Thinking about configuration changes isn't optional. Imagine a website trying to prevent the browser window from being resized or breaking when it does. Android apps can't disable configuration changes and need to react to them correctly without losing state using the tools available.

Scenes! If there's only one concept to call out for Navigation 3, it's scenes. The abstraction layer allows showing multiple panes at a time, and in different ways. It's the integration hook that integrates Navigation3 with ListDetailPaneScaffold in a flexible, satisfying way.

runComposeUiTest has a nice change in #JetpackCompose 1.9.0-alpha01 - the test body block now suspends! So you no longer have to do a nested runComposeUiTest { runTest { /* suspending test code */ } }, which could be funky since runComposeUiTest had an internal runTest before that wasn't exposed.

UI that isn't tested is UI that can break. There are Compose techniques for each part of testing - quick verification when iterating, and automating both visual tests and behavior tests. And coming in Compose 1.8, don't miss the new DeviceConfigurationOverride.WindowInsets for testing insets!

Android 16 will have some big changes around restricting orientation and aspect ratio by respecting the user's preferred orientation in more cases. Apps can no longer rely on assuming they have a specific aspect ratio to render in. For more details: android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/01/orie...

After figuring out how to make the coordinates work, it's so satisfying to use a live-updating drag and drop that previews where the dropped content will go.
