Google has just announced a new SDK that allows developers to build apps that work across Android and non-Android devices.
Google has launched a new cross-device software development kit that allows developers to build apps that work from computers, tablets, and smartphones.
The cross device software currently compatible with the Android 8 version will come later for Android smartphones and tablets, as well as non-Android operating systems.

It’s easy to start the app on another device without having to keep it open in the background.

With device discovery, you can find nearby devices to communicate with and connect to them wirelessly. Once the target application is downloaded, you are set to become productive from the get-go.
