Dynamic graphical user interface previews

Abstract:

In some implementations, a computing device can present dynamic graphical user interface previews of an application on a display of the computing device. For example, cached graphical user interface (GUI) content can be dynamically generated in response to receiving application data update information for the corresponding application. The computing device can dynamically determine a portion of the cached GUI content to present on a display of the computing device. For example, the cached GUI content can be an image that is larger than the display of the computing device. The computing device can generate a GUI preview based a portion of the cached GUI content that fits on the display of the computing device based on an indication of which portion of the cached GUI content the user wishes to view and present the preview on the display of the computing device.
