🤑 Did you know foldable users spend about 14x more on in-app purchases than standard phone users? And these users expect adaptive layouts. Check out our 3 tips to make your app shine on the brand-new Pixel 11 Pro Fold, built to run Gemini Nano 4, just announced at #MadeByGoogle: Tip 1: Drop hardcoded layouts! Use Navigation 3, Grid, or FlexBox so your UI automatically wraps and reflows across screen sizes. Tip 2: Leverage FoldingFeature updates to trigger posture-specific UIs, like splitting controls on the bottom and main viewfinders on top. Tip 3: Migrate your media pipeline to CameraX to handle sensor rotations automatically and power dual-screen previewing with minimal custom logic. https://lnkd.in/eD8qd-Ny
