核心功能

Android 包含可扩展 Android 系统核心功能的新 API。

2025 年发布两个 Android API

  • This preview is for the next major release of Android with a planned launch in Q2 of 2025. This release is similar to all of our API releases in the past, where we can have planned behavior changes that are often tied to a targetSdkVersion.
  • We're planning the major release a quarter earlier (Q2 rather than Q3 in prior years) to better align with the schedule of device launches across our ecosystem, so more devices can get the major release of Android sooner. With the major release coming in Q2, you'll need to do your annual compatibility testing a few months earlier than in previous years to make sure your apps are ready.
  • We plan to have another release in Q4 of 2025 which also will include new developer APIs. The Q2 major release will be the only release in 2025 to include planned behavior changes that could affect apps.

In addition to new developer APIs, the Q4 minor release will pick up feature updates, optimizations, and bug fixes; it will not include any app-impacting behavior changes.

Timeline view of Android releases in 2025, noting that the 25Q2
       release is a major release and the 25Q4 release is a minor release.

We'll continue to have quarterly Android releases. The Q1 and Q3 updates in-between the API releases will provide incremental updates to help ensure continuous quality. We're actively working with our device partners to bring the Q2 release to as many devices as possible.

Using new APIs with major and minor releases

Guarding a code block with a check for API level is done today using the SDK_INT constant with VERSION_CODES. This will continue to be supported for major Android releases.

if (SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.BAKLAVA) {
  // Use APIs introduced in Android 16
}

The new SDK_INT_FULL constant can be used for API checks against both major and minor versions with the new VERSION_CODES_FULL enumeration.

if (SDK_INT_FULL >= VERSION_CODES_FULL.[MAJOR or MINOR RELEASE]) {
  // Use APIs introduced in a major or minor release
}

You can also use the Build.getMinorSdkVersion() method to get just the minor SDK version.

val minorSdkVersion = Build.getMinorSdkVersion(VERSION_CODES_FULL.BAKLAVA)

These APIs have not yet been finalized and are subject to change, so please send us feedback if you have any concerns.

用户体验和系统界面

Android 16 让应用开发者和用户可以更好地控制和灵活地配置设备,以满足他们的需求。

以进度为中心的通知

Android 16 引入了以进度为中心的通知,可帮助用户顺畅地跟踪用户发起的端到端历程。

Notification.ProgressStyle 是一种新的通知样式,可让您创建以进度为中心的通知。主要用例包括共享车辆、送货和导航。在 Notification.ProgressStyle 类中,您可以使用细分来表示用户体验历程中的状态和里程碑。

To learn more, see the Progress-centric notifications documentation page.

预测性返回更新

Android 16 添加了新 API,可帮助您在手势导航中启用预测性返回系统动画,例如“返回主屏幕”动画。通过使用新的 PRIORITY_SYSTEM_NAVIGATION_OBSERVER 注册 onBackInvokedCallback,您的应用可以在系统处理返回导航时接收常规的 onBackInvoked 调用,而不会影响正常的返回导航流程。

Android 16 还添加了 finishAndRemoveTaskCallback()moveTaskToBackCallback。通过向 OnBackInvokedDispatcher 注册这些回调,系统可以在调用返回手势时触发特定行为并播放相应的提前动画。

更丰富的触感反馈

Android has exposed control over the haptic actuator ever since its inception.

Android 11 added support for more complex haptic effects that more advanced actuators could support through VibrationEffect.Compositions of device-defined semantic primitives.

Android 16 adds haptic APIs that let apps define the amplitude and frequency curves of a haptic effect while abstracting away differences between device capabilities.

开发者工作效率和工具

虽然我们为提高开发者效率所做的大部分工作都集中在 Android StudioJetpack ComposeAndroid Jetpack 库等工具上,但我们始终在寻找各种方法,通过平台帮助您实现愿景。

动态壁纸的内容处理

In Android 16, the live wallpaper framework is gaining a new content API to address the challenges of dynamic, user-driven wallpapers. Currently, live wallpapers incorporating user-provided content require complex, service-specific implementations. Android 16 introduces WallpaperDescription and WallpaperInstance. WallpaperDescription lets you identify distinct instances of a live wallpaper from the same service. For example, a wallpaper that has instances on both the home screen and on the lock screen may have unique content in both places. The wallpaper picker and WallpaperManager use this metadata to better present wallpapers to users, streamlining the process for you to create diverse and personalized live wallpaper experiences.

