The result is a crisp, correctly rotated camera preview. The post also touches on Android's expanding form factors — connected displays, Google Books (next Chrome OS iteration), XR spaces — and notes that Android 17's orientation and resizability API changes make now the right time to ensure app compatibility. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
