Compatibility framework changes (Android 15)

**Figure 1**. The App Compatibility Changes screen in developer options lists the changes that you can toggle.

This page describes toggleable changes that are part of the compatibility framework in Android 15 (API level 35). Use this list in conjunction with the developer options and ADB commands to test and debug your app as you prepare to support and target Android 15.

Here are some of the things you can do using the compatibility framework tools:

Test targeted changes without actually changing the app's targetSdkVersion. You can use the toggles to force-enable specific targeted behavior changes to evaluate the impact on your existing app.
Focus your testing on specific changes only. Rather than having to address all targeted changes at once, the toggles let you disable all targeted changes except the ones you want to test against.
Manage toggles through adb. You can use adb commands to enable and disable the toggleable changes in your automated test environment.
Debug faster using standard change IDs. Toggleable changes each have a unique ID and name that you can use to quickly debug root cause in log output.

For complete details on using the tools for each of these use cases, see Compatibility framework tools.

Behavior changes included in the compatibility framework

The list in this section describes toggleable changes that are included in the compatibility framework for Android 15-related changes and toggleable changes that can help with general app testing.

You can filter the list of changes by their Default State.

Toggleable changes in the compatibility framework in Android 15

Toggleable changes in the compatibility framework in Android 15
`CAMERA_MIC_INDICATORS_NOT_PRESENT` Change ID: 162547999 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Indicates that this device supports camera and microphone indicators. The value is `false` if present, because the `CompatChanges#isChangeEnabled` method returns `true` if the Change ID is not present.
`CHECK_PARAMS_IN_IS_SESSION_CONFIGURATION_SUPPORTED` Change ID: 320741775 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, `isSessionConfigurationSupported` also checks for compatibility of session parameters when supported by the HAL.
`DEFAULT_RESCIND_BAL_PRIVILEGES_FROM_PENDING_INTENT_CREATOR` Change ID: 296478951 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, the creator of a `PendingIntent` blocks background activity launches by default. To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about Secured background activity launches.
`DEPRECATE_UI_FONT` Change ID: 279646685 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, the `elegantTextHeight` `TextView` attribute becomes `true` by default when your app is running on a device with Android 15 or higher, replacing the compact font used by default with some scripts that have large vertical metrics with one that is much more readable. To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about elegantTextHeight attribute defaults to true.
`DOWNSCALED` Change ID: 168419799 Default State: Disabled for all apps. This change is the gatekeeper of all per-app buffer downscaling changes. Enabling this change allows the following scaling factors to be applied: `DOWNSCALE_30` `DOWNSCALE_35` `DOWNSCALE_40` `DOWNSCALE_45` `DOWNSCALE_50` `DOWNSCALE_55` `DOWNSCALE_60` `DOWNSCALE_65` `DOWNSCALE_70` `DOWNSCALE_75` `DOWNSCALE_80` `DOWNSCALE_85` `DOWNSCALE_90` When this change is enabled for an app package, the app is forcibly resized to the highest, enabled scaling factor. For example, 80% is used if both 80% and 70% (`DOWNSCALE_80` and `DOWNSCALE_70`) are enabled. When both this change and `DOWNSCALED_INVERSE` are enabled, `DOWNSCALED_INVERSE` takes precedence and the scaling factor is applied inversely.
`DOWNSCALED_INVERSE` Change ID: 273564678 Default State: Disabled for all apps. This change is the gatekeeper of all per-app buffer inverse downscaling changes. Enabling this change allows the following scaling factors to be inversely applied (that is, the resolution is upscaled instead): `DOWNSCALE_30` `DOWNSCALE_35` `DOWNSCALE_40` `DOWNSCALE_45` `DOWNSCALE_50` `DOWNSCALE_55` `DOWNSCALE_60` `DOWNSCALE_65` `DOWNSCALE_70` `DOWNSCALE_75` `DOWNSCALE_80` `DOWNSCALE_85` `DOWNSCALE_90` When this change is enabled for an app package, the app is forcibly resized to the lowest, enabled scaling factor. For example, 80% is used if both 80% and 70% (`DOWNSCALE_80` and `DOWNSCALE_70`) are enabled because when inversely applied, an 80% scaling factor equals 125%, which is less than the 142.86% scaling that is applied when inversely applying a 70% scaling factor. When both this change and `DOWNSCALED` are enabled, `DOWNSCALED_INVERSE` takes precedence and the scaling factor is applied inversely.
`DOWNSCALE_30` Change ID: 189970040 Default State: Disabled for all apps. If `DOWNSCALED` is also enabled, enabling this change for a package forces the app to assume it's running on a display with 30% of the vertical and horizontal resolution of the real display.

