行為變更:指定 Android 16 以上版本的應用程式

和先前版本一樣,Android 16 也包含可能會影響應用程式的行為變更。以下行為變更僅適用於指定 Android 16 以上版本的應用程式。如果您的應用程式指定 Android 16 以上版本,建議您視情況修改應用程式,以支援這些行為。

此外,無論應用程式的 targetSdkVersion 為何,請務必查看對所有 Android 16 應用程式有影響的行為變更清單。

使用者體驗和系統 UI

Android 16 (API 級別 36) 包含下列變更,旨在打造更一致、直覺的使用者體驗。

無邊框停用選項即將移除

Android 15 enforced edge-to-edge for apps targeting Android 15 (API level 35), but your app could opt-out by setting R.attr#windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement to true. For apps targeting Android 16 (API level 36), R.attr#windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement is deprecated and disabled, and your app can't opt-out of going edge-to-edge.

  • If your app targets Android 16 (API level 36) and is running on an Android 15 device, R.attr#windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement continues to work.
  • If your app targets Android 16 (API level 36) and is running on an Android 16 device, R.attr#windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement is disabled.

For testing in Android 16, ensure your app supports edge-to-edge and remove any use of R.attr#windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement so that your app also supports edge-to-edge on an Android 15 device. To support edge-to-edge, see the Compose and Views guidance.

必須遷移或選擇停用預測返回手勢

For apps targeting Android 16 (API level 36) or higher and running on an Android 16 or higher device, the predictive back system animations (back-to-home, cross-task, and cross-activity) are enabled by default. Additionally, onBackPressed is not called and KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK is not dispatched anymore.

If your app intercepts the back event and you haven't migrated to predictive back yet, update your app to use supported back navigation APIs, or temporarily opt out by setting the android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback attribute to false in the <application> or <activity> tag of your app's AndroidManifest.xml file.

The predictive back-to-home animation.
The predictive cross-activity animation.
The predictive cross-task animation.

已淘汰並停用 Elegant 字型 API

Apps targeting Android 15 (API level 35) have the elegantTextHeight TextView attribute set to true by default, replacing the compact font with one that is much more readable. You could override this by setting the elegantTextHeight attribute to false.

Android 16 deprecates the elegantTextHeight attribute, and the attribute will be ignored once your app targets Android 16. The "UI fonts" controlled by these APIs are being discontinued, so you should adapt any layouts to ensure consistent and future proof text rendering in Arabic, Lao, Myanmar, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Telugu or Thai.

elegantTextHeight behavior for apps targeting Android 14 (API level 34) and lower, or for apps targeting Android 15 (API level 35) that overrode the default by setting the elegantTextHeight attribute to false.
elegantTextHeight behavior for apps targeting Android 16 (API level 36), or for apps targeting Android 15 (API level 35) that didn't override the default by setting the elegantTextHeight attribute to false.

核心功能

Android 16 (API 級別 36) 包含下列異動項目,這類變更會修改或擴充 Android 系統的各種核心功能。

固定費率工作排程最佳化

Prior to targeting Android 16, when scheduleAtFixedRate missed a task execution due to being outside a valid process lifecycle, all missed executions immediately execute when the app returns to a valid lifecycle.

When targeting Android 16, at most one missed execution of scheduleAtFixedRate is immediately executed when the app returns to a valid lifecycle. This behavior change is expected to improve app performance. Test this behavior in your app to check if your app is impacted. You can also test by using the app compatibility framework and enabling the STPE_SKIP_MULTIPLE_MISSED_PERIODIC_TASKS compat flag.

裝置板型規格

在大型螢幕裝置上顯示時,Android 16 (API 級別 36) 會對應用程式進行下列變更。

自動調整式版面配置

With Android apps now running on a variety of devices (such as phones, tablets, foldables, desktops, cars, and TVs) and windowing modes on large screens (such as split screen and desktop windowing), developers should build Android apps that adapt to any screen and window size, regardless of device orientation. Paradigms like restricting orientation and resizability are too restrictive in today's multidevice world.