性能和电池

Android 16 引入了一些 API,可帮助您收集有关应用的数据分析。

系统触发的性能分析

ProfilingManager was added in Android 15, giving apps the ability to request profiling data collection using Perfetto on public devices in the field. However, since this profiling must be started from the app, critical flows such as startups or ANRs would be difficult or impossible for apps to capture.

To help with this, Android 16 introduces system-triggered profiling to ProfilingManager. Apps can register interest in receiving traces for certain triggers such as cold start reportFullyDrawn or ANRs, and then the system starts and stops a trace on the app's behalf. After the trace completes, the results are delivered to the app's data directory.

在 ApplicationStartInfo 中启动组件

ApplicationStartInfo 在 Android 15 中添加,可让应用查看进程启动原因、启动类型、启动时间、节流和其他实用诊断数据。Android 16 添加了 getStartComponent(),用于区分触发启动的组件类型,这有助于优化应用的启动流程。

更好的作业自省

JobScheduler#getPendingJobReason() API 会返回作业可能处于待处理状态的原因。不过,作业处于待处理状态的原因可能有多种。

在 Android 16 中,我们引入了一个新 API JobScheduler#getPendingJobReasons(int jobId),该 API 会返回作业处于待处理状态的多种原因,包括开发者设置的显式约束条件和系统设置的隐式约束条件。

我们还引入了 JobScheduler#getPendingJobReasonsHistory(int jobId),用于返回最新约束条件更改的列表。

我们建议您使用该 API 来调试作业可能无法执行的原因,尤其是在您发现某些任务的成功率降低或某些作业完成延迟存在 bug 时。例如,未能在后台更新微件,或在应用启动之前未能调用预加载作业。

这还有助于您更好地了解某些作业是否因系统定义的约束条件而无法完成,而不是因明确设置的约束条件而无法完成。

自适应刷新率

Adaptive refresh rate (ARR), introduced in Android 15, enables the display refresh rate on supported hardware to adapt to the content frame rate using discrete VSync steps. This reduces power consumption while eliminating the need for potentially jank-inducing mode-switching.

Android 16 introduces hasArrSupport() and getSuggestedFrameRate(int) while restoring getSupportedRefreshRates() to make it easier for your apps to take advantage of ARR. RecyclerView 1.4 internally supports ARR when it is settling from a fling or smooth scroll, and we're continuing our work to add ARR support into more Jetpack libraries. This frame rate article covers many of the APIs you can use to set the frame rate so that your app can directly use ARR.

ADPF 中的 Headroom API

The SystemHealthManager introduces the getCpuHeadroom and getGpuHeadroom APIs, designed to provide games and resource-intensive apps with estimates of available CPU and GPU resources. These methods offer a way for you to gauge how your app or game can best improve system health, particularly when used in conjunction with other Android Dynamic Performance Framework (ADPF) APIs that detect thermal throttling.

By using CpuHeadroomParams and GpuHeadroomParams on supported devices, you can customize the time window used to compute the headroom and select between average or minimum resource availability. This can help you reduce your CPU or GPU resource usage accordingly, leading to better user experiences and improved battery life.

无障碍

Android 16 添加了新的无障碍功能 API 和功能,可帮助您面向每位用户提供应用。

改进了无障碍功能 API

Android 16 adds additional APIs to enhance UI semantics that help improve consistency for users that rely on accessibility services, such as TalkBack.

Outline text for maximum text contrast

Users with low vision often have reduced contrast sensitivity, making it challenging to distinguish objects from their backgrounds. To help these users, Android 16 introduces outline text, replacing high contrast text, which draws a larger contrasting area around text to greatly improve legibility.

