Mudanças de comportamento: todos os apps

A plataforma Android 16 inclui mudanças de comportamento que podem afetar seu app. As mudanças de comportamento a seguir se aplicam a todos os apps quando executados no Android 16, independente da targetSdkVersion. Teste o app e modifique-o conforme necessário para oferecer suporte a essas mudanças, quando aplicável.

Consulte também a lista de mudanças de comportamento que afetam apenas os apps destinados ao Android 16.

Principal recurso

O Android 16 inclui as seguintes mudanças que modificam ou expandem vários recursos principais do sistema Android.

Otimizações de cota do JobScheduler

Starting in Android 16, we're adjusting regular and expedited job execution runtime quota based on the following factors:

  • Which app standby bucket the application is in: in Android 16, active standby buckets will start being enforced by a generous runtime quota.
  • If the job starts execution while the app is in a top state: in Android 16, Jobs started while the app is visible to the user and continues after the app becomes invisible, will adhere to the job runtime quota.
  • If the job is executing while running a Foreground Service: in Android 16, jobs that are executing while concurrently with a foreground service will adhere to the job runtime quota. If you're leveraging jobs for user initiated data transfer, consider using user initiated data transfer jobs instead.

This change impacts tasks scheduled using WorkManager, JobScheduler, and DownloadManager. To debug why a job was stopped, we recommend logging why your job was stopped by calling WorkInfo.getStopReason() (for JobScheduler jobs, call JobParameters.getStopReason()).

For more information on battery-optimal best practices, refer to guidance on optimize battery use for task scheduling APIs.

We also recommend leveraging the new JobScheduler#getPendingJobReasonsHistory API introduced in Android 16 to understand why a job has not executed.

Testing

To test your app's behavior, you can enable override of certain job quota optimizations as long as the app is running on an Android 16 device.

To disable enforcement of "top state will adhere to job runtime quota", run the following adb command:

adb shell am compat enable OVERRIDE_QUOTA_ENFORCEMENT_TO_TOP_STARTED_JOBS APP_PACKAGE_NAME

To disable enforcement of "jobs that are executing while concurrently with a foreground service will adhere to the job runtime quota", run the following adb command:

adb shell am compat enable OVERRIDE_QUOTA_ENFORCEMENT_TO_FGS_JOBS APP_PACKAGE_NAME

To test certain app standby bucket behavior, you can set the app standby bucket of your app using the following adb command:

adb shell am set-standby-bucket APP_PACKAGE_NAME active|working_set|frequent|rare|restricted

To understand the app standby bucket your app is in, you can get the app standby bucket of your app using the following adb command:

adb shell am get-standby-bucket APP_PACKAGE_NAME

Suspensão total de JobInfo#setImportantWhileForeground

O método JobInfo.Builder#setImportantWhileForeground(boolean) indica a importância de um job enquanto o app de programação está em primeiro plano ou quando é temporariamente isento de restrições em segundo plano.

Esse método foi descontinuado a partir do Android 12 (nível 31 da API). A partir do Android 16, ele não funciona mais de forma eficaz, e a chamada desse método será ignorada.

Essa remoção de funcionalidade também se aplica a JobInfo#isImportantWhileForeground(). A partir do Android 16, se o método for chamado, ele retornará false.

Experiência do usuário e interface do sistema

O Android 16 inclui as seguintes mudanças, que têm como objetivo criar uma experiência do usuário mais consistente e intuitiva.

Descontinuação dos avisos de acessibilidade que causam interrupção

Android 16 deprecates accessibility announcements, characterized by the use of announceForAccessibility or the dispatch of TYPE_ANNOUNCEMENT accessibility events. These can create inconsistent user experiences for users of TalkBack and Android's screen reader, and alternatives better serve a broader range of user needs across a variety of Android's assistive technologies.

Examples of alternatives:

The reference documentation for the deprecated announceForAccessibility API includes more details about suggested alternatives.