Ignore orientation, resizability, and aspect ratio restrictions

For apps targeting Android 16 (API level 36), orientation, resizability, and aspect ratio restrictions no longer apply on displays with smallest width >= 600dp. Apps fill the entire display window, regardless of aspect ratio or a user's preferred orientation, and pillarboxing isn't used.

This change introduces a new standard platform behavior. Android is moving toward a model where apps are expected to adapt to various orientations, display sizes, and aspect ratios. Restrictions like fixed orientation or limited resizability hinder app adaptability. Make your app adaptive to deliver the best possible user experience.

You can also test this behavior by using the app compatibility framework and enabling the UNIVERSAL_RESIZABLE_BY_DEFAULT compat flag.

Common breaking changes

Ignoring orientation, resizability, and aspect ratio restrictions might impact your app's UI on some devices, especially elements that were designed for small layouts locked in portrait orientation: for example, issues like stretched layouts and off-screen animations and components. Any assumptions about aspect ratio or orientation can cause visual issues with your app. Learn more about how to avoid them and improve your app's adaptive behaviour.

Allowing device rotation results in more activity re-creation, which can result in losing user state if not properly preserved. Learn how to correctly save UI state in Save UI states.

Implementation details

The following manifest attributes and runtime APIs are ignored across large screen devices in full-screen and multi-window modes:

The following values for screenOrientation, setRequestedOrientation(), and getRequestedOrientation() are ignored:

  • portrait
  • reversePortrait
  • sensorPortrait
  • userPortrait
  • landscape
  • reverseLandscape
  • sensorLandscape
  • userLandscape

Regarding display resizability, android:resizeableActivity="false", android:minAspectRatio, and android:maxAspectRatio have no effect.

For apps targeting Android 16 (API level 36), app orientation, resizability, and aspect ratio constraints are ignored on large screens by default, but every app that isn't fully ready can temporarily override this behavior by opting out (which results in the previous behavior of being placed in compatibility mode).

Exceptions

The Android 16 orientation, resizability, and aspect ratio restrictions don't apply in the following situations:

  • Games (based on the android:appCategory flag)
  • Users explicitly opting in to the app's default behavior in aspect ratio settings of the device
  • Screens that are smaller than sw600dp

Opt out temporarily

To opt out a specific activity, declare the PROPERTY_COMPAT_ALLOW_RESTRICTED_RESIZABILITY manifest property:

<activity ...>
  <property android:name="android.window.PROPERTY_COMPAT_ALLOW_RESTRICTED_RESIZABILITY" android:value="true" />
  ...
</activity>

If too many parts of your app aren't ready for Android 16, you can opt out completely by applying the same property at the application level:

<application ...>
  <property android:name="android.window.PROPERTY_COMPAT_ALLOW_RESTRICTED_RESIZABILITY" android:value="true" />
</application>

健康與健身

Android 16 (API 級別 36) 包含下列與健康和健身資料相關的變更。

健康與健身權限

For apps targeting Android 16 (API level 36) or higher, BODY_SENSORS permissions use more granular permissions under android.permissions.health, which Health Connect also uses. As of Android 16, any API previously requiring BODY_SENSORS or BODY_SENSORS_BACKGROUND requires the corresponding android.permissions.health permission instead. This affects the following data types, APIs, and foreground service types:

If your app uses these APIs, it should request the respective granular permissions:

These permissions are the same as those that guard access to reading data from Health Connect, the Android datastore for health, fitness, and wellness data.

Mobile apps

Mobile apps migrating to use the READ_HEART_RATE and other granular permissions must also declare an activity to display the app's privacy policy. This is the same requirement as Health Connect.

連線能力

Android 16 (API 級別 36) 的藍牙堆疊包含下列變更,可提升與周邊裝置的連線能力。

處理連結遺失和加密變更的新意圖

As part of the Improved bond loss handling, Android 16 also introduces 2 new intents to provide apps with greater awareness of bond loss and encryption changes.

Apps targeting Android 16 can now:

  • Receive an ACTION_KEY_MISSING intent when remote bond loss is detected, allowing them to provide more informative user feedback and take appropriate actions.
  • Receive an ACTION_ENCRYPTION_CHANGE intent whenever encryption status of the link changes. This includes encryption status change, encryption algorithm change, and encryption key size change. Apps must consider the bond restored if the link is successfully encrypted upon receiving ACTION_ENCRYPTION_CHANGE intent later.

