Figure 1: Surface Duo 2 is now available!<\/em>\n<\/p>\n \n If you don\u2019t yet have a device, you can easily build and test apps for Surface Duo 2 using our latest Android 11 emulator. Download and install<\/a> the Surface Duo 2 emulator to test your apps in single and dual-screen modes, including adjustments based on hinge angle:\n<\/p>\n \n \n Google provides the Jetpack Window Manager library and SlidingPaneLayout control for Android developers to adapt their apps for foldable and dual-screen devices. We\u2019ve built a variety of samples<\/a> to help Kotlin and Java developers learn how to use these APIs, as well as instructions for Jetpack Compose<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \n Developers using cross-platforms tools like Xamarin, Unity, React Native, Flutter, or web development can also build dual-screen and foldable-aware apps.\n<\/p>\n \n The Surface Duo Design Kit has also been updated. The Figma resource now includes Surface Duo 2 device frames, in addition to our user experience design guidelines, including:\n<\/p>\n \n Figure 3: Visit the Surface Duo Design Kit<\/em>\n<\/p>\n \n Visit the Surface Duo design documentation<\/a> or interact directly with the Design Kit in Figma<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \n Our dual-screen developer documentation is localized into a number of languages, including French<\/a>, German<\/a>, Japanese<\/a>, Spanish<\/a>, and more<\/a>. We\u2019re also adding translations to our samples<\/a> so they\u2019re more accessible to developers everywhere.\n<\/p>\n \n Figure 4: documentation localized into other languages<\/em>\n<\/p>\n \n For coding tips, visit the Surface Duo developer documentation<\/a> , our samples<\/a>, and Google\u2019s Android large screen development guidance<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \n If you have any questions, or would like to tell us about your dual-screen apps, use the\u00a0feedback forum<\/a>\u00a0or message us on Twitter\u00a0@surfaceduodev<\/a>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n \n If your app team is interested in deeper engineering engagement with Microsoft to explore how foldables like Surface Duo and Surface Duo 2 can be used to create more value for your users, we provide direct engineering consultancy with dedicated development resources during your app team\u2019s exploration and production phases. Connect with us privately using DM on Twitter @surfaceduodev<\/a> to set up a meet-n-greet.\n<\/p>\n \n Finally, please join us for our dual-screen developer livestream<\/a> at 11am (Pacific time) each Friday \u2013 mark it in your calendar and check out the archives on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello Android developers!