Android 16 contains new AccessibilityManager APIs to let your apps check or register a listener to see if this mode is enabled. This is primarily for UI Toolkits like Compose to offer a similar visual experience. If you maintain a UI Toolkit library or your app performs custom text rendering that bypasses the android.text.Layout class then you can use this to know when outline text is enabled.

Text with enhanced contrast before and after Android 16's new outline text accessibility feature

Duration added to TtsSpan

Android 16 extends TtsSpan with a TYPE_DURATION, consisting of ARG_HOURS, ARG_MINUTES, and ARG_SECONDS. This lets you directly annotate time duration, ensuring accurate and consistent text-to-speech output with services like TalkBack.

Support elements with multiple labels

Android currently allows UI elements to derive their accessibility label from another, and now offers the ability for multiple labels to be associated, a common scenario in web content. By introducing a list-based API within AccessibilityNodeInfo, Android can directly support these multi-label relationships. As part of this change, we've deprecated AccessibilityNodeInfo#setLabeledBy and #getLabeledBy in favor of #addLabeledBy, #removeLabeledBy, and #getLabeledByList.

Improved support for expandable elements

Android 16 adds accessibility APIs that allow you to convey the expanded or collapsed state of interactive elements, such as menus and expandable lists. By setting the expanded state using setExpandedState and dispatching TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED AccessibilityEvents with a CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_EXPANDED content change type, you can ensure that screen readers like TalkBack announce state changes, providing a more intuitive and inclusive user experience.

Indeterminate ProgressBars

Android 16 adds RANGE_TYPE_INDETERMINATE, giving a way for you to expose RangeInfo for both determinate and indeterminate ProgressBar widgets, allowing services like TalkBack to more consistently provide feedback for progress indicators.

Tri-state CheckBox

The new AccessibilityNodeInfo getChecked and setChecked(int) methods in Android 16 now support a "partially checked" state in addition to "checked" and "unchecked." This replaces the deprecated boolean isChecked and setChecked(boolean).

Supplemental descriptions

When an accessibility service describes a ViewGroup, it combines content labels from its child views. If you provide a contentDescription for the ViewGroup, accessibility services assume you are also overriding the description of non-focusable child views. This can be problematic if you want to label things like a drop-down (for example, "Font Family") while preserving the current selection for accessibility (for example, "Roboto"). Android 16 adds setSupplementalDescription so you can provide text that provides information about a ViewGroup without overriding information from its children.

Required form fields

Android 16 adds setFieldRequired to AccessibilityNodeInfo so apps can tell an accessibility service that input to a form field is required. This is an important scenario for users filling out many types of forms, even things as simple as a required terms and conditions checkbox, helping users to consistently identify and quickly navigate between required fields.

使用 LEA 助听器进行语音通话时,将手机用作麦克风输入

Android 16 adds the capability for users of LE Audio hearing aids to switch between the built-in microphones on the hearing aids and the microphone on their phone for voice calls. This can be helpful in noisy environments or other situations where the hearing aid's microphones might not perform well.

LEA 助听器的环境音量控制

Android 16 adds the capability for users of LE Audio hearing aids to adjust the volume of ambient sound that is picked up by the hearing aid's microphones. This can be helpful in situations where background noise is too loud or too quiet.

相机

Android 16 增强了对专业相机用户的支持,支持混合自动曝光以及精确的色温和色调调整。新的夜间模式指示器可帮助应用了解何时切换到夜间模式相机会话以及何时从夜间模式相机会话切换出去。新的 Intent 操作让您可以更轻松地拍摄动态照片,我们还将继续改进 UltraHDR 图片,使其支持 HEIC 编码和 ISO 21496-1 草稿标准中的新参数。

混合自动曝光

Android 16 adds new hybrid auto-exposure modes to Camera2, allowing you to manually control specific aspects of exposure while letting the auto-exposure (AE) algorithm handle the rest. You can control ISO + AE, and exposure time + AE, providing greater flexibility compared to the current approach where you either have full manual control or rely entirely on auto-exposure.

fun setISOPriority() {
    // ... (Your existing code before the snippet) ...

    val availablePriorityModes = mStaticInfo.characteristics.get(
        CameraCharacteristics.CONTROL_AE_AVAILABLE_PRIORITY_MODES
    )

    // ... (Your existing code between the snippets) ...