Adapting to varying OEM implementations

While Android 16 introduces these new intents, their implementation and broadcasting can vary across different device manufacturers (OEMs). To ensure your app provides a consistent and reliable experience across all devices, developers should design their bond loss handling to gracefully adapt to these potential variations.

We recommend the following app behaviors:

  • If the ACTION_KEY_MISSING intent is broadcast:

    The ACL (Asynchronous Connection-Less) link will be disconnected by the system, but the bond information for the device will be retained (as described here).

    Your app should use this intent as the primary signal for bond loss detection and guiding the user to confirm the remote device is in range before initiating device forgetting or re-pairing.

    If a device disconnects after ACTION_KEY_MISSING is received, your app should be cautious about reconnecting, as the device may no longer be bonded with the system.

  • If the ACTION_KEY_MISSING intent is NOT broadcast:

    The ACL link will remain connected, and the bond information for the device will be removed by the system, same to behavior in Android 15.

    In this scenario, your app should continue its existing bond loss handling mechanisms as in previous Android releases, to detect and manage bond loss events.

移除藍牙配對的新方式

现在,以 Android 16 为目标平台的所有应用都可以使用 CompanionDeviceManager 中的公共 API 解除蓝牙设备配对。如果配套设备作为 CDM 关联进行管理,则应用可以在关联的设备上使用新的 removeBond(int) API 触发蓝牙配对的移除。该应用可以通过监听蓝牙设备广播事件 ACTION_BOND_STATE_CHANGED 来监控配对状态变化。

安全性

Android 16 (API 級別 36) 包含下列安全性異動。

MediaStore 版本鎖定

对于以 Android 16 或更高版本为目标平台的应用,MediaStore#getVersion() 现在将是每个应用的唯一标识。这会从版本字符串中移除标识属性,以防止滥用和用于指纹识别技术。应用不应对此版本的格式做出任何假设。在使用此 API 时,应用应已处理版本变更,并且在大多数情况下无需更改其当前行为,除非开发者尝试推断超出此 API 预期范围的其他信息。

更安全的意圖

The Safer Intents feature is a multi-phase security initiative designed to improve the security of Android's intent resolution mechanism. The goal is to protect apps from malicious actions by adding checks during intent processing and filtering intents that don't meet specific criteria.

In Android 15 the feature focused on the sending app, now with Android 16, shifts control to the receiving app, allowing developers to opt-in to strict intent resolution using their app manifest.

Two key changes are being implemented:

  1. Explicit Intents Must Match the Target Component's Intent Filter: If an intent explicitly targets a component, it should match that component's intent filter.

  2. Intents Without an Action Cannot Match any Intent Filter: Intents that don't have an action specified shouldn't be resolved to any intent filter.

These changes only apply when multiple apps are involved and don't affect intent handling within a single app.

Impact

The opt-in nature means that developers must explicitly enable it in their app manifest for it to take effect. As a result, the feature's impact will be limited to apps whose developers:

  • Are aware of the Safer Intents feature and its benefits.
  • Actively choose to incorporate stricter intent handling practices into their apps.

This opt-in approach minimizes the risk of breaking existing apps that may rely on the current less-secure intent resolution behavior.

While the initial impact in Android 16 may be limited, the Safer Intents initiative has a roadmap for broader impact in future Android releases. The plan is to eventually make strict intent resolution the default behavior.

The Safer Intents feature has the potential to significantly enhance the security of the Android ecosystem by making it more difficult for malicious apps to exploit vulnerabilities in the intent resolution mechanism.

However, the transition to opt-out and mandatory enforcement must be carefully managed to address potential compatibility issues with existing apps.

