As part of its flip-flop initiative, Google also runs in native desktop mode for Android through support for multiple screens (and external).
Office modes, such as Samsung Dex, have been available for several years and, as always, Google is now considering doubling these features on Android with the originals.
Andrii Kulian Google, software engineer in the Android window manager structure The team working on several screens analyzed in detail this function in a session entitled "Making applications to fold, multiple screens and widescreen peripherals".
"Folding phones can have multiple screens, but you can also find multiple screens in the car, on phones that are connected to larger screens in desktop mode, on Chrome OS, etc.," he wrote.
Google added support to show external screen keyboards and support for third-party launchers on secondary screens.
The application must support many events and developers can now test their applications on the secondary screen by activating "Forced Office Mode".
If you have Google Pixel, you can try Desktop Mode by activating Simulation Display in Developer Options. On other devices that support HDMI display, you can try desktop mode if you have a USB-C adapter to HDMI. In Essential Phones, the new desktop mode on Android Q only appears when connected to the monitor.