`DO_NOT_CLONE_IN_ARRAYS_AS_LIST` Change ID: 202956589 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, when using `Arrays.asList(...).toArray()`, the component type of the resulting array is now an `Object`—not the type of the underlying array's elements. So the following code throws a `ClassCastException`: String[] elements = (String[]) Arrays.asList("one", "two").toArray(); For this case, to preserve `String` as the component type in the resulting array, you could use `Collection.toArray(Object[])` instead: String[] elements = Arrays.asList("two", "one").toArray(new String[0]); To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about OpenJDK API changes.
`ENABLE_BUNDLE_LAUNCH_ACTIVITY_ITEM` Change ID: 324203798 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, to prevent any existing apps from having app compatibility issues with non-SDK usages of `ClientTransaction#getActivityToken()`, only allow bundling `LaunchActivityItem`.
`ENABLE_MATCH_LOCAL_NETWORK` Change ID: 319212206 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, apps receive network callbacks from local networks by default. Apps targeting Android 14 (API level 34) or lower still need to add `NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_LOCAL_NETWORK` to the `NetworkCapabilities` of the `NetworkRequest` to receive `ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` from local networks.
`ENABLE_STRICT_FORMATTER_VALIDATION` Change ID: 270674727 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, validation of argument index, flags, width, and precision are now more strict when using the `String.format()` and `Formatter.format()` APIs. To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about OpenJDK API changes.
`ENFORCE_EDGE_TO_EDGE` Change ID: 309578419 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, apps will be edge-to-edge by default on devices running Android 15 or higher. To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about Edge-to-edge enforcement.
`ENFORCE_STRICT_QUERY_BUILDER` Change ID: 143231523 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, the `SQLiteQueryBuilder` verifies all `CalendarProvider2` query selections against malicious arguments.
`FGS_BOOT_COMPLETED_RESTRICTIONS` Change ID: 296558535 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, disables foreground service background starts from `BOOT_COMPLETED` broadcasts for all types except: `ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_LOCATION` `ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_CONNECTED_DEVICE` `ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_REMOTE_MESSAGING` `ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_HEALTH` `ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SYSTEM_EXEMPTED` `ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SPECIAL_USE` To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about Restrictions on `BOOT_COMPLETED` broadcast receivers launching foreground services.
`FGS_INTRODUCE_TIME_LIMITS` Change ID: 317799821 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, foreground services of certain types have a time limit. If the foreground service of the offending type is not stopped within the allocated time limit, it will receive a callback using `Service.onTimeout(int, int)` and it must then be stopped within a few seconds. If an app fails to do so, it will be declared an ANR. To learn more about this change, see the sections in the Android 15 behavior changes page about timeout behavior for the data sync and media processing foreground service types.
`FGS_SAW_RESTRICTIONS` Change ID: 319471980 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, disables foreground service background starts in System Alert Window for all types unless it already has a System Overlay Window. To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about Restrictions on starting foreground services while an app holds the `SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` permission.
`FORCE_DISABLE_HEVC_SUPPORT` Change ID: 174227820 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Force disable an app from supporting the HEVC media capability. Apps should declare their supported media capabilities in their manifest but this flag can be used to force an app into not supporting HEVC, hence forcing transcoding while accessing media encoded in HEVC. Setting this flag overrides any OS level defaults for apps. It is disabled by default, meaning that the OS defaults take precedence. If both this flag and `FORCE_ENABLE_HEVC_SUPPORT` are enabled, the OS ignores both flags.
`FORCE_ENABLE_HEVC_SUPPORT` Change ID: 174228127 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Force enable an app to support the HEVC media capability Apps should declare their supported media capabilities in their manifest but this flag can be used to force an app into supporting HEVC, hence avoiding transcoding while accessing media encoded in HEVC. Setting this flag overrides any OS level defaults for apps. It is disabled by default, meaning that the OS defaults would take precedence. If both this flag and `FORCE_DISABLE_HEVC_SUPPORT` are enabled, the OS ignores both flags.
`FORCE_NON_RESIZE_APP` Change ID: 181146395 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Forces the packages it is applied to to be non-resizable.
