Creating the Android Jetpack WindowManager setupĪs previously mentioned, we are creating a Java file that can be imported into either Unity or Unreal Engine 4, to create an interface for retrieving information on the folding feature and pass it over to the native or engine side of your applications. According to its documentation, future versions will be extended to more display types and window features. The library had its 1.0.0 release in January 2022 for targeted foldable devices. WindowManager is one of these libraries, and is intended to help application developers support new device form factors and multi-window environments. Android Jetpack WindowManagerĪndroid Jetpack, in their own words, is 'a suite of libraries to help developers follow best practices, reduce boilerplate code, and write code that works consistently across Android versions and devices so that developers can focus on the code they care about.' This creates an interface allowing developers to retrieve information about the folding feature on the device.Īt the end of this blog, you can go deeper in learning by going to Code Lab. We focus on creating a Java file containing an implementation of the Android Jetpack WindowManager library that can be imported into game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine. In this blog, you can get started on how to utilize these foldable features on Android game apps.

With the increasing popularity of foldable phones such as the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3, apps on these devices are adopting its foldable features.
