85.7 Summary

Dynamic feature modules allow an Android app to be divided into separate features which are downloaded on-demand when the feature is needed by the user. Dynamic feature modules can also be configured to be instant features. Instant features can be run without installing the app on the device and can be accessed by users either via a Try Now button on the app store page, or via a web URL.

Dynamic feature implementation involves splitting an app into a base module and one or more dynamic feature modules. New dynamic feature modules can be created within Android Studio, and existing modules converted to dynamic feature modules by making a few project configuration changes.

Once dynamic feature modules have been added to an app, the download and management of those modules is handled by the app via the SplitInstall classes of the Play Core Library.
