Funzionalità e API

Android 16 introduce nuove fantastiche funzionalità e API per gli sviluppatori. Le sezioni seguenti riepilogano queste funzionalità per aiutarti a iniziare a utilizzare le API correlate.

Devi anche esaminare le aree in cui le modifiche alla piattaforma potrebbero influire sulle tue app. Per maggiori informazioni, consulta le seguenti pagine:

• Modifiche al comportamento che interessano le app quando hanno come target Android 16
• Modifiche al comportamento che interessano tutte le app indipendentemente da targetSdkVersion.

Funzionalità di base

Android include nuove API che espandono le funzionalità di base del sistema Android.

Due release dell'API Android nel 2025

• This preview is for the next major release of Android with a planned launch in Q2 of 2025. This release is similar to all of our API releases in the past, where we can have planned behavior changes that are often tied to a targetSdkVersion.
• We're planning the major release a quarter earlier (Q2 rather than Q3 in prior years) to better align with the schedule of device launches across our ecosystem, so more devices can get the major release of Android sooner. With the major release coming in Q2, you'll need to do your annual compatibility testing a few months earlier than in previous years to make sure your apps are ready.
• We plan to have another release in Q4 of 2025 which also will include new developer APIs. The Q2 major release will be the only release in 2025 to include planned behavior changes that could affect apps.

In addition to new developer APIs, the Q4 minor release will pick up feature updates, optimizations, and bug fixes; it will not include any app-impacting behavior changes.

We'll continue to have quarterly Android releases. The Q1 and Q3 updates in-between the API releases will provide incremental updates to help ensure continuous quality. We're actively working with our device partners to bring the Q2 release to as many devices as possible.

Using new APIs with major and minor releases

Guarding a code block with a check for API level is done today using the SDK_INT constant with VERSION_CODES. This will continue to be supported for major Android releases.

if (SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.BAKLAVA) {
  // Use APIs introduced in Android 16
}

The new SDK_INT_FULL constant can be used for API checks against both major and minor versions with the new VERSION_CODES_FULL enumeration.

if (SDK_INT_FULL >= VERSION_CODES_FULL.[MAJOR or MINOR RELEASE]) {
  // Use APIs introduced in a major or minor release
}

You can also use the Build.getMinorSdkVersion() method to get just the minor SDK version.

val minorSdkVersion = Build.getMinorSdkVersion(VERSION_CODES_FULL.BAKLAVA)

These APIs have not yet been finalized and are subject to change, so please send us feedback if you have any concerns.

Esperienza utente e UI di sistema

Android 16 offre a sviluppatori di app e utenti maggiore controllo e flessibilità per configurare il dispositivo in base alle proprie esigenze.

Notifiche incentrate sui progressi

Android 16 introduce notifiche incentrate sul progresso per aiutare gli utenti a monitorare senza problemi i percorsi end-to-end avviati dall'utente.

Notification.ProgressStyle è un nuovo stile di notifica che consente di creare notifiche incentrate sull'avanzamento. I casi d'uso principali includono condivisione di corse, consegna e navigazione. All'interno della classe Notification.ProgressStyle, puoi indicare gli stati e i traguardi di un percorso dell'utente utilizzando punti e segmenti.

To learn more, see the Progress-centric notifications documentation page.

Aggiornamenti di Indietro predittivo

Android 16 adds new APIs to help you enable predictive back system animations in gesture navigation such as the back-to-home animation. Registering the onBackInvokedCallback with the new PRIORITY_SYSTEM_NAVIGATION_OBSERVER allows your app to receive the regular onBackInvoked call whenever the system handles a back navigation without impacting the normal back navigation flow.

Android 16 additionally adds the finishAndRemoveTaskCallback() and moveTaskToBackCallback. By registering these callbacks with the OnBackInvokedDispatcher, the system can trigger specific behaviors and play corresponding ahead-of-time animations when the back gesture is invoked.

Feedback aptico più ricco

Android has exposed control over the haptic actuator ever since its inception.

Android 11 added support for more complex haptic effects that more advanced actuators could support through VibrationEffect.Compositions of device-defined semantic primitives.

Android 16 adds haptic APIs that let apps define the amplitude and frequency curves of a haptic effect while abstracting away differences between device capabilities.