    // Turn on AE mode to set priority mode
    reqBuilder.set(
        CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE,
        CameraMetadata.CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON
    )
    reqBuilder.set(
        CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_PRIORITY_MODE,
        CameraMetadata.CONTROL_AE_PRIORITY_MODE_SENSOR_SENSITIVITY_PRIORITY
    )
    reqBuilder.set(
        CaptureRequest.SENSOR_SENSITIVITY,
        TEST_SENSITIVITY_VALUE
    )
    val request: CaptureRequest = reqBuilder.build()

    // ... (Your existing code after the snippet) ...
}

精确调整色温和色调

Android 16 adds camera support for fine color temperature and tint adjustments to better support professional video recording applications. In previous Android versions, you could control white balance settings through CONTROL_AWB_MODE, which contains options limited to a preset list, such as Incandescent, Cloudy, and Twilight. The COLOR_CORRECTION_MODE_CCT enables the use of COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TEMPERATURE and COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TINT for precise adjustments of white balance based on the correlated color temperature.

fun setCCT() {
    // ... (Your existing code before this point) ...

    val colorTemperatureRange: Range<Int> =
        mStaticInfo.characteristics[CameraCharacteristics.COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TEMPERATURE_RANGE]

    // Set to manual mode to enable CCT mode
    reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AWB_MODE] = CameraMetadata.CONTROL_AWB_MODE_OFF
    reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.COLOR_CORRECTION_MODE] = CameraMetadata.COLOR_CORRECTION_MODE_CCT
    reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TEMPERATURE] = 5000
    reqBuilder[CaptureRequest.COLOR_CORRECTION_COLOR_TINT] = 30

    val request: CaptureRequest = reqBuilder.build()

    // ... (Your existing code after this point) ...
}

The following examples show how a photo would look after applying different color temperature and tint adjustments:

The original image with no color temperature or tint adjustments applied.
The image with color temperature adjusted to 3000.
The image with color temperature adjusted to 7000.


The image with tint levels lowered by 50.
The image with tint levels raised by 50.

相机夜间模式取景检测

To help your app know when to switch to and from a night mode camera session, Android 16 adds EXTENSION_NIGHT_MODE_INDICATOR. If supported, it's available in the CaptureResult within Camera2.

This is the API we briefly mentioned as coming soon in the How Instagram enabled users to take stunning low light photos blog post. That post is a practical guide on how to implement night mode together with a case study that links higher-quality in-app night mode photos with an increase in the number of photos shared from the in-app camera.

动态照片拍摄 intent 操作

Android 16 添加了标准 intent 操作 ACTION_MOTION_PHOTO_CAPTUREACTION_MOTION_PHOTO_CAPTURE_SECURE,用于请求相机应用拍摄动态照片并将其返回。

您必须传递额外的 EXTRA_OUTPUT 来控制将图片写入的位置,或者通过 Intent.setClipData(ClipData) 传递 Uri。如果您未设置 ClipData,系统会在调用 Context.startActivity(Intent) 时将其复制到该位置。

动态照片示例,显示静态图片和动态播放画面。

UltraHDR 图片增强功能

标准动态范围 (SDR) 与高动态范围 (HDR) 图片质量对比示意图。

Android 16 继续致力于通过 UltraHDR 图片提供出色的图片质量。它添加了对 HEIC 文件格式的 UltraHDR 图片的支持。这些图片将获得 ImageFormat 类型 HEIC_ULTRAHDR,并包含类似于现有 UltraHDR JPEG 格式的嵌入式增益图。我们还在努力为 UltraHDR 添加 AVIF 支持,敬请期待。