`FORCE_RESIZE_APP` Change ID: 174042936 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Forces the packages it is applied to to be resizable. We only allow resizing in fullscreen windowing mode, but not forcing the app into resizable multi-windowing mode.
`GWP_ASAN` Change ID: 145634846 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Enables sampled native memory bug detection in apps. To learn more about using GWP-ASan, see the GWP-ASan guide.
`IS_DEVICE_OWNER_USER_AWARE` Change ID: 307233716 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, the `isDeviceOwnerApp(String)` method will use the user contained within the context. For apps targeting Android 14 (API level 34) or lower, the user of the calling process will be used (`Process.myUserHandle()`).
`MANAGE_GLOBAL_ZEN_VIA_IMPLICIT_RULES` Change ID: 308670109 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, apps can no longer change the global state or policy of Do Not Disturb (DND) on a device (either by modifying user settings, or turning off DND mode). Instead, apps must contribute an `AutomaticZenRule`, which the system combines into a global policy with the existing most-restrictive-policy-wins scheme.. To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about Changes to when apps can modify the global state of Do Not Disturb mode.
`NATIVE_HEAP_ZERO_INIT` Change ID: 178038272 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Enable automatic zero-initialization of native heap memory allocations.
`NATIVE_MEMTAG_ASYNC` Change ID: 145772972 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Enable asynchronous (ASYNC) memory tag checking in this process. This flag only affects hardware supporting the ARM Memory Tagging Extension (MTE).
`NATIVE_MEMTAG_SYNC` Change ID: 177438394 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Enables synchronous (SYNC) memory tag checking in this process. This flag only affects hardware supporting the ARM Memory Tagging Extension (MTE). If both `NATIVE_MEMTAG_ASYNC` and this option are enabled, this option takes precedence and MTE is enabled in SYNC mode.
`OVERRIDE_ANY_ORIENTATION` Change ID: 265464455 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, this change allows the following orientation overrides to be applied regardless of the orientation requested by the activity: `OVERRIDE_LANDSCAPE_ORIENTATION_TO_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE` `OVERRIDE_UNDEFINED_ORIENTATION_TO_NOSENSOR` `OVERRIDE_UNDEFINED_ORIENTATION_TO_PORTRAIT`
`OVERRIDE_ANY_ORIENTATION_TO_USER` Change ID: 310816437 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, enables `SCREEN_ORIENTATION_USER`, which overrides any orientation requested by the activity. Fixed orientation apps can be overridden to fullscreen on large screen devices with `ignoreOrientationRequest` enabled with this override.
`OVERRIDE_CAMERA_COMPAT_DISABLE_FREEFORM_WINDOWING_TREATMENT` Change ID: 314961188 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, excludes the packages the override is applied to from the camera compatibility treatment in free-form windowing mode for fixed-orientation apps. In free-form windowing mode, the compatibility treatment emulates running on a portrait device by letterboxing the app window and changing the camera characteristics to what apps commonly expect in a portrait device: 90 and 270 degree sensor rotation for back and front cameras, respectively, and setting display rotation to 0. Use this flag to disable the compatibility treatment for apps that don't respond well to the treatment.
`OVERRIDE_CAMERA_RESIZABLE_AND_SDK_CHECK` Change ID: 191514214 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, this change forces the packages it is applied to ignore the current value of `android:resizeableActivity` as well as target SDK equal to or lower than Android 6.0 (API level 23) and consider the activity as non-resizable. In this case, the value of camera rotate and crop only depends on the needed compensation considering the current display rotation.
`OVERRIDE_CAMERA_ROTATE_AND_CROP_DEFAULTS` Change ID: 189229956 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, this change forces the packages it is applied to override the default camera rotate and crop behavior and always return `CaptureRequest.SCALER_ROTATE_AND_CROP_NONE`.
`OVERRIDE_DISABLE_MEDIA_PROJECTION_SINGLE_APP_OPTION` Change ID: 316897322 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, ensures that users are presented with a choice of capturing a single app or the entire screen when initiating a `MediaProjection` session, overriding the usage of `MediaProjectionConfig#createConfigForDefaultDisplay`.
`OVERRIDE_LANDSCAPE_ORIENTATION_TO_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE` Change ID: 266124927 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Enables `SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE` for the app it's applied to. Unless `OVERRIDE_ANY_ORIENTATION` is also enabled, `SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE` is used only when the activity specifies landscape orientation. Enabling this change can help you test your app behavior for differences between devices where landscape orientation corresponds to `Surface.ROTATION_90` and devices where it corresponds to `Surface.ROTATION_270`.
