The group “lucky ones” who can today to install the latest test version of the Google platform for smartwatchy is quite narrow. First – this version is aimed primarily at developers, on the other hand – are supported currently only two devices: Huwaei Watch and the LG Watch Urbane LTE 2. It is also possible to run a virtual system on your computer, so if any of you really can not wait to contact with Android Wear 2.0, it is a solution.
When dealing with a new release of Android Wear impossible to miss the latest news in the appearance of the system. Settings have a new, rounded system, designed to make the traditional watches, while the main screen can now be more personalized. Speech naturally about the “complications” through which discs have a “replaceable” elements of the interface – in specific locations, users will be able to put the desired content, as a counter of missed calls, the current temperature or the number of steps defeated. But this is not the end – shield background, it is possible to place the selected photo or album cover of the currently playing track. Android Wear beginning to resemble a standard Android smartphone known, although I’m not sure if this is the right direction. To this question we will return.
Introduction of independence SmartWatch the phone also resulted in a completely new views, which will benefit developers are designing their applications. Components shares and navigation to enter the option to create a stand-alone program, within which users will be able to do much more than before. Known from the main screen panel pull-out from the top of the display will now serve to move between tabs within the application, and the list available to implement the action will be simple vertical vertical, which will replace the single icon through whom we passed in landscape orientation. On paper it looks pretty good, unfortunately the first relationship experienced users of Android Wear indicate that it is quite the opposite.
What’s more, developers will be able to implement support for gestures inside their applications – it’s very good news, because by movements of the wrist, you can quite comfortably navigate the interface not using the other hand. However, I suspect that we will have to wait for long time , before the news will go to third-party applications – in most cases is required for designing the navigation program from scratch.
Is the path of development Android Wear is appropriate? The platform Googlers have always appreciated the lack of unnecessary complexity interface, ease of use device with such a small screen has always been the highest priority. The actions of competitors, however, have forced Google to take steps that I personally still not quite like, but I completely understand the need to keep pace with rivals and if possible overtake them in some activities. Until there is given to me to check in practice, in everyday terms, how to present the results of work Google and developers, I will not prejudge the success or failure of the new version of Android Wear. So far Googlers let me down and may stay that way.
Which receive SmartWatch Android Wear 2.0?
