Android is moving in the right direction – check test release … – Antyweb

Google has decided to make a real surprise and recently made available an early version of the system, whose official launch will almost certainly during the conference I / O devices will have this fall. Thanks to this action Google drew all the attention on himself and I regard them as entirely appropriate, because the company of Mountain View could use a real element of surprise. Until now we did not know too many details about the next edition platform. Yes, they circled the net some assumptions, as always, but no concrete, which is based on reliable sources of information leaks is never received. The exception was the announcement of Google employees concerning mechanisms for multiple windows, which shared in the context of the tablet Pixel C.

not only is the system turned out to be a surprise, because the manner of its distribution as well. For the first time Google launched the beta program of the real, which, like those run by Apple and Microsoft, allows for convenient addition to the group of testers. Due to many factors range of devices supported by the program is not very wide, but the owners of these “development” models have reason to be happy – just one click and tumble enough to be able to personally check the first test release of Android N. Sam with the decision to install this early Release refrained quite a long time, but after the first favorable reviews I decided to verify the optimistic mood among testers.

Weighing more than 1 gigabyte update is available for download literally several seconds after it will report our test facility. Sam download and installation process runs smoothly and fairly quickly, so after a few minutes we can enjoy (?) With the possibility of testing the effects of recent actions Googlers. After upgrading to Android devices N are stored all of our data, applications and settings, but return to the stable version of the system will unfortunately require completely clear the memory of the device. Among other things, because of this still I did not do it. But there are important reasons for not wanting to return to “Foam”.

Prime Minister Androi N is still very distant, and I believe that at the moment of presentation Google wants to leave a few bites, which we will not know before. So altogether, the current edition of Android N does not contain so many changes and news, but they are so noticeable that within tens of hours to use the system very quickly to them tied.

I would like to start by changes in the notification center, because the strap with quick settings is now a standard element. Present there icons can customize according to your needs, as well as in the panel with quick settings, which now has the option to scroll horizontally. Instantly I appreciated this change, and I hope to major reshuffles in this area no longer happen.

developing the upper beam is impossible not to notice changes in the appearance of a solid notifications. They have been deprived of a kind of 3D effect and are now completely “flat”. This reflected negatively on their clarity and readability, but one can assume that this is not yet the final version of their appearance. It is therefore important to focus on something else – response functions directly from a notification, which was finally implemented in the same system. At the same time Google is finished disputes nod to the developers, because this is the same solution that allows service response on devices with Android Wear – if the application implements this function, the application developer is not required longer interference in the code.

If Google does not przearanżowałoby the contents of the system Settings, then obviously it would not be him. The company decided once again to introduce a new law and order, which in turn has obviously allow for easier and faster management system functions. The new system really to my liking, like always available, sliding from the left side navigation panel allows far more efficiently moved to another section of the settings.

The most interesting and arousing the strongest emotions function Android N can be regarded as an option screen sharing between applications. We do not show them more than two, but now this solution shows the possibilities, which some (most?) Dreamed for a long time. Of course, at the moment, the system does not verify that the application supports the display mode, so run this way every installed program. Another thing is that often the interface is unnaturally scaled, leading to errors. Google has provided even a situation where we want to move the text and picture from one running application to another – then simply apply the method of “drag and drop”. The “multiwindow” activate by holding your finger on “the square” or drag the application in the upper part of the screen in view of multitasking.

Of all the innovations and improvements that I liked the most, which is not visible at first glance. Talking about the possibility of rapid switching between the two most recently used applications. Double slump in the “square” will cause quick “jump” from one to the other, and this is significantly more enjoyable and faster to work with applications.

In my case, Android N needed several hours to recover. Although still not on par with the performance and stability of the stable release of Android, it will remain at a test version for as long as I can. I have not found yet on the application for which you work in a new environment would be an obstacle, which can be regarded as a silent success of the team responsible for the development of Android. What is the future Android N? With a huge desire to convince and now I look forward to the next test release.
