Abstract
Methods and systems for generating and presenting one or more user interfaces on devices with foldable displays are described herein. An application, executing on the device, displays a first user interface on a first portion of a foldable display. The first user interface includes an indication of tasks for a plurality of applications hosted on a remote server. The application displays a second user interface on the first portion and a second portion of the foldable display when the device unfolded. The second user interface includes the tasks indicated by the first user interface. In response to receiving an input to initiate execution of at least one task, the application provides data to an application hosted by the remote server and associated with the at least one task. By adapting to the different displays provided by the foldable device, the application improves users' experiences with applications executing on the device.
