# Adaptive

One app that holds its shape on phone, tablet, desktop and TV

## What this does

Your app was built for a phone screen, and now it has to run on tablets, foldables, laptops, TVs and more. This walks you through changing the UI so it responds to the space it is given and to whatever people are typing or pointing with. Reach for it when you are adding support for a new kind of device.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Fix a layout that falls apart on a tablet
- Support a mouse and a keyboard, not just touch
- Lay out a screen with more than one pane

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Adaptive

Instructions for making or updating an app's UI so it adapts across Android devices, including phones, tablets, foldables, laptops, desktop, TV, Auto and XR.

It covers handling different window sizes and different input hardware, such as pointing devices and text entry devices, using the Compose MediaQuery API.

It also covers multi-pane layouts with Navigation3 Scenes, adaptive UI components such as buttons with varying target sizes, and adaptive layouts including navigation areas like nav rails and nav bars, built with the Compose Grid and FlexBox APIs.

## Questions

### Is Adaptive safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Adaptive and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 1e5e7ae6138b, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/adaptive.

### How do I install Adaptive?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/adaptive on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/android/skills/tree/1e5e7ae6138bebd0835d0d5854b0b9adfeed3181/jetpack-compose/adaptive. Install from that link, not the branch.
