Google has tried to make it easier for developers to build Android apps that connect to a range of devices.
According to The Verge, Google, in a Blogspot, explained that it was releasing a new cross-device SDK that contains the tools developers need to make their apps work well on Android devices, possibly Android devices. non-Android phones, tablets, TVs, cars and more.
The SDK is supposed to allow developers to do three essential things with their apps: discover nearby devices, establish secure connections between devices, and host an app's experience across multiple devices. According to Google, its multi-device SDK uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ultra-wideband to provide multi-device connectivity.

Google has outlined various use cases for its cross-device SDK on its documentation page and it looks like it could be useful in several scenarios. For example, it could allow multiple users on separate devices to choose items from a menu when creating a group meal order, saving them from having to hover their phones around the room.
It could also allow users to pick up where they left off in an article when switching from their phone to a tablet, or even allow passengers in a car to share a specific map location with the navigation system of the vehicle, The Verge reported.
It almost looks like a Nearby Share extension, which lets Android users transfer files to Chromebooks and other Androids. In April, Esper's Mishaal Rahman spotted an upcoming Nearby Sharing update that could let you quickly share files across devices where you're signed in to Google.
According to The Verge, the cross-device toolkit is currently available in a developer preview and currently only works with Android phones and tablets. Google eventually wants to expand support to "other Android surfaces and non-Android operating systems," including iOS and Windows, but it's unclear when that will happen.