`OVERRIDE_LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE` Change ID: 332679525 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, overrides the layout in display cutout mode behavior. This will only apply if edge-to-edge is not enforced.
`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO` Change ID: 174042980 Default State: Disabled for all apps. This change is the gatekeeper of all changes that force a given minimum aspect ratio. Enabling this change allows the following minimum aspect ratios to be applied: `OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_LARGE` `OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_MEDIUM` `OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_PORTRAIT_ONLY` When this change is enabled for an app package, the minimum aspect ratio given in the app's manifest is overridden to the largest enabled aspect ratio unless the app's manifest value is higher.
`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_EXCLUDE_PORTRAIT_FULLSCREEN` Change ID: 218959984 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, overrides the minimum aspect ratio restriction in portrait fullscreen in order to use all available screen space.
`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_LARGE` Change ID: 180326787 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When `OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO` is also enabled, enabling this change for a package sets the activity's minimum aspect ratio to a large value as defined by `OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_LARGE_VALUE`.
`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_MEDIUM` Change ID: 180326845 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When `OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO` is also enabled, enabling this change for a package sets the activity's minimum aspect ratio to a medium value as defined by `OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_MEDIUM_VALUE`.
`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_ONLY_FOR_CAMERA` Change ID: 325586858 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, restricts treatments that force a given min aspect ratio to apply so that they only apply when an app is connected to the camera.
`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_PORTRAIT_ONLY` Change ID: 203647190 Default State: Enabled for all apps. When `OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO` is also enabled, this change limits any other changes that force an activity's minimum aspect ratio to a certain value—such as `OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_LARGE` and `OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_MEDIUM`—to activities that also have a portrait orientation.
`OVERRIDE_RESPECT_REQUESTED_ORIENTATION` Change ID: 236283604 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, this change excludes packages that is applied to from the ignore orientation restrictions that device manufacturers can set.
`OVERRIDE_UNDEFINED_ORIENTATION_TO_NOSENSOR` Change ID: 265451093 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Enables `SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR` for the app it's applied to. Unless `OVERRIDE_ANY_ORIENTATION` is also enabled, `SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR` is used only when the activity doesn't specify any other fixed orientation.
`OVERRIDE_UNDEFINED_ORIENTATION_TO_PORTRAIT` Change ID: 265452344 Default State: Disabled for all apps. Enables `SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT` for the app it's applied to. Unless `OVERRIDE_ANY_ORIENTATION` is also enabled, `SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT` is used only when the activity doesn't specify any other fixed orientation.
`PARSE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION_USING_RFC_6266` Change ID: 319400769 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, allows parsing of Content-Disposition headers that conform to RFC 6266. In particular, this enables parsing of `filename*` values that can use a different character encoding.
`RATE_LIMIT_TOASTS` Change ID: 174840628 Default State: This change can't be toggled. It is only logged by the compatibility framework. Enables rate limiting on the number of `Toast.show()` calls to prevent overburdening the user with too many toasts in a limited time. Any attempt to show more toasts than allowed in a certain timeframe results in the toast being discarded.
`STREAM_INT_DIFFERS_FROM_NEXT_INT` Change ID: 308103782 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, the `Random.ints()` methods now return a different sequence of numbers than the `Random.nextInt()` methods do. This follows from the changes in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301574. To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about OpenJDK API changes.
`USE_EXPERIMENTAL_COMPONENT_ALIAS` Change ID: 196254758 Default State: Disabled for all apps. When enabled, the system allows the "android" package to use component aliases.
`USE_NEW_ISO_LOCALE_CODES` Change ID: 291868760 Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. When enabled, language codes for Hebrew, Yiddish, and Indonesian are no longer converted to their obsolete forms (Hebrew: `iw`, Yiddish: `ji`, and Indonesian: `in`). To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about OpenJDK API changes.

