Android 11 Developer Preview: Everything developers need to know

▤ Summary

Also read: Android 11 hands on and first impressions That latter point means there are more new features designed to help users control app behavior and restrict access to sensitive data. This is designed to support waterfall screen edges (so Samsung devices), to include insets and thereby to handle interactions (and prevent accidental swipes and taps). They’re available in this developer preview however, and will allow users to interact with messaging apps via floating chat heads (ala Facebook Messenger). Google has also updated the lists of restricted non-SDK interfaces, and provided a public API for loading resources and assets dynamically at runtime. ImageDecoder API now supports decoding and rendering image sequence animations from HEIF files, thus allowing the use of high quality assets with minimal impact on network data/APK sizes.