此外,Android 16 在 UltraHDR 中实现了 ISO 21496-1 草稿标准中的其他参数,包括能够获取和设置应应用增益图算法的色彩空间,以及支持使用 SDR 增益图的 HDR 编码基础图片。

图形

Android 16 包含最新的图形改进,例如使用 AGSL 的自定义图形效果。

使用 AGSL 实现自定义图形效果

Android 16 adds RuntimeColorFilter and RuntimeXfermode, allowing you to author complex effects like Threshold, Sepia, and Hue Saturation and apply them to draw calls. Since Android 13, you've been able to use AGSL to create custom RuntimeShaders that extend Shader. The new API mirrors this, adding an AGSL-powered RuntimeColorFilter that extends ColorFilter, and a Xfermode effect that lets you implement AGSL-based custom compositing and blending between source and destination pixels.

private val thresholdEffectString = """
    uniform half threshold;

    half4 main(half4 c) {
        half luminosity = dot(c.rgb, half3(0.2126, 0.7152, 0.0722));
        half bw = step(threshold, luminosity);
        return bw.xxx1 * c.a;
    }"""

fun setCustomColorFilter(paint: Paint) {
   val filter = RuntimeColorFilter(thresholdEffectString)
   filter.setFloatUniform(0.5);
   paint.colorFilter = filter
}

连接

Android 16 更新了平台,让您的应用可以使用通信和无线技术的最新进展。

增强型安全范围测算

Android 16 adds support for robust security features in Wi-Fi location on supported devices with Wi-Fi 6's 802.11az, allowing apps to combine the higher accuracy, greater scalability, and dynamic scheduling of the protocol with security enhancements including AES-256-based encryption and protection against MITM attacks. This allows it to be used more safely in proximity use cases, such as unlocking a laptop or a vehicle door. 802.11az is integrated with the Wi-Fi 6 standard, leveraging its infrastructure and capabilities for wider adoption and easier deployment.

通用测距 API

Android 16 includes the new RangingManager, which provides ways to determine the distance and angle on supported hardware between the local device and a remote device. RangingManager supports the usage of a variety of ranging technologies such as BLE channel sounding, BLE RSSI-based ranging, Ultra Wideband, and Wi-Fi round trip time.

媒体

Android 16 包含多种可改善媒体体验的功能。

改进了照片选择器

The photo picker provides a safe, built-in way for users to grant your app access to selected images and videos from both local and cloud storage, instead of their entire media library. Using a combination of Modular System Components through Google System Updates and Google Play services, it's supported back to Android 4.4 (API level 19). Integration requires just a few lines of code with the associated Android Jetpack library.

Android 16 includes the following improvements to the photo picker:

  • Embedded photo picker: New APIs that enable apps to embed the photo picker into their view hierarchy. This allows it to feel like a more integrated part of the app while still leveraging the process isolation that allows users to select media without the app needing overly broad permissions. To maximize compatibility across platform versions and simplify your integration, you'll want to use the forthcoming Android Jetpack library if you want to integrate the embedded photo picker.
  • Cloud search in photo picker: New APIs that enable searching from the cloud media provider for the Android photo picker. Search functionality in the photo picker is coming soon.

高级专业视频

Android 16 引入了对高级专业视频 (APV) 编解码器的支持,该编解码器专为专业级高品质视频录制和后期制作而设计。

APV 编解码器标准具有以下特点:

  • 感知上无损的视频画质(接近原始视频画质)
  • 复杂度低且吞吐量高的仅帧内编码(无像素域预测),以更好地支持编辑工作流
  • 支持高比特率范围(最高几十 Gbps),适用于 2K、4K 和 8K 分辨率内容,由轻量级熵编码方案实现
  • 帧平铺,用于沉浸式内容和启用并行编码和解码
  • 支持各种色度采样格式和位深
  • 支持多次解码和重新编码,且不会严重降低视觉质量
  • 支持多视图视频和辅助视频,例如深度、Alpha 和预览
  • 支持 HDR10/10+ 和用户定义的元数据

OpenAPV 项目提供了 APV 的参考实现。Android 16 将实现对 APV 422-10 配置文件的支持,该配置文件提供 YUV 422 色彩采样以及 10 位编码,并且目标比特率最高可达 2 Gbps。

隐私设置

Android 16 包含多种功能,可帮助应用开发者保护用户隐私。

健康数据共享更新

Health Connect in the developer preview adds ACTIVITY_INTENSITY, a new data type defined according to World Health Organization guidelines around moderate and vigorous activity. Each record requires the start time, the end time and whether the activity intensity is moderate or vigorous.

