Summary of Changes

Hello @alabiaga, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request updates the quick tiles sample application to incorporate the new category feature introduced in Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1. The changes involve updating the project's target SDK and adding a specific metadata entry in the Android Manifest to assign a 'Utility' category to the sample quick tile, demonstrating how to organize quick tiles within the system's Quick Settings edit interface.

Highlights

  • Target SDK Update: The targetSdk in build.gradle.kts was updated from 35 to 36, aligning the sample with newer Android API levels.
  • Quick Tile Categorization: A new <meta-data> tag android.service.quicksettings.TILE_CATEGORY with value android.service.quicksettings.CATEGORY_UTILITIES was added to AndroidManifest.xml to categorize the sample quick tile as a utility, reflecting the new feature in Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1.

For consistency with the rest of the file and for better readability, it's recommended to format the new meta-data tag and its preceding comment. This includes:

  1. Fixing the indentation within the XML comment.
  2. Clarifying the Android version in the comment to be more specific (e.g., using the API level).
  3. Formatting the meta-data tag to have each attribute on a new line, which matches the style of other meta-data tags in this file.
            <!--
                Categorize this tile as a Utility so that it's organized in that category in
                Quick Settings edit. Available in Android 16 (API level 36).
            -->
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.service.quicksettings.TILE_CATEGORY"
                android:value="android.service.quicksettings.CATEGORY_UTILITIES" />
