Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for techniques to display rectangular content in non-rectangular display areas without clipping or cutting off the content. These bounding path techniques can be employed for electronic devices with rounded corners and for display of content within software windows for applications, in which the windows have non-rectangular corners. The techniques disclosed include content shifting, aspect fit, run length encoding and corner encoding. These techniques can be applied to both static content and for dynamic content. Memory optimization techniques are disclosed to reduce the memory requirements for encoding display bitmaps and for optimal performance. The run length encoding feature can reduce the time and decrease the memory requirements for determining a location where the content can fit within a viewable area of the display. The corner encoding technique provides for encoding areas with non-linear curves.

Abstract: The subject technology provides for detecting a drag gesture selecting an item in a first application. The subject technology detects a touch release at an end of the drag gesture for dropping the item in a second application. The subject technology sends in response to the detected touch release, a message to the second application, the message including information for a plurality of representations of the item. The subject technology receives, from the second application, a request for a representation of the item from among the plurality of representations. The subject technology sends, to the first application, the request for the representation of the item. Further, the subject technology initiates a data transfer of the representation of the item from the first application to the second application.