Produttività e strumenti per gli sviluppatori

La maggior parte del nostro lavoro per migliorare la tua produttività si concentra su strumenti come Android Studio, Jetpack Compose e le librerie Android Jetpack, ma cerchiamo sempre modi nella piattaforma per aiutarti a realizzare la tua visione.

Gestione dei contenuti per gli sfondi animati

In Android 16, il framework degli sfondi animati acquisirà una nuova API per i contenuti per rispondere alle sfide degli sfondi dinamici basati sugli utenti. Al momento, gli sfondi animati che incorporano contenuti forniti dagli utenti richiedono implementazioni complesse e specifiche per i servizi. Android 16 introduce WallpaperDescription e WallpaperInstance. WallpaperDescription consente di identificare istanze distinte di uno sfondo animato dello stesso servizio. Ad esempio, uno sfondo che ha istanze sia nella schermata Home sia nella schermata di blocco può avere contenuti unici in entrambe le posizioni. Il selettore di sfondi e WallpaperManager utilizzano questi metadati per presentare meglio gli sfondi agli utenti, semplificando la procedura per creare esperienze diverse e personalizzate con gli sfondi animati.

Prestazioni e batteria

Android 16 introduce API che aiutano a raccogliere informazioni sulle tue app.

Profilazione attivata dal sistema

ProfilingManager was added in Android 15, giving apps the ability to request profiling data collection using Perfetto on public devices in the field. However, since this profiling must be started from the app, critical flows such as startups or ANRs would be difficult or impossible for apps to capture.

To help with this, Android 16 introduces system-triggered profiling to ProfilingManager. Apps can register interest in receiving traces for certain triggers such as cold start reportFullyDrawn or ANRs, and then the system starts and stops a trace on the app's behalf. After the trace completes, the results are delivered to the app's data directory.

Avvia componente in ApplicationStartInfo

ApplicationStartInfo was added in Android 15, allowing an app to see reasons for process start, start type, start times, throttling, and other useful diagnostic data. Android 16 adds getStartComponent() to distinguish what component type triggered the start, which can be helpful for optimizing the startup flow of your app.

Migliore introspezione dei job

The JobScheduler#getPendingJobReason() API returns a reason why a job might be pending. However, a job might be pending for multiple reasons.

In Android 16, we are introducing a new API JobScheduler#getPendingJobReasons(int jobId), which returns multiple reasons why a job is pending, due to both explicit constraints set by the developer and implicit constraints set by the system.

We're also introducing JobScheduler#getPendingJobReasonsHistory(int jobId), which returns a list of the most recent constraint changes.

We recommend using the API to help you debug why your jobs may not be executing, especially if you're seeing reduced success rates of certain tasks or have bugs around latency of certain job completion. For example, updating widgets in the background failed to occur or prefetch job failed to be called prior to app start.

This can also better help you understand if certain jobs are not completing due to system defined constraints versus explicitly set constraints.

Frequenza di aggiornamento adattiva

Adaptive refresh rate (ARR), introduced in Android 15, enables the display refresh rate on supported hardware to adapt to the content frame rate using discrete VSync steps. This reduces power consumption while eliminating the need for potentially jank-inducing mode-switching.

Android 16 introduces hasArrSupport() and getSuggestedFrameRate(int) while restoring getSupportedRefreshRates() to make it easier for your apps to take advantage of ARR. RecyclerView 1.4 internally supports ARR when it is settling from a fling or smooth scroll, and we're continuing our work to add ARR support into more Jetpack libraries. This frame rate article covers many of the APIs you can use to set the frame rate so that your app can directly use ARR.

API Headroom in ADPF

The SystemHealthManager introduces the getCpuHeadroom and getGpuHeadroom APIs, designed to provide games and resource-intensive apps with estimates of available CPU and GPU resources. These methods offer a way for you to gauge how your app or game can best improve system health, particularly when used in conjunction with other Android Dynamic Performance Framework (ADPF) APIs that detect thermal throttling.

By using CpuHeadroomParams and GpuHeadroomParams on supported devices, you can customize the time window used to compute the headroom and select between average or minimum resource availability. This can help you reduce your CPU or GPU resource usage accordingly, leading to better user experiences and improved battery life.

Accessibilità

Android 16 aggiunge nuove API e funzionalità di accessibilità che possono aiutarti a rendere la tua app disponibile per tutti gli utenti.

API di accessibilità migliorate

Android 16 adds additional APIs to enhance UI semantics that help improve consistency for users that rely on accessibility services, such as TalkBack.

