Google has announced the availability of the first developer preview release for Android 16, allowing developers to test their apps and prepare for upcoming updates.
The release cycle for Android 16 will include developer previews from Nov-Dec 2024, beta releases in Jan-Feb 2025, and platform stability by March-April 2025, ensuring ample testing time for developers.
Developers are encouraged to use the latest preview of Android Studio and compile apps against the newest SDK while utilizing the compatibility framework for testing new features.
To check for API levels efficiently, developers should employ the SDK_INT constant and the new VERSION_CODES_FULL enumeration to ensure compatibility with both major and minor releases.
