Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recently used | Choose recently used when a meaningful use event should create a temporary return shortcut for the current user. | A qualifying use event writes or updates a recent-use entry for the current user and declared scope. | Android documents recent accessed tasks users can resume or remove, with least-recently-used limits. |
| Recently viewed | Choose recently viewed when the destination set should come from items the current user personally opened, not from editorial curation, hierarchy, popularity, or recommendation models. | Opening an item from the list navigates to that exact item and moves it to the top of the recent list. | Android Recents provides resume, remove, and least-recently-used limits for recently accessed tasks. |
