Browser 1.7.0 expands the CustomTabsIntent APIs to offer more control over how exactly the custom tab you launch works: options like hiding overflow menu items that don't make sense or changing how app handled URLs should work.

WindowManager 1.2.0 is out now and it includes experimental APIs for accessing the rear screen on foldable devices, something that @MishaalRahman previously covered: https://androiddev.social/@MishaalRahman/111377226920792066

Attached: 2 images Android 14 finally lets apps show content on both screens on a foldable! Thanks to new Jetpack WindowManager APIs and a new WindowManager Extension, apps can now use both the inner & outer display on a foldable. Here's my article for Android Police that explains how this new feature works: https://www.androidpolice.com/android-14-dual-display-mode/

Activity 1.8.1 has an important fix for those apps that are looking to support Predictive Back, ensuring that an in progress back gesture can't be interrupted by a new callback (say, from a new screen entering) being added.

@ianlake Ooohhh interesting! ๐Ÿ‘€
Is the adaptive navigation from material 3 supposed to be replacing code kinda like this here? https://github.com/HedvigInsurance/android/blob/5f1f762af6f5af12cc93946f7113bc4c9cee9a0a/app/app/src/main/kotlin/com/hedvig/app/feature/loggedin/ui/LoggedInActivity.kt#L277-L326

Does it also handle things like animating between the states? Or perhaps something left to the consumer to do?

Would love to see if there's any docs/samples around this, currently clicking on "NavigationSuiteScaffold" and all other blue items here https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-material3#adaptive-navigation-1.0.0-alpha01 goes to a 404 page

@gakisstylianos - there was a new blog post just published which goes into the two use cases they cover in this first alpha (list/detail and swapping between bottom nav and a nav rail): https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/new-apis-for-adaptive-layouts-in-jetpack-compose-f27cace48bcd