Outline text for maximum text contrast

Users with low vision often have reduced contrast sensitivity, making it challenging to distinguish objects from their backgrounds. To help these users, Android 16 introduces outline text, replacing high contrast text, which draws a larger contrasting area around text to greatly improve legibility.

Android 16 contains new AccessibilityManager APIs to let your apps check or register a listener to see if this mode is enabled. This is primarily for UI Toolkits like Compose to offer a similar visual experience. If you maintain a UI Toolkit library or your app performs custom text rendering that bypasses the android.text.Layout class then you can use this to know when outline text is enabled.

Duration added to TtsSpan

Android 16 extends TtsSpan with a TYPE_DURATION, consisting of ARG_HOURS, ARG_MINUTES, and ARG_SECONDS. This lets you directly annotate time duration, ensuring accurate and consistent text-to-speech output with services like TalkBack.

Support elements with multiple labels

Android currently allows UI elements to derive their accessibility label from another, and now offers the ability for multiple labels to be associated, a common scenario in web content. By introducing a list-based API within AccessibilityNodeInfo, Android can directly support these multi-label relationships. As part of this change, we've deprecated AccessibilityNodeInfo#setLabeledBy and #getLabeledBy in favor of #addLabeledBy, #removeLabeledBy, and #getLabeledByList.

Improved support for expandable elements

Android 16 adds accessibility APIs that allow you to convey the expanded or collapsed state of interactive elements, such as menus and expandable lists. By setting the expanded state using setExpandedState and dispatching TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED AccessibilityEvents with a CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_EXPANDED content change type, you can ensure that screen readers like TalkBack announce state changes, providing a more intuitive and inclusive user experience.

Indeterminate ProgressBars

Android 16 adds RANGE_TYPE_INDETERMINATE, giving a way for you to expose RangeInfo for both determinate and indeterminate ProgressBar widgets, allowing services like TalkBack to more consistently provide feedback for progress indicators.

Tri-state CheckBox

The new AccessibilityNodeInfo getChecked and setChecked(int) methods in Android 16 now support a "partially checked" state in addition to "checked" and "unchecked." This replaces the deprecated boolean isChecked and setChecked(boolean).

Supplemental descriptions

When an accessibility service describes a ViewGroup, it combines content labels from its child views. If you provide a contentDescription for the ViewGroup, accessibility services assume you are also overriding the description of non-focusable child views. This can be problematic if you want to label things like a drop-down (for example, "Font Family") while preserving the current selection for accessibility (for example, "Roboto"). Android 16 adds setSupplementalDescription so you can provide text that provides information about a ViewGroup without overriding information from its children.

Required form fields

Android 16 adds setFieldRequired to AccessibilityNodeInfo so apps can tell an accessibility service that input to a form field is required. This is an important scenario for users filling out many types of forms, even things as simple as a required terms and conditions checkbox, helping users to consistently identify and quickly navigate between required fields.

Smartphone come input del microfono per le chiamate vocali con apparecchi acustici LEA

Android 16 consente agli utenti di apparecchi acustici LE Audio di passare tra i microfoni integrati sugli apparecchi acustici e il microfono sullo smartphone per le chiamate vocali. Questa opzione può essere utile in ambienti rumorosi o in altre situazioni in cui i microfoni dell'apparecchio acustico potrebbero non funzionare bene.

Controlli del volume ambientale per apparecchi acustici LEA

Android 16 adds the capability for users of LE Audio hearing aids to adjust the volume of ambient sound that is picked up by the hearing aid's microphones. This can be helpful in situations where background noise is too loud or too quiet.

Fotocamera

Android 16 migliora il supporto per gli utenti di fotocamere professionali, consentendo l'esposizione automatica ibrida insieme a regolazioni precise di tinta e temperatura di colore. Un nuovo indicatore della modalità notturna aiuta l'app a sapere quando passare a una sessione della fotocamera in modalità notturna e viceversa. Le nuove azioni Intent semplificano l'acquisizione di foto in movimento e continuiamo a migliorare le immagini Ultra HDR con il supporto della codifica HEIC e di nuovi parametri dello standard ISO 21496-1.

