RangingManager.CapabilitiesCallback() {
            @Override
            public void onRangingCapabilities(RangingCapabilities capabilities) {
                // Make sure Dl-TDoA is supported before starting the session
                if (capabilities.getUwbCapabilities() != null && capabilities.getUwbCapabilities().isDlTdoaSupported) {
                    startDlTDoASession(context);
                }
            }
        };
        rangingManager.registerCapabilitiesCallback(Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(), capabilitiesCallback);
    }

    public void startDlTDoASession(Context context) {
        RangingManager rangingManager = context.getSystemService(RangingManager.class);

        // Create session and configure parameters
        Executor executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
        RangingSession rangingSession = rangingManager.createRangingSession(executor, new RangingSessionCallback());
        int[] rangingRoundIndexes = new int[] {0};
        byte[] config = new byte[0]; // OOB config data
        DlTdoaRangingParams params = DlTdoaRangingParams.createFromFiraConfigPacket(config, rangingRoundIndexes);

        RangingDevice rangingDevice = new RangingDevice.Builder().build();
        RawRangingDevice rawTagDevice = new RawRangingDevice.Builder()
                .setRangingDevice(rangingDevice)
                .setDlTdoaRangingParams(params)
                .build();

        RawDtTagRangingConfig dtTagConfig = new RawDtTagRangingConfig.Builder(rawTagDevice).build();

        RangingPreference preference = new RangingPreference.Builder(DEVICE_ROLE_DT_TAG, dtTagConfig)
                .setSessionConfig(new SessionConfig.Builder().build())
                .build();

        // Start the ranging session
        rangingSession.start(preference);
    }

    private static class RangingSessionCallback implements RangingSession.Callback {

        @Override
        public void onDlTdoaResults(RangingDevice peer, DlTdoaMeasurement measurement) {
            // Process measurement results here
        }
    }
}

Out-of-Band (OOB) Configurations

The following snippet provides an example of DL-TDoA OOB configuration data for Wi-Fi and BLE:

Java

// Wifi Configuration
byte[] wifiConfig = {
    (byte) 0xDD, (byte) 0x2D, (byte) 0x5A, (byte) 0x18, (byte) 0xFF, // Header
    (byte) 0x5F, (byte) 0x19, // FiRa Sub-Element
    (byte) 0x02, (byte) 0x00, // Profile ID
    (byte) 0x06, (byte) 0x02, (byte) 0x20, (byte) 0x08, // MAC Address
    (byte) 0x14, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x0C, // Preamble Index
    (byte) 0x27, (byte) 0x02, (byte) 0x08, (byte) 0x07, // Vendor ID
    (byte) 0x28, (byte) 0x06, (byte) 0xCA, (byte) 0xC8, (byte) 0xA6, (byte) 0xF7, (byte) 0x6F, (byte) 0x08, // Static STS IV
    (byte) 0x08, (byte) 0x02, (byte) 0x60, (byte) 0x09, // Slot Duration
    (byte) 0x1B, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x0A, // Slots per RR
    (byte) 0x09, (byte) 0x04, (byte) 0xE8, (byte) 0x03, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, // Duration
    (byte) 0x9F, (byte) 0x04, (byte) 0x67, (byte) 0x45, (byte) 0x23, (byte) 0x01  // Session ID
};

// BLE Configuration
byte[] bleConfig = {
    (byte) 0x2D, (byte) 0x16, (byte) 0xF4, (byte) 0xFF, // Header
    (byte) 0x5F, (byte) 0x19, // FiRa Sub-Element
    (byte) 0x02, (byte) 0x00, // Profile ID
    (byte) 0x06, (byte) 0x02, (byte) 0x20, (byte) 0x08, // MAC Address
    (byte) 0x14, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x0C, // Preamble Index
    (byte) 0x27, (byte) 0x02, (byte) 0x08, (byte) 0x07, // Vendor ID
    (byte) 0x28, (byte) 0x06, (byte) 0xCA, (byte) 0xC8, (byte) 0xA6, (byte) 0xF7, (byte) 0x6F, (byte) 0x08, // Static STS IV
    (byte) 0x08, (byte) 0x02, (byte) 0x60, (byte) 0x09, // Slot Duration
    (byte) 0x1B, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x0A, // Slots per RR
    (byte) 0x09, (byte) 0x04, (byte) 0xE8, (byte) 0x03, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, // Duration
    (byte) 0x9F, (byte) 0x04, (byte) 0x67, (byte) 0x45, (byte) 0x23, (byte) 0x01  // Session ID
};

If you can't use an OOB configuration because it is missing, or if you need to change default values that aren't in the OOB config, you can build parameters with DlTdoaRangingParams.Builder as shown in the following snippet. You can use these parameters in place of DlTdoaRangingParams.createFromFiraConfigPacket():

Kotlin

val dlTdoaParams = DlTdoaRangingParams.Builder(1)
    .setComplexChannel(UwbComplexChannel.Builder()
            .setChannel(9).setPreambleIndex(10).build())
    .setDeviceAddress(deviceAddress)
    .setSessionKeyInfo(byteArrayOf(0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04))
    .setRangingIntervalMillis(240)
    .setSlotDuration(UwbRangingParams.DURATION_2_MS)
    .setSlotsPerRangingRound(20)
    .setRangingRoundIndexes(byteArrayOf(0x01, 0x05))
    .build()

Java

DlTdoaRangingParams dlTdoaParams = new DlTdoaRangingParams.Builder(1)
    .setComplexChannel(new UwbComplexChannel.Builder()
            .setChannel(9).setPreambleIndex(10).build())
    .setDeviceAddress(deviceAddress)
    .setSessionKeyInfo(new byte[]{0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04})
    .setRangingIntervalMillis(240)
    .setSlotDuration(UwbRangingParams.DURATION_2_MS)
    .setSlotsPerRangingRound(20)
    .setRangingRoundIndexes(new byte[]{0x01, 0x05})
    .build();
