Google begins providing developers with a preview of its cross-device experienceCross-Device Development Toolset, allowing developers to more easily bring the content experience on the Android platform to other devices, including tablets, TVs, cars, and even devices with different operating system platforms.
During this year's Google I/O 2022, Google once again emphasized the improvement of cross-platform user experience design, which includes cross-device usage modes, allowing users to connect with different devices through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or ultra-wideband (UWB, Ultra Wide Band) and other connection methods, thereby quickly transferring the operation mode on the mobile phone to other mobile phones, or tablets, TVs and car systems. At the same time, the usage content on different devices can also be transferred to the mobile phone for continued use.
The development toolkit previewed this time will focus on three key operational functions: automatic discovery of nearby devices, establishing secure connections between devices, and hosting various application services on multiple devices. For example, you can quickly switch a file opened on your phone to your tablet for continued editing, or quickly transfer music played on your phone to the car system for playback. You can even share the navigation results of the car system with other passengers in the car.