Esposizione automatica ibrida

Android 16 aggiunge nuove modalità di esposizione automatica ibrida a Camera2, consentendo di controllare manualmente aspetti specifici dell'esposizione lasciando che sia l'algoritmo di esposizione automatica (AE) a gestire il resto. Puoi controllare ISO + AE e tempo di esposizione + AE, offrendo una maggiore flessibilità rispetto all'approccio attuale in cui hai il controllo manuale completo o ti basi interamente sull'esposizione automatica.

fun setISOPriority() {
    // ... (Your existing code before the snippet) ...

    val availablePriorityModes = mStaticInfo.characteristics.get(
        CameraCharacteristics.CONTROL_AE_AVAILABLE_PRIORITY_MODES
    )

    // ... (Your existing code between the snippets) ...

    // Turn on AE mode to set priority mode
    reqBuilder.set(
        CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE,
        CameraMetadata.CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON
    )
    reqBuilder.set(
        CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_PRIORITY_MODE,
        CameraMetadata.CONTROL_AE_PRIORITY_MODE_SENSOR_SENSITIVITY_PRIORITY
    )
    reqBuilder.set(
        CaptureRequest.SENSOR_SENSITIVITY,
        TEST_SENSITIVITY_VALUE
    )
    val request: CaptureRequest = reqBuilder.build()

    // ... (Your existing code after the snippet) ...
}

Regolazioni precise di tinta e temperatura di colore

Android 16 adds camera support for fine color temperature and tint adjustments to better support professional video recording applications. In previous Android versions, you could control white balance settings through CONTROL_AWB_MODE, which contains options limited to a preset list, such as Incandescent, Cloudy, and Twilight. The COLOR_CORRECTION_MODE_CCT enables the use of COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TEMPERATURE and COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TINT for precise adjustments of white balance based on the correlated color temperature.

fun setCCT() {
    // ... (Your existing code before this point) ...

    val colorTemperatureRange: Range<Int> =
        mStaticInfo.characteristics[CameraCharacteristics.COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TEMPERATURE_RANGE]

    // Set to manual mode to enable CCT mode
    reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AWB_MODE] = CameraMetadata.CONTROL_AWB_MODE_OFF
    reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.COLOR_CORRECTION_MODE] = CameraMetadata.COLOR_CORRECTION_MODE_CCT
    reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TEMPERATURE] = 5000
    reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TINT] = 30

    val request: CaptureRequest = reqBuilder.build()

    // ... (Your existing code after this point) ...
}

The following examples show how a photo would look after applying different color temperature and tint adjustments:

Rilevamento della scena in modalità notturna della fotocamera

To help your app know when to switch to and from a night mode camera session, Android 16 adds EXTENSION_NIGHT_MODE_INDICATOR. If supported, it's available in the CaptureResult within Camera2.

This is the API we briefly mentioned as coming soon in the How Instagram enabled users to take stunning low light photos blog post. That post is a practical guide on how to implement night mode together with a case study that links higher-quality in-app night mode photos with an increase in the number of photos shared from the in-app camera.

Azioni intent di acquisizione di foto in movimento

Android 16 adds standard Intent actions — ACTION_MOTION_PHOTO_CAPTURE, and ACTION_MOTION_PHOTO_CAPTURE_SECURE — which request that the camera application capture a motion photo and return it.

You must either pass an extra EXTRA_OUTPUT to control where the image will be written, or a Uri through Intent.setClipData(ClipData). If you don't set a ClipData, it will be copied there for you when calling Context.startActivity(Intent).

Miglioramenti delle immagini UltraHDR

Android 16 continues our work to deliver dazzling image quality with UltraHDR images. It adds support for UltraHDR images in the HEIC file format. These images will get ImageFormat type HEIC_ULTRAHDR and will contain an embedded gainmap similar to the existing UltraHDR JPEG format. We're working on AVIF support for UltraHDR as well, so stay tuned.

In addition, Android 16 implements additional parameters in UltraHDR from the ISO 21496-1 draft standard, including the ability to get and set the colorspace that gainmap math should be applied in, as well as support for HDR encoded base images with SDR gainmaps.

Grafica

Android 16 include i più recenti miglioramenti grafici, come gli effetti grafici personalizzati con AGSL.