`CAMERA_MIC_INDICATORS_NOT_PRESENT`

Change ID: 162547999
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

Indicates that this device supports camera and microphone indicators. The value is false if present, because the CompatChanges#isChangeEnabled method returns true if the Change ID is not present.

`CHECK_PARAMS_IN_IS_SESSION_CONFIGURATION_SUPPORTED`

Change ID: 320741775
Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.

When enabled, isSessionConfigurationSupported also checks for compatibility of session parameters when supported by the HAL.

`DEFAULT_RESCIND_BAL_PRIVILEGES_FROM_PENDING_INTENT_CREATOR`

Change ID: 296478951
Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.

When enabled, the creator of a PendingIntent blocks background activity launches by default.

To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about Secured background activity launches.

`DEPRECATE_UI_FONT`

Change ID: 279646685
Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.

When enabled, the elegantTextHeight TextView attribute becomes true by default when your app is running on a device with Android 15 or higher, replacing the compact font used by default with some scripts that have large vertical metrics with one that is much more readable.

To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about elegantTextHeight attribute defaults to true.

`DOWNSCALED`

Change ID: 168419799
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

This change is the gatekeeper of all per-app buffer downscaling changes. Enabling this change allows the following scaling factors to be applied:

DOWNSCALE_30
DOWNSCALE_35
DOWNSCALE_40
DOWNSCALE_45
DOWNSCALE_50
DOWNSCALE_55
DOWNSCALE_60
DOWNSCALE_65
DOWNSCALE_70
DOWNSCALE_75
DOWNSCALE_80
DOWNSCALE_85
DOWNSCALE_90

When this change is enabled for an app package, the app is forcibly resized to the highest, enabled scaling factor. For example, 80% is used if both 80% and 70% (DOWNSCALE_80 and DOWNSCALE_70) are enabled. When both this change and DOWNSCALED_INVERSE are enabled, DOWNSCALED_INVERSE takes precedence and the scaling factor is applied inversely.

`DOWNSCALED_INVERSE`

Change ID: 273564678
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

This change is the gatekeeper of all per-app buffer inverse downscaling changes. Enabling this change allows the following scaling factors to be inversely applied (that is, the resolution is upscaled instead):

DOWNSCALE_30
DOWNSCALE_35
DOWNSCALE_40
DOWNSCALE_45
DOWNSCALE_50
DOWNSCALE_55
DOWNSCALE_60
DOWNSCALE_65
DOWNSCALE_70
DOWNSCALE_75
DOWNSCALE_80
DOWNSCALE_85
DOWNSCALE_90

When this change is enabled for an app package, the app is forcibly resized to the lowest, enabled scaling factor. For example, 80% is used if both 80% and 70% (DOWNSCALE_80 and DOWNSCALE_70) are enabled because when inversely applied, an 80% scaling factor equals 125%, which is less than the 142.86% scaling that is applied when inversely applying a 70% scaling factor. When both this change and DOWNSCALED are enabled, DOWNSCALED_INVERSE takes precedence and the scaling factor is applied inversely.

`DOWNSCALE_30`

`DO_NOT_CLONE_IN_ARRAYS_AS_LIST`

Change ID: 202956589
Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.

When enabled, when using Arrays.asList(...).toArray(), the component type of the resulting array is now an Object—not the type of the underlying array's elements. So the following code throws a ClassCastException:

String[] elements = (String[]) Arrays.asList("one", "two").toArray();

For this case, to preserve String as the component type in the resulting array, you could use Collection.toArray(Object[]) instead:

String[] elements = Arrays.asList("two", "one").toArray(new String[0]);

When enabled, to prevent any existing apps from having app compatibility issues with non-SDK usages of ClientTransaction#getActivityToken(), only allow bundling LaunchActivityItem.

`ENABLE_MATCH_LOCAL_NETWORK`

Change ID: 319212206
Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.

When enabled, apps receive network callbacks from local networks by default. Apps targeting Android 14 (API level 34) or lower still need to add NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_LOCAL_NETWORK to the NetworkCapabilities of the NetworkRequest to receive ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback from local networks.

`ENABLE_STRICT_FORMATTER_VALIDATION`

Change ID: 270674727

`FGS_INTRODUCE_TIME_LIMITS`

Change ID: 317799821
Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.

