description: Instructions to make or update an app's UI so that it adapts to different
4+
Android devices including phones, tablets, foldables, laptops, desktop, TV, Auto
5+
and XR. It includes how to handle different window sizes, pointing devices (such
6+
as mouse) and text entry devices (such as keyboard) using the Compose MediaQuery
7+
API. It also covers multi-pane layouts using Navigation3 Scenes, adaptive UI components
8+
(such as buttons) with varying target sizes, and adaptive layouts (including navigation
9+
areas - nav rails and nav bars) using the Compose Grid and FlexBox APIs.

## Prerequisites
25+
26+
The app must:
27+
28+
- Use Compose for all screens. If it's still using Fragments or Views, suggest using the XML to Compose skill to migrate those screens.
29+
- Use Jetpack Navigation 3. If it doesn't, suggest the Navigation 3 skill to migrate the app.
30+
31+
## Workflow to make an app adaptive
32+
33+
To make an app adaptive, follow these steps or a subset of them adapting to the
34+
task.
35+
36+
- Step 1: Verify current UI
37+
- Step 2: Make the navigation bar adaptive
38+
- Step 3: Add multi-pane layouts
39+
- Step 4: Make vertical lists adaptive by changing the number of columns
40+
- Step 5: Hide app bars when scrolling
41+
42+
## Step 1. Verify current UI
43+
44+
Ensure that screenshot tests exist to verify the current UI on different form
45+
factors. If they don't exist, add the [Compose Preview Screenshot Testing
46+
tool](references/android/develop/ui/compose/tooling/debug.md). Use the following annotation to create previews for all the major form
47+
factors. For example:
48+
49+
50+
```kotlin
51+
@Preview(name = "Phone", device = Devices.PHONE, showBackground = true)
52+
@Preview(name = "Foldable", device = Devices.FOLDABLE, showBackground = true)
53+
@Preview(name = "Tablet", device = Devices.TABLET, showBackground = true)
54+
@Preview(name = "Desktop", device = Devices.DESKTOP, showBackground = true)
55+
annotation class FormFactorPreviews
56+
57+
@PreviewTest
58+
@FormFactorPreviews
59+
@Composable
60+
fun FeedScreenPreview() {
61+
SnippetsTheme {
62+
Box {
63+
Text("My Screen")
64+
}
65+
}
66+
}
67+
```
68+
69+
<br />
70+
71+
## Step 2. Make the navigation bar adaptive
72+
73+
Bottom navigation bars are optimized for touch input when the user is holding a
74+
phone in portrait mode. On larger screen hand-held devices, like tablets and
75+
unfolded foldables, the navigation area must be accessible from the edge of the
76+
screen (navigation rail).
77+
78+
If you need to provide more screen real state for the content, hide the
79+
navigation area. Examples of this include:
80+
81+
- Hiding the navigation bar when the user scrolls down and showing it again when the user scrolls up. The assumption is that when the user is scrolling down, they are consuming content but when scrolling up they are trying to navigate away from that content.
82+
- Hiding the navigation area when its content is distracting. For example, in camera previews or when the content is best displayed in full screen (such as a single photo screen).
83+
84+
When the detail screen is displayed full-screen on mobile, full-screen mode must
85+
be deactivated on larger screens.
86+
87+
Steps to migrate:
88+
89+
- Locate the existing navigation bar.
90+
- Convert each item to a `NavigationSuiteItem`.
91+
- Identify whether the navigation bar's visibility changes. For example, if it is wrapped with an `AnimatedContent` or `AnimatedVisibility` composable. If so, follow the guidance in the "Control navigation area visibility".
92+
- Replace the container that held the navigation bar (often a `Scaffold`) with `NavigationSuiteScaffold` from the Material 3 adaptive layouts library.
93+
- Supply the navigation items using the `navigationItems` parameter of `NavigationSuiteScaffold`.
94+
95+
### Step 2.1. Control navigation area visibility
96+
97+
If the navigation bar's visibility changes - it is hidden under certain
98+
scenarios or on certain screens - this behavior must be maintained with the
99+
adaptive navigation area. This is done using `NavigationSuiteScaffold`'s `state`
100+
parameter.