Effetti grafici personalizzati con AGSL

Android 16 aggiunge RuntimeColorFilter e RuntimeXfermode, che ti consentono di creare effetti complessi come Soglia, Seppia e Saturazione tonalità e applicarli alle chiamate di disegno. Da Android 13, puoi utilizzare AGSL per creare personalizzati RuntimeShaders che estendono Shader. La nuova API riflette questo approccio, aggiungendo un RuntimeColorFilter basato su AGSL che estende ColorFilter e un effetto Xfermode che consente di implementare il compositing e l'unione personalizzati basati su AGSL tra i pixel di origine e di destinazione.

private val thresholdEffectString = """
    uniform half threshold;

    half4 main(half4 c) {
        half luminosity = dot(c.rgb, half3(0.2126, 0.7152, 0.0722));
        half bw = step(threshold, luminosity);
        return bw.xxx1 * c.a;
    }"""

fun setCustomColorFilter(paint: Paint) {
   val filter = RuntimeColorFilter(thresholdEffectString)
   filter.setFloatUniform(0.5);
   paint.colorFilter = filter
}

Connettività

Android 16 aggiorna la piattaforma per consentire alla tua app di accedere agli ultimi progressi nelle tecnologie di comunicazione e wireless.

Rilevamento con sicurezza avanzata

Android 16 adds support for robust security features in Wi-Fi location on supported devices with Wi-Fi 6's 802.11az, allowing apps to combine the higher accuracy, greater scalability, and dynamic scheduling of the protocol with security enhancements including AES-256-based encryption and protection against MITM attacks. This allows it to be used more safely in proximity use cases, such as unlocking a laptop or a vehicle door. 802.11az is integrated with the Wi-Fi 6 standard, leveraging its infrastructure and capabilities for wider adoption and easier deployment.

API di misurazione generiche

Android 16 includes the new RangingManager, which provides ways to determine the distance and angle on supported hardware between the local device and a remote device. RangingManager supports the usage of a variety of ranging technologies such as BLE channel sounding, BLE RSSI-based ranging, Ultra Wideband, and Wi-Fi round trip time.

Presenza del dispositivo Gestione dispositivi companion

In Android 16, new APIs are being introduced for binding your companion app service. Service will be bound when BLE is in range and Bluetooth is connected and service will be unbound when BLE is out of range or Bluetooth is disconnected. App will receives a new 'onDevicePresenceEvent()' callback based on various of DevicePresenceEvent. More details can be found in 'startObservingDevicePresence(ObservingDevicePresenceRequest)'.

Media

Android 16 include una serie di funzionalità che migliorano l'esperienza multimediale.

Miglioramenti al selettore di foto

The photo picker provides a safe, built-in way for users to grant your app access to selected images and videos from both local and cloud storage, instead of their entire media library. Using a combination of Modular System Components through Google System Updates and Google Play services, it's supported back to Android 4.4 (API level 19). Integration requires just a few lines of code with the associated Android Jetpack library.

Android 16 includes the following improvements to the photo picker:

• Embedded photo picker: New APIs that enable apps to embed the photo picker into their view hierarchy. This allows it to feel like a more integrated part of the app while still leveraging the process isolation that allows users to select media without the app needing overly broad permissions. To maximize compatibility across platform versions and simplify your integration, you'll want to use the forthcoming Android Jetpack library if you want to integrate the embedded photo picker.
• Cloud search in photo picker: New APIs that enable searching from the cloud media provider for the Android photo picker. Search functionality in the photo picker is coming soon.

Video professionale avanzato

Android 16 introduces support for the Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec which is designed to be used for professional level high quality video recording and post production.

The APV codec standard has the following features:

• Perceptually lossless video quality (close to raw video quality)
• Low complexity and high throughput intra-frame-only coding (without pixel domain prediction) to better support editing workflows
• Support for high bit-rate range up to a few Gbps for 2K, 4K and 8K resolution content, enabled by a lightweight entropy coding scheme
• Frame tiling for immersive content and for enabling parallel encoding and decoding
• Support for various chroma sampling formats and bit-depths
• Support for multiple decoding and re-encoding without severe visual quality degradation
• Support multi-view video and auxiliary video like depth, alpha, and preview
• Support for HDR10/10+ and user-defined metadata

A reference implementation of APV is provided through the OpenAPV project. Android 16 will implement support for the APV 422-10 Profile that provides YUV 422 color sampling along with 10-bit encoding and for target bitrates of up to 2Gbps.

Privacy

Android 16 include una serie di funzionalità che aiutano gli sviluppatori di app a proteggere la privacy degli utenti.