Implementation

Developers need to explicitly enable stricter intent matching using the intentMatchingFlags attribute in their app manifest. Here is an example where the feature is opt-in for the entire app, but disabled/opt-out on a receiver:

<application android:intentMatchingFlags="enforceIntentFilter">
    <receiver android:name=".MyBroadcastReceiver" android:exported="true" android:intentMatchingFlags="none">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.example.MY_CUSTOM_ACTION" />
        </intent-filter>
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.example.MY_ANOTHER_CUSTOM_ACTION" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
</application>

More on the supported flags:

Flag Name Description
enforceIntentFilter Enforces stricter matching for incoming intents
none Disables all special matching rules for incoming intents. When specifying multiple flags, conflicting values are resolved by giving precedence to the "none" flag
allowNullAction Relaxes the matching rules to allow intents without an action to match. This flag to be used in conjunction with "enforceIntentFilter" to achieve a specific behavior

Testing and Debugging

When the enforcement is active, apps should function correctly if the intent caller has properly populated the intent. However, blocked intents will trigger warning log messages like "Intent does not match component's intent filter:" and "Access blocked:" with the tag "PackageManager." This indicates a potential issue that could impact the app and requires attention.

Logcat filter:

tag=:PackageManager & (message:"Intent does not match component's intent filter:" | message: "Access blocked:")

GPU 系統呼叫篩選

为了加固 Mali GPU 表面,在正式版 build 中,已弃用或仅用于 GPU 开发的 Mali GPU IOCTL 已被屏蔽。此外,用于 GPU 性能分析的 IOCTL 已限制为 shell 进程或可调试的应用。如需详细了解平台级政策,请参阅 SAC 更新。

此变化发生在使用 Mali GPU 的 Pixel 设备(Pixel 6-9)上。Arm 已在其 r54p2 版本Documentation/ioctl-categories.rst 中提供了 IOCTL 的官方分类。此列表将在未来的驱动程序版本中继续维护。

此项变更不会影响受支持的图形 API(包括 Vulkan 和 OpenGL),预计也不会影响开发者或现有应用。 Streamline Performance Analyzer 和 Android GPU 检查器等 GPU 性能剖析工具不会受到影响。

常见问题解答

  1. 此政策变更是否适用于所有原始设备制造商 (OEM)? 此变更将采用选择启用模式,但任何想要使用此强化方法的原始设备制造商 (OEM) 都可以使用。如需了解如何实现此变更,请参阅实现文档。

  2. 是否必须在 OEM 代码库中进行更改才能实现此功能,还是默认随新的 AOSP 版本提供? 平台级变更将默认随新的 AOSP 版本一起发布。如果供应商想要应用此变更,可以在其代码库中选择启用此变更。

  3. SoC 是否负责使 IOCTL 列表保持最新状态?例如,如果我的设备使用 ARM Mali GPU,我是否需要就任何更改与 ARM 联系? 各个 SoC 必须在驱动程序发布后根据设备更新其 IOCTL 列表。 例如,ARM 会在驱动程序更新时更新其已发布的 IOCTL 列表。 不过,OEM 应确保在 SEPolicy 中纳入这些更新,并根据需要将任何选定的自定义 IOCTL 添加到列表中。

  4. 此变更是否会自动应用于所有在售 Pixel 设备,还是需要用户执行操作来切换某些设置才能应用此变更? 此变更适用于所有使用 Mali GPU 的 Pixel 在售设备(Pixel 6-9)。用户无需采取任何行动即可应用此变更。

  5. 使用此政策会影响内核驱动程序的性能吗? 我们使用 GFXBench 在 Mali GPU 上测试了此政策,未发现 GPU 性能有任何可衡量的变化。

  6. IOCTL 列表是否需要与当前的用户空间和内核驱动程序版本保持一致? 是的,允许的 IOCTL 列表必须与用户空间和内核驱动程序支持的 IOCTL 同步。如果用户空间或内核驱动程序中的 IOCTL 发生更新,则必须更新 SEPolicy IOCTL 列表以保持一致。

  7. ARM 已将 IOCTL 分类为“受限”/“检测”,但我们希望在生产用例中使用其中一些,并拒绝其他 IOCTL。 各个 OEM/SoC 负责根据其用户空间 Mali 库的配置来决定如何对其使用的 IOCTL 进行分类。ARM 的列表可用于帮助确定这些值,但每个 OEM/SoC 的使用情形可能有所不同。

隱私權

Android 16 (API 級別 36) 包含下列隱私權異動。

區域網路權限

Devices on the LAN can be accessed by any app that has the INTERNET permission. This makes it easy for apps to connect to local devices but it also has privacy implications such as forming a fingerprint of the user, and being a proxy for location.

