  • Publication number: 20240419292
    Abstract: Dynamically resizable UI views for electronic devices are disclosed. The dynamically resizable UI views may be UI views for widgets. In one or more implementations, an application provides, to a system process, multiple states for a user interface (UI) view for the application, and one or more transition definitions each defining a transition between two of the multiple states. When a user, or content of the UI view, triggers a change from one of the multiples states to another of the multiple states of the UI view, the system process may animate the change according to the one or more transition definitions. In one or more implementations, an application provides system animated transitions between application UI States, and provides application data to be displayed in the rendered UI view.

  • Publication number: 20240380735
    Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for application-specific network data filtering. Application-specific network data filtering may be performed by a sandboxed process prior to providing the network data to an application to which the network data is directed. Any malicious or otherwise potentially harmful data that is included in the network data may be removed by the application-specific network data filter or may be allowed to corrupt the application specific network data filtering operations within the sandbox, thereby preventing the malicious or harmful data from affecting the application or other portions of an electronic device. In one or more implementations, a first process such as an application-specific network data filtering process may request allocation of memory for the first process from second process, such as an application, that is separate from a memory manager of the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20230393699
    Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting live sessions on electronic device lock screens are disclosed. In one or more implementations, an application process provides, to a system process executing on a computing device, a user interface template, wherein the user interface template defines one or more pre-defined regions of a user interface view. The system process may subsequently receive additional data. The system process may render the user interface view on a lock screen of the computing device according to the user interface template, wherein the user interface view comprises the additional data included in the one or more pre-defined regions.
