Android apps run on a wide variety of devices—from foldable flip phones to
wall‑mounted TVs. To provide a great user experience on all types of
devices, adapt your app's UI to different display sizes and configurations. The
best Android apps make the most of the screen space they occupy and handle
changes to that space at runtime, including orientation changes and window
resizing in split‑screen and desktop windowing modes.
