What is the replacemet of WindowInfoTracker in Mauii

Question

I am using WindowInfoTracker in Xamarin to detect if the device is foldable or not, and if it is foldable, I want to know if it is folded or half folded itc.

I don't see any replacement of this in Maui. If there is any alternative, I would like to know urgently.

If not, I would request the Xamarin team to release another version of Xamarin, while Maui catches up to all the things which are supported by Xamarin!

I feel that Maui is not practically ready to replace Xamarin, and Microsoft should not abandon Xamarin users dead in the water.

Hello,

WindowInfoTracker is a native Android API, which is from AndroidX. (AndroidX is a part of MAUI)

And you can invoke the platform code in your MAUI project directly by adding conditional compilation.

For example，

 #if ANDROID
            var windowInfoTracker = WindowInfoTracker.GetOrCreate(Platform.AppContext);
#endif

For more details, please refer to .NET MAUI invoking platform code - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn
