Android 6.0 Changes

With new features and functions, Android 6.0 (API level 23) has made some changes in the system and API usage.

If we have released an app, we should pay attention to whether these changes will affect the running of the app.

RuntimePermissions

This is a new permission usage model. You can directly manage the permissions of an application while running the program. In the process of simplified installation and automatic upgrade, users are provided with transparent and controllable permission management methods.

Suggestion: even if your compilation target setting is not android6.0 (API23), you should test it in the new mode of 6.0.

In versions 6.0 and later, you must request permissions when running the program.

(1) checkSelfPermission ()

// Determine whether your program has permissions.

(2) requestPermission ()

// Request Permissions

Dozeand App Standby

Optimize the battery capacity of devices and applications to increase the endurance. Because this feature affects all applications, we recommend that you test the application on the 6.0 platform.

Doze: If the screen of a device is closed and in the static state, after a period of time, the device enters the Doze mode and tries to sleep the device. In this mode, the device is periodically restored to the formal State, so that the application can be synchronized, and the system can process some unfinished operations.

App Standy: when users are not actively using an application, App standby allows the system to leave the application idle by default. If the device is not connected to the power supply,

The system will disable network connection for the application, pause synchronization and other work content, and the application is idle.

To learn more about these power-savingchanges, seeOptimizingfor Doze and App Standby.

ApacheHTTP Client Removal

Android 6.0 removes the Apache Http support. If the app uses it and the version is later than or equal to Android, you can use the HttpURLConnection class. This Api is more effective because it reduces network usage and power consumption through transparent compression and response caching.

To continue using Apache Http APIs, you must

(1) declare in the buid. gradle file:

(2) introduce the jar package org. apache. http. legacy. jar.
