I just launched my first app. It’s a simple app that pops up a toast notification when hdr content is being played, kinda like TVs do

Hmm unfortunately it doesn’t work on my pixel 5 which is running android 16 and should be api level 36

Yes, it’s not an API issue, check my disclaimer in readme

Ah, maybe it could detect the api level, and show a generic error message if your api level meets the requirements but it still didn’t work.

Didn’t you see an “unsupported device” message?

Yeah but the learn more link points to the getHdrSdrRatio documentation which says available in api level 34. Maybe that can only show if you’re using <34

I’ve restricted the API to 34+ anyway.

Yes, sorry, it’s an Android limitation, only for s24 and later :((