Health Connect also contains updated APIs supporting health records. This allows apps to read and write medical records in FHIR format with explicit user consent. This API is in an early access program. If you'd like to participate, sign up to be part of our early access program.

Privacy Sandbox on Android

Android 16 incorporates the latest version of the Privacy Sandbox on Android, part of our ongoing work to develop technologies where users know their privacy is protected. Our website has more about the Privacy Sandbox on Android developer beta program to help you get started. Check out the SDK Runtime which allows SDKs to run in a dedicated runtime environment separate from the app they are serving, providing stronger safeguards around user data collection and sharing.

安全

Android 16 包含一些功能,可帮助您增强应用的安全性并保护应用的数据。

密钥共享 API

Android 16 添加了一些 API,这些 API 支持与其他应用共享对 Android Keystore 密钥的访问权限。新的 KeyStoreManager 类支持按应用 uid 授予撤消对密钥的访问权限,并包含一个供应用访问共享密钥的 API。

设备规格

Android 16 为您的应用提供了支持,可让应用充分利用 Android 的设备规格。

适用于电视的标准化画质和音质框架

Android 16 中的新 MediaQuality 软件包公开了一组标准化 API,用于访问音频和图片配置文件以及与硬件相关的设置。这样,在线播放应用就可以查询配置文件并将其动态应用于媒体:

  • 使用更大动态范围进行母版制作的电影需要更高的色彩准确度,才能看清阴影中的细微细节并根据环境光线进行调整,因此,最好使用色彩准确度优先于亮度的配置文件。
  • 体育赛事直播通常采用较窄的动态范围进行母版制作,但通常是在白天观看,因此偏向亮度而非色彩准确度的配置文件可以获得更好的效果。
  • 完全交互式内容需要尽可能减少处理以缩短延迟时间,并且需要更高的帧速率,因此许多电视都附带游戏配置文件。

借助此 API,应用可以在个人资料之间切换,用户可以享受调整支持的电视,以便尽可能适合其内容。

国际化

Android 16 添加了一些功能,可在用户使用不同语言使用设备时提升用户体验。

垂直文本

Android 16 adds low-level support for rendering and measuring text vertically to provide foundational vertical writing support for library developers. This is particularly useful for languages like Japanese that commonly use vertical writing systems. A new flag, VERTICAL_TEXT_FLAG, has been added to the Paint class. When this flag is set using Paint.setFlags, Paint's text measurement APIs will report vertical advances instead of horizontal advances, and Canvas will draw text vertically.

val text = "「春は、曙。」"
Box(
    Modifier.padding(innerPadding).background(Color.White).fillMaxSize().drawWithContent {
        drawIntoCanvas { canvas ->
            val paint = Paint().apply { textSize = 64.sp.toPx() }
            // Draw text vertically
            paint.flags = paint.flags or VERTICAL_TEXT_FLAG
            val height = paint.measureText(text)
            canvas.nativeCanvas.drawText(
                text,
                0,
                text.length,
                size.width / 2,
                (size.height - height) / 2,
                paint
            )
        }
    }
) {}

自定义衡量系统

Users can now customize their measurement system in regional preferences within Settings. The user preference is included as part of the locale code, so you can register a BroadcastReceiver on ACTION_LOCALE_CHANGED to handle locale configuration changes when regional preferences change.

Using formatters can help match the local experience. For example, "0.5 in" in English (United States), is "12,7 mm" for a user who has set their phone to English (Denmark) or who uses their phone in English (United States) with the metric system as the measurement system preference.

To find these settings, open the Settings app and navigate to System > Languages & region.
