Google simply took the wraps off of the developer preview for “Android N,” the next version of android. Even better, it’s on the market currently. There are ton of latest options, as well as big one we’ve been wanting for a while: multi-window support for smartphones and tabs. Here are highlights from today’s announcement.
Run Multiple Apps Side by Side
The main headlining feature is multi-window support, that helps you to run multiple apps side-by-side within the same space. With android N, users are ready to launch and use multiple apps right next to every application. Google hasn’t given precisely how this will work , however the interface appearance very similar to Microsoft’s split-screen feature, 1st introduced in Windows 8.1. Apps will take up some of 1 facet of the screen, and therefore the app’s interface can adapt supported what quantity screen assets it’s given. On tablets, the split are left-to-right, however on phones the split are top-to-bottom, unless you rotate the cellphone into landscape mode, as seen above.
For now, Google says that developers can ought to modify the feature for his or her apps, which suggests multi-window can most likely solely add apps that expressly support it, or updated to support it. However, it may additionally mean that developers will build their apps to run a multi-window interface by default, or opt to control that components of the app are displayed. an activity in android cell phone will be whole or a part of the application style, thus it’s possible that developers may enable users to pin some parts of an app (say, one to do list out of a complete to do app, or simply one tab from a browser), however that’s simply speculation at the instant.
Picture-in-Picture Keeps Your Video Up and Playing When You Close an App
Google likewise particularly got out another "picture-in-picture" mode. In past when you utilized YouTube's multitasking video player on your cell or tablet, this will sound well known. Android N gives designers the choice to put exercises like recordings in an overlay that keeps running on top of whatever is left of Android. That implies in case you're viewing a film and need to check your email, or utilizing an Android-based TV gadget like a Mohu Channels (or possibly throwing video to your TV), you'll have the capacity to minimize a video while you retreat to the channel guide, or continue viewing while you select another thing to play.
Google particularly says this is valuable for TV gadgets, which means it's probable implied for Android TV more than anything. Be that as it may, it's vague if Google will permit this to be utilized on cellphones and tablets also. We're intersection our fingers for a YouTube-like video overlay that works in each application.
Reply to Any Notification Directly From Pull-Down Shade Feature
The most up to date adaptation of Android changes the notification shade once more, this time in a way that is super valuable. This most welcome change permits clients to answer to notifications from for all intents and purposes any application without closing the shade to begin with, or open an application to view them.
Hangouts has had a workaround that empowered a comparative quick reply feature, yet this one will be incorporated right with the shade itself. This new execution sounds like it will be significantly more like the way iOS notifications presently work.
Applications Can Bundle Notifications and Expand Them All Later
Android N will give programmers another choice for managing a surge of notifications from an especially chat application. Presently, when you get various notifications from the same application, they can be gathered together into an expandable "bundle." This may sound natural to Inbox users. The bundle will be spoken to as one single notification in the shade. To release all of them, you can swipe whole bundle away with one motion. On the other hand, you can utilize a two-finger gesture or tap an Expand catch to open the bundle and manage every notification exclusively. This will be helpful for applications that jump at the chance to send a huge amount of individual notification for each easily overlooked detail. I'm taking a gander at you, Facebook.
New Android Public Beta Program Gets You Access Over the Air, Without Being a Programmer
In ye long time past days, in the event that you needed to experiment with the freshest trial version of Android, you needed to download and install it. Presently, Google has another project called Android Beta, which will go live later today.
Basically signup and Google won't just push the Android N developer sneak peak to your gadget (accepting it's supported,) yet you'll consequently get updates as Google releases them. Probably, this is restricted to the devices Google as of now incorporates into its developer program. This year, that incorporates the Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus Player, Nexus 9, and the Pixel C. On the off chance that regardless you need to install Android N manually, you can download the preview images the ordinary way.
These aren't the main new features, yet they're the biggest ones. Google has additionally specified enhancements to Doze mode, another Quick Settings UI, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. We'll be jabbing around in the new form to check whether we can discover whatever else Google hasn't reported. Later today,i have an aide with data on every one of the ways you can install the Android N developer preview, so stay tuned.