101+
102+
Steps to migrate:
103+
104+
- Identify the scenarios under which the navigation bar is hidden. This is usually done with a boolean variable for the visibility. It could be named something like `isNavBarVisible` or `shouldShowNavBar`.
105+
- Create an instance of `NavigationSuiteScaffoldState` using `rememberNavigationSuiteScaffoldState()` and pass it to `NavigationSuiteScaffold`.
106+
- When the navigation area visibility changes, use a `LaunchedEffect` to call `show` or `hide` on the `NavigationSuiteScaffoldState`.
107+
108+
For example:
109+
110+
111+
```kotlin
112+
// Pass this variable to any composable that needs to control the navigation area visibility
113+
var isNavBarVisible by remember { mutableStateOf(true) }
114+
val scaffoldVisibilityState = rememberNavigationSuiteScaffoldState()
115+
116+
NavigationSuiteScaffold(
117+
navigationSuiteItems = navItems,
118+
state = scaffoldVisibilityState
119+
) {
120+
// Main content
121+
}
122+
123+
LaunchedEffect(isNavBarVisible){
124+
if (isNavBarVisible) {
125+
scaffoldVisibilityState.show()
126+
} else {
127+
scaffoldVisibilityState.hide()
128+
}
129+
}
130+
```
131+
132+
<br />
133+
134+
## Step 3. Add multi-pane layouts using Navigation 3 Scenes
135+
136+
Analyze the codebase looking for related screens - tapping on something in one
137+
screen opens another screen that shows information related to the first. There
138+
are two canonical screen relationships: list-detail and supporting pane.
139+
140+
IMPORTANT: You must use the Navigation 3 `SceneStrategy` approach to implement
141+
multi-pane layouts. Do not use `ListDetailPaneScaffold` or
142+
`SupportingPaneScaffold`.
143+
144+
### Step 3.1. List-detail
145+
146+
#### Identify the list and detail screens
147+
148+
List-detail layouts display a list of items (this is the list screen) and
149+
clicking on an item opens a new screen that shows more details about that item
150+
(the detail screen).
151+
152+
Typical usage includes productivity apps like email, notes, and messaging.
153+
154+
Unless requested explicitly, avoid this pattern when the detail content requires
155+
substantial screen space (e.g., images or media that benefits from a full-screen
156+
presentation).
157+
158+
#### Add a Material list-detail SceneStrategy
159+
160+
- Add the `androidx.compose.material3.adaptive:adaptive-navigation3` library
161+
- Create an `androidx.compose.material3.adaptive.navigation3.ListDetailSceneStrategy` using `rememberListDetailSceneStrategy`
162+
- Pass the `ListDetailSceneStrategy` to `NavDisplay` using its `sceneStrategies` parameter
163+
164+
#### Use metadata to identify the list and detail screens
165+
166+
- Add metadata using `entry(metadata = ...)` or `NavEntry(metadata = ...)` to the list entry using `ListDetailSceneStrategy.listPane(detailPlaceholder = {
167+
<placeholder composable> })`.
168+
- Use the `detailPlaceholder` parameter to add a placeholder on the detail screen when no list items are selected.
169+
- Add metadata to the detail entry using `ListDetailSceneStrategy.detailPane()`.
170+
171+
#### Important considerations
172+
173+
- When a detail screen displays its content full-screen on mobile (content fills the entire screen, bars or rails are hidden), full-screen mode must be deactivated if it's part of a list-detail layout.
174+
- Detail screens must not show a back arrow when on a list-detail layout.
175+
176+
For a reference implementation, check the [Nav3 **Material** List Detail
177+
recipe](references/android/guide/navigation/navigation-3/recipes/material-listdetail.md).
178+
179+
### Step 3.2. Supporting pane
180+
181+
Identify supporting pane screens where a main screen displays a single item, and
182+
selecting it opens a "supporting screen" with more details. The supporting
183+
screen complements the main screen and is shown in a supporting pane.
