To build an app for Fire tablets, this tutorial uses Google Jetpack Compose to design and implement layouts that adjust themselves to render content across a variety of sizes and device orientations.
The example features a single code base that can be used on Android and the Amazon Appstore.
Developers can check if the app uses Google Play Service and/or Amazon Appstore.
To display an app's status, images can be added. The tutorial makes use of pet photos to indicate whether Google Play Service is available and/or if the app was installed from the Amazon Appstore.
Calculating the window size class can determine whether the device is on landscape or portrait mode. Based on the result, the image and text can be placed accordingly.
This tutorial provides a basic understanding to check the app status and implementing designs for Fire tablets.
Developers can easily build and test their apps using the sample code and running it either on emulator or on their own Fire tablet.