Aggiornamenti di Connessione Salute

Health Connect adds ACTIVITY_INTENSITY, a data type defined according to World Health Organization guidelines around moderate and vigorous activity. Each record requires the start time, the end time, and whether the activity intensity is moderate or vigorous.

Health Connect also contains updated APIs supporting medical records. This allows apps to read and write medical records in FHIR format with explicit user consent.

Privacy Sandbox su Android

Android 16 integra la versione più recente di Privacy Sandbox su Android, nell'ambito del nostro impegno continuo per sviluppare tecnologie in cui gli utenti sanno che la loro privacy è protetta. Sul nostro sito web puoi trovare ulteriori informazioni sul Programma beta per sviluppatori di Privacy Sandbox su Android per iniziare. Dai un'occhiata a SDK Runtime che consente agli SDK di essere eseguiti in un ambiente di runtime dedicato separato dall' app che stanno pubblicando, offrendo misure di salvaguardia più efficaci per la raccolta e la condivisione dei dati utente.

Sicurezza

Android 16 include funzionalità che ti aiutano a migliorare la sicurezza della tua app e a proteggere i dati dell'app.

API per la condivisione delle chiavi

Android 16 aggiunge API che supportano la condivisione dell'accesso alle chiavi del Keystore di Android con altre app. La nuova classe KeyStoreManager supporta la concessione e la revoca dell'accesso alle chiavi in base all'uid dell'app e include un'API per consentire alle app di accedere alle chiavi condivise.

Fattori di forma dei dispositivi

Android 16 offre alle tue app il supporto per sfruttare al meglio i fattori di forma di Android.

Framework standardizzato per la qualità audio e video delle TV

Il nuovo MediaQuality package in Android 16 espone un insieme di API standardizzate per l'accesso ai profili audio e di immagini e alle impostazioni relative all'hardware. In questo modo, le app di streaming possono eseguire query sui profili e applicarli ai contenuti multimediali in modo dinamico:

• I film masterizzati con una gamma dinamica più ampia richiedono una maggiore accuratezza del colore per vedere dettagli sottili nelle ombre e adattarsi alla luce ambientale, pertanto potrebbe essere appropriato un profilo che preferisca l'accuratezza del colore alla luminosità.
• Gli eventi sportivi dal vivo vengono spesso masterizzati con una gamma dinamica ristretta, ma spesso vengono guardati alla luce del giorno, quindi un profilo che preferisce la luminosità all'accuratezza del colore può dare risultati migliori.
• I contenuti completamente interattivi richiedono un'elaborazione minima per ridurre la latenza e una frequenza frame più elevata, motivo per cui molte TV sono dotate di un profilo di gioco.

L'API consente alle app di passare da un profilo all'altro e agli utenti di regolare le TV supportate in base ai loro contenuti.

Internazionalizzazione

Android 16 aggiunge funzionalità e capacità che completano l'esperienza utente quando un dispositivo viene utilizzato in lingue diverse.

Testo verticale

Android 16 adds low-level support for rendering and measuring text vertically to provide foundational vertical writing support for library developers. This is particularly useful for languages like Japanese that commonly use vertical writing systems. A new flag, VERTICAL_TEXT_FLAG, has been added to the Paint class. When this flag is set using Paint.setFlags, Paint's text measurement APIs will report vertical advances instead of horizontal advances, and Canvas will draw text vertically.

val text = "「春は、曙。」"
Box(
    Modifier.padding(innerPadding).background(Color.White).fillMaxSize().drawWithContent {
        drawIntoCanvas { canvas ->
            val paint = Paint().apply { textSize = 64.sp.toPx() }
            // Draw text vertically
            paint.flags = paint.flags or VERTICAL_TEXT_FLAG
            val height = paint.measureText(text)
            canvas.nativeCanvas.drawText(
                text,
                0,
                text.length,
                size.width / 2,
                (size.height - height) / 2,
                paint
            )
        }
    }
) {}

Personalizzazione del sistema di misurazione

Users can now customize their measurement system in regional preferences within Settings. The user preference is included as part of the locale code, so you can register a BroadcastReceiver on ACTION_LOCALE_CHANGED to handle locale configuration changes when regional preferences change.

Using formatters can help match the local experience. For example, "0.5 in" in English (United States), is "12,7 mm" for a user who has set their phone to English (Denmark) or who uses their phone in English (United States) with the metric system as the measurement system preference.

To find these settings, open the Settings app and navigate to System > Languages & region.
