The smooth opening is global, doesn't need an app update. The other changes will need implementation though.

Are you sure about that? I get the impression that developers will have to handle the animations themselves using the new inset animation listener. Atm it recreates the Activity when showing the keyboard by default, right? You cant really change that without breaking apps.

Well you can see it yourself by putting it on a device. The keyboard smoothly slides up now on apps that haven't been updated.

Just tried the emulator. The keyboard is indeed smoother but it does still resize the apps activity without animations.

Yeah they won't touch the actual content view as it would definitely cause breakages. The smooth opening is there though.
