MetaVrx Layout SDK

Use the Layout SDK when a Standard Android app needs multiple app-owned panels on Meta Horizon OS. It preserves the app's existing Android UI framework. Do not add Meta Spatial SDK unless the app needs an immersive scene, 3D entities, or full environment control.

Choose the framework first

The app's UI framework dictates which set of references to continue with. The Jetpack Compose and React Native APIs are intended to strive for behavioral and conceptual parity across platforms.

Mental model

Compose:

setContent {
  SpatialScene(
      theme = { content -> AppTheme { content() } },
  ) {
    MainScreen()
    SpatialWindow(
        key = "details",
        modifier = WindowModifier
            .size(480.dp, 640.dp)
            .anchor(WindowAnchor.End),
    ) {
      DetailsScreen()
    }
  }
}

React Native:

import {SpatialSceneProvider, SpatialWindow} from '@metavr/layout-compat';

<SpatialSceneProvider>
  <MainScreen />
  <SpatialWindow
    label="details"
    windowWidth={480}
    windowHeight={640}
    anchor="end">
    <DetailsScreen />
  </SpatialWindow>
</SpatialSceneProvider>;

The main content remains in the app's system panel. Each SpatialWindow declares child content that the compatibility layer can promote into a separate panel when the platform supports it. Read the framework's placement reference for anchoring, semantic offsets, asynchronous promotion, priority, and fallback behavior.

• API reference
• Placement and fallback
• Lifecycle
• Theming
• Gradle setup

React Native

• API reference

• Package setup

An installed partner or internal tier may provide additional reference files. Use one only when its filename directly matches the requested capability.

For exact signatures and version-specific availability, use the SDK types and documentation shipped with the dependency, or metavr docs api-search "<Class>" for the indexed API reference.
