Description
Android 3.2 is an incremental platform release that adds new
capabilities for users and developers. The sections below provide an overview
of the new features and developer APIs.

New user features



  • Optimizations for a wider range of tablets

    Android 3.2 includes a variety of optimizations across the system
    to ensure a great user experience on a wider range of tablet devices.

  • Compatibility zoom for fixed-sized apps

    Android 3.2 introduces a new compatibility zoom mode that gives
    users a new way to view fixed-sized apps on larger devices. The new mode provides a
    pixel-scaled alternative to the standard UI stretching for apps that are not
    designed to run on larger screen sizes, such as on tablets. The new mode is
    accessible to users from a menu icon in the system bar, for apps that need
    compatibility support.

  • Media sync from SD card

    On devices that support an SD card, users can now load media files directly
    from the SD card to apps that use them. A system facility makes the files
    accessible to apps from the system media store.




New developer features



  • Extended API for managing screens support

    Android 3.2 introduces extensions to the platform's screen support API to
    give developers additional ways to manage application UI across the range of
    Android-powered devices. The API includes new resource qualifiers and new
    manifest attributes that give you more precise control over how your
    apps are displayed on different sizes, rather than relying on generalized
    size categories.



    To ensure the best possible display for fixed-sized apps and apps with limited
    support for various screen sizes, the platform also provides a new zoom
    compatibility mode that renders the UI on a smaller screen area, then scales it
    up to fill the space available on the display. For more information about the
    screen support API and the controls it provides, see the sections below.