The Local Network Protections project aims to protect the user's privacy by gating access to the local network behind a new runtime permission.

Release plan

This change will be deployed between two releases, 25Q2 and 26Q2 respectively. It is imperative that developers follow this guidance for 25Q2 and share feedback because these protections will be enforced at a later Android release. Moreover, they will need to update scenarios which depend on implicit local network access by using the following guidance and prepare for user rejection and revocation of the new permission.

Impact

At the current stage, LNP is an opt-in feature which means only the apps that opt in will be affected. The goal of the opt-in phase is for app developers to understand which parts of their app depend on implicit local network access such that they can prepare to permission guard them for the next release.

Apps will be affected if they access the user's local network using:

  • Direct or library use of raw sockets on local network addresses (e.g. mDNS or SSDP service discovery protocol)
  • Use of framework level classes that access the local network (e.g. NsdManager)

Traffic to and from a local network address requires local network access permission. The following table lists some common cases:

App Low Level Network Operation Local Network Permission Required
Making an outgoing TCP connection yes
Accepting incoming TCP connections yes
Sending a UDP unicast, multicast, broadcast yes
Receiving an incoming UDP unicast, multicast, broadcast yes

These restrictions are implemented deep in the networking stack, and thus they apply to all networking APIs. This includes sockets created in native or managed code, networking libraries like Cronet and OkHttp, and any APIs implemented on top of those. Trying to resolve services on the local network (i.e. those with a .local suffix) will require local network permission.

Exceptions to the rules above:

  • If a device's DNS server is on a local network, traffic to or from it (at port 53) doesn't require local network access permission.
  • Applications using Output Switcher as their in-app picker won't need local network permissions (more guidance to come in 2025Q4).

Developer Guidance (Opt-in)

To opt into local network restrictions, do the following:

  1. Flash the device to a build with 25Q2 Beta 3 or later.
  2. Install the app to be tested.
  3. Toggle the Appcompat flag in adb:

    adb shell am compat enable RESTRICT_LOCAL_NETWORK <package_name>
    
  4. Reboot The device

Now your app's access to the local network is restricted and any attempt to access the local network will lead to socket errors. If you are using APIs that perform local network operations outside of your app process (ex: NsdManager), they won't be impacted during the opt-in phase.

To restore access, you must grant your app permission to NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES.

  1. Ensure the app declares the NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES permission in its manifest.
  2. Go to Settings > Apps > [Application Name] > Permissions > Nearby devices > Allow.

Now your app's access to the local network should be restored and all your scenarios should work as they did prior to opting the app in.

Once enforcement for local network protection begins, here is how the app network traffic will be impacted.

Permission Outbound LAN Request Outbound/Inbound Internet Request Inbound LAN Request
Granted Works Works Works
Not Granted Fails Works Fails

Use the following command to toggle-off the App-Compat flag

adb shell am compat disable RESTRICT_LOCAL_NETWORK <package_name>

Errors

Errors arising from these restrictions will be returned to the calling socket whenever it invokes send or a send variant to a local network address.

Example errors:

sendto failed: EPERM (Operation not permitted)

sendto failed: ECONNABORTED (Operation not permitted)

Local Network Definition

A local network in this project refers to an IP network that utilizes a broadcast-capable network interface, such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but excludes cellular (WWAN) or VPN connections.

The following are considered local networks:

IPv4:

  • 169.254.0.0/16 // Link Local
  • 100.64.0.0/10 // CGNAT
  • 10.0.0.0/8 // RFC1918
  • 172.16.0.0/12 // RFC1918
  • 192.168.0.0/16 // RFC1918

IPv6:

  • Link-local
  • Directly-connected routes
  • Stub networks like Thread
  • Multiple-subnets (TBD)

Additionally, both multicast addresses (224.0.0.0/4, ff00::/8) and the IPv4 broadcast address (255.255.255.255) are classified as local network addresses.