184+
185+
#### Add a Material supporting pane `SceneStrategy`
186+
187+
- If you haven't already, add the `androidx.compose.material3.adaptive:adaptive-navigation3` library
188+
- Create an `androidx.compose.material3.adaptive.navigation3.SupportingPaneSceneStrategy` using `rememberSupportingPaneSceneStrategy`
189+
- Pass the `SupportingPaneSceneStrategy` to `NavDisplay` using its `sceneStrategies` parameter
190+
191+
#### Use metadata to identify the main and supporting screens
192+
193+
- Add metadata using `entry(metadata = ...)` or `NavEntry(metadata = ...)` to the main entry using `SupportingPaneSceneStrategy.mainPane()`
194+
- Add metadata to the supporting entry using `SupportingPaneSceneStrategy.supportingPane()`
195+
196+
### Step 3.3. Run screenshot tests
197+
198+
If you have made changes, record new reference files. Ask the user to visually
199+
verify that the new layouts are correct.
200+
201+
## Step 4. Make vertical lists adaptive by changing the number of columns
202+
203+
### Step 4.1. Make lazy lists adaptive
204+
205+
Look for the following vertical list composables: `LazyColumn`,
206+
`LazyVerticalGrid`, `LazyVerticalStaggeredGrid`.
207+
208+
Steps to migrate:
209+
210+
- Choose a suitable minimum width in dp for the column. It should be large enough so that item is clearly visible to the user.
211+
- For `LazyColumn`: change to a `LazyVerticalGrid` and follow the instruction below
212+
- For `LazyVerticalGrid`: change the `columns` parameter to use `GridCells.Adaptive(<width>.dp)`
213+
- For `LazyVerticalStaggeredGrid`: change the `columns` parameter to use `StaggeredGridCells.Adaptive(<width>.dp)`
214+
215+
### Step 4.2. Migrate non-lazy lists to Grid
216+
217+
WARNING: Grid is an experimental API available from Compose 1.11.0-beta01.
218+
Confirm with the user that they are happy to use an experimental API in their
219+
codebase.
220+
221+
Look for any `Column` that contains multiple items of the same type and replace
222+
it with `Grid`. Do not replace it with `LazyVerticalGrid` or any other lazy
223+
layout. Do not place `Grid` inside the existing `Column`. Completely replace it.
224+
225+
`Grid` is configured by supplying a lambda (an extension function on
226+
`GridConfigurationScope`) to its `config` parameter. Inside the lambda,
227+
`constraints` provides the minimum and maximum dimensions of the grid container
228+
and can be used to change the number of rows and columns based on the available
229+
size. For example, the following code configures `Grid` such that when the
230+
available width is:
231+
232+
- less than 800dp, a 2x4 grid is used
233+
- 800dp or more, a 4x2 grid is used
234+
235+
236+
```kotlin
237+
Grid(
238+
config = {
239+
val maxWidthDp = constraints.maxWidth.toDp()
240+
val (cols, rows) = if (maxWidthDp < 800.dp){
241+
2 to 4
242+
} else{
243+
4 to 2
244+
}
245+
246+
val gapSizeDp = 8.dp
247+
val cellSize = ((maxWidthDp - (gapSizeDp * (cols - 1))) / cols).coerceAtLeast(0.dp)
248+
repeat(cols) { column(cellSize) }
249+
repeat(rows) { row(cellSize) }
250+
gap(gapSizeDp)
251+
}
252+
) { /** items **/ }
253+
```
254+
255+
<br />
256+
257+
`Grid` is an experimental API so add the `@OptIn(ExperimentalGridApi::class)`
258+
annotation to any function that uses it.
259+
260+
## Step 5: Hide App Bars when scrolling
261+
262+
In an app with multiple top-level destinations, each screen must manage its own
263+
app bar state independently. There are two main scroll behaviors:
264+
265+
- `exitUntilCollapsedScrollBehavior`: Hides on scroll down, stays hidden while you scroll up until you reach the very top (0 offset).
266+
- `enterAlwaysScrollBehavior`: Hides on scroll down, shows immediately on scroll up.
267+
268+
## Final step: Build and test
269+
270+
Build the app and run the local tests. If the project has screenshot tests, run
271+
them but DO NOT update the reference images. Prompt the user to do this after
272+
they have viewed the screenshot diffs.
273+
274+
## Additional documentation for experimental adaptive APIs
275+
276+
The following APIs are available from Compose 1.11.0-beta01.
277+
278+