When enabled, foreground services of certain types have a time limit. If the foreground service of the offending type is not stopped within the allocated time limit, it will receive a callback using Service.onTimeout(int, int) and it must then be stopped within a few seconds. If an app fails to do so, it will be declared an ANR.

To learn more about this change, see the sections in the Android 15 behavior changes page about timeout behavior for the data sync and media processing foreground service types.

`FORCE_DISABLE_HEVC_SUPPORT`

Change ID: 174227820
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

Force disable an app from supporting the HEVC media capability. Apps should declare their supported media capabilities in their manifest but this flag can be used to force an app into not supporting HEVC, hence forcing transcoding while accessing media encoded in HEVC. Setting this flag overrides any OS level defaults for apps. It is disabled by default, meaning that the OS defaults take precedence. If both this flag and FORCE_ENABLE_HEVC_SUPPORT are enabled, the OS ignores both flags.

`FORCE_ENABLE_HEVC_SUPPORT`

Change ID: 174228127
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

Force enable an app to support the HEVC media capability Apps should declare their supported media capabilities in their manifest but this flag can be used to force an app into supporting HEVC, hence avoiding transcoding while accessing media encoded in HEVC. Setting this flag overrides any OS level defaults for apps. It is disabled by default, meaning that the OS defaults would take precedence. If both this flag and FORCE_DISABLE_HEVC_SUPPORT are enabled, the OS ignores both flags.

`FORCE_NON_RESIZE_APP`

Change ID: 181146395
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

Forces the packages it is applied to to be non-resizable.

`FORCE_RESIZE_APP`

Change ID: 174042936

`MANAGE_GLOBAL_ZEN_VIA_IMPLICIT_RULES`

Change ID: 308670109
Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.

When enabled, apps can no longer change the global state or policy of Do Not Disturb (DND) on a device (either by modifying user settings, or turning off DND mode). Instead, apps must contribute an AutomaticZenRule, which the system combines into a global policy with the existing most-restrictive-policy-wins scheme..

To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about Changes to when apps can modify the global state of Do Not Disturb mode.

`NATIVE_HEAP_ZERO_INIT`

Change ID: 178038272
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

`NATIVE_MEMTAG_SYNC`

Change ID: 177438394
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

Enables synchronous (SYNC) memory tag checking in this process. This flag only affects hardware supporting the ARM Memory Tagging Extension (MTE). If both NATIVE_MEMTAG_ASYNC and this option are enabled, this option takes precedence and MTE is enabled in SYNC mode.

`OVERRIDE_ANY_ORIENTATION`

Change ID: 265464455
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When enabled, this change allows the following orientation overrides to be applied regardless of the orientation requested by the activity:

OVERRIDE_LANDSCAPE_ORIENTATION_TO_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE
OVERRIDE_UNDEFINED_ORIENTATION_TO_NOSENSOR
OVERRIDE_UNDEFINED_ORIENTATION_TO_PORTRAIT

`OVERRIDE_ANY_ORIENTATION_TO_USER`

Change ID: 310816437
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When enabled, enables SCREEN_ORIENTATION_USER, which overrides any orientation requested by the activity. Fixed orientation apps can be overridden to fullscreen on large screen devices with ignoreOrientationRequest enabled with this override.

`OVERRIDE_CAMERA_COMPAT_DISABLE_FREEFORM_WINDOWING_TREATMENT`

Change ID: 314961188
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When enabled, excludes the packages the override is applied to from the camera compatibility treatment in free-form windowing mode for fixed-orientation apps.

In free-form windowing mode, the compatibility treatment emulates running on a portrait device by letterboxing the app window and changing the camera characteristics to what apps commonly expect in a portrait device: 90 and 270 degree sensor rotation for back and front cameras, respectively, and setting display rotation to 0.

Use this flag to disable the compatibility treatment for apps that don't respond well to the treatment.

`OVERRIDE_CAMERA_RESIZABLE_AND_SDK_CHECK`

Change ID: 191514214
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When enabled, this change forces the packages it is applied to ignore the current value of android:resizeableActivity as well as target SDK equal to or lower than Android 6.0 (API level 23) and consider the activity as non-resizable. In this case, the value of camera rotate and crop only depends on the needed compensation considering the current display rotation.

`OVERRIDE_CAMERA_ROTATE_AND_CROP_DEFAULTS`

Change ID: 189229956
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When enabled, this change forces the packages it is applied to override the default camera rotate and crop behavior and always return CaptureRequest.SCALER_ROTATE_AND_CROP_NONE.

`OVERRIDE_DISABLE_MEDIA_PROJECTION_SINGLE_APP_OPTION`

Change ID: 316897322
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When enabled, ensures that users are presented with a choice of capturing a single app or the entire screen when initiating a MediaProjection session, overriding the usage of MediaProjectionConfig#createConfigForDefaultDisplay.

`OVERRIDE_LANDSCAPE_ORIENTATION_TO_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE`

Change ID: 266124927
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

Enables SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE for the app it's applied to. Unless OVERRIDE_ANY_ORIENTATION is also enabled, SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE is used only when the activity specifies landscape orientation. Enabling this change can help you test your app behavior for differences between devices where landscape orientation corresponds to Surface.ROTATION_90 and devices where it corresponds to Surface.ROTATION_270.

`OVERRIDE_LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE`

Change ID: 332679525
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When enabled, overrides the layout in display cutout mode behavior. This will only apply if edge-to-edge is not enforced.

`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO`

Change ID: 174042980
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

This change is the gatekeeper of all changes that force a given minimum aspect ratio. Enabling this change allows the following minimum aspect ratios to be applied:

OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_LARGE
OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_MEDIUM
OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_PORTRAIT_ONLY

When this change is enabled for an app package, the minimum aspect ratio given in the app's manifest is overridden to the largest enabled aspect ratio unless the app's manifest value is higher.

`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_EXCLUDE_PORTRAIT_FULLSCREEN`

Change ID: 218959984
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When enabled, overrides the minimum aspect ratio restriction in portrait fullscreen in order to use all available screen space.

`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_LARGE`

Change ID: 180326787
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO is also enabled, enabling this change for a package sets the activity's minimum aspect ratio to a large value as defined by OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_LARGE_VALUE.

`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_MEDIUM`

Change ID: 180326845
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO is also enabled, enabling this change for a package sets the activity's minimum aspect ratio to a medium value as defined by OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_MEDIUM_VALUE.

`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_ONLY_FOR_CAMERA`

Change ID: 325586858
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When enabled, restricts treatments that force a given min aspect ratio to apply so that they only apply when an app is connected to the camera.

`OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_PORTRAIT_ONLY`

Change ID: 203647190
Default State: Enabled for all apps.

When OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO is also enabled, this change limits any other changes that force an activity's minimum aspect ratio to a certain value—such as OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_LARGE and OVERRIDE_MIN_ASPECT_RATIO_MEDIUM—to activities that also have a portrait orientation.

`OVERRIDE_RESPECT_REQUESTED_ORIENTATION`

Change ID: 236283604
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

When enabled, this change excludes packages that is applied to from the ignore orientation restrictions that device manufacturers can set.

`OVERRIDE_UNDEFINED_ORIENTATION_TO_NOSENSOR`

Change ID: 265451093
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

Enables SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR for the app it's applied to. Unless OVERRIDE_ANY_ORIENTATION is also enabled, SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR is used only when the activity doesn't specify any other fixed orientation.

`OVERRIDE_UNDEFINED_ORIENTATION_TO_PORTRAIT`

Change ID: 265452344
Default State: Disabled for all apps.

Enables SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT for the app it's applied to. Unless OVERRIDE_ANY_ORIENTATION is also enabled, SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT is used only when the activity doesn't specify any other fixed orientation.

`PARSE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION_USING_RFC_6266`

Change ID: 319400769
Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.

When enabled, allows parsing of Content-Disposition headers that conform to RFC 6266. In particular, this enables parsing of filename* values that can use a different character encoding.

`RATE_LIMIT_TOASTS`

Change ID: 174840628
Default State: This change can't be toggled. It is only logged by the compatibility framework.

Enables rate limiting on the number of Toast.show() calls to prevent overburdening the user with too many toasts in a limited time. Any attempt to show more toasts than allowed in a certain timeframe results in the toast being discarded.

`STREAM_INT_DIFFERS_FROM_NEXT_INT`

Change ID: 308103782
Default State: Enabled for apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.

When enabled, the Random.ints() methods now return a different sequence of numbers than the Random.nextInt() methods do. This follows from the changes in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301574.

To learn more about this change, see the section in the Android 15 behavior changes page about OpenJDK API changes.
