I believe some of the students have heard of the fire a few days ago a message, is Google to launch a brand-new operating system, named Andromeda, the new operating system integrates Android and Chrome OS, it is said that two hardware manufacturers have been developing based on The Andromeda system is scheduled to be available next year, and Android 8.0 will be integrated into the Andromeda.
And then on the Internet to see a bunch of media "goodbye android", "android crisis" and so on, and so on, resulting in these days a lot of readers in the background to my message, said it was ready to learn Android, and now work is not easy to find, the future of Android is worrying, do not know how to do , I hope I can give the answer, OK, then write an article next my opinion, after all, conscience Zhang!
What is Andromeda?
Before we start to figure out what Andromeda is?
According to Google, Andromeda is a combination of Android and Chrome OS operating system, support for computers, mobile phones, tablets and so on, see here, I understand the relationship between Android and Andromeda, with IOS and Mac Os,windo WS phone has the same relationship as Windows.
Compared to Microsoft and Apple,google in the desktop operating system has been a soft rib, but Google has not abandoned the dream, Chrome OS is Google's efforts to prove, but Chrome OS launched quite a long time, has been tepid, users do not Buy. But with Android shares crazy growth, according to data provided by Google, the mobile device domain Android system market share has reached 85%, basically in the market share, Android can be considered a monopoly, and this time the Chrome OS and Android integration launched a new System Andromeda, I personally think Google wants to borrow the momentum of Android to the desktop system to launch the impact.
In other words, I think Andromeda is for the PC, as is known, due to the limitations of mobile phone hardware, mobile devices must be lightweight system requirements, which is why Apple will be on the basis of Mac OS to launch a mobile device for IOS, so I think the launch of Andromeda will not be on Android The OID system caused much impact, the mobile side still can't change the dominance of Android.
But Andromeda can be done is still an unknown, this I think no one can predict the future, even Google itself is not clear, we can only continue to pay attention.
Impact on Android
Above we say Andromeda can be made is unknown, we may as well make a hypothesis.
Assuming Andromeda is made, and quickly occupying a place in the desktop OS, I think it's a great thing for Android development, because Andromeda is a consolidation of Chrome OS and Android, and it certainly supports Android apps, which Android developers are no doubt a new opportunity, whether it's a job or a development bonus is beneficial and harmless!
Assuming Andromeda is not done, then it doesn't matter to us, and when it doesn't exist, it doesn't have anything to do with Chrome OS.
My personal conclusion that Andromeda is for the PC, assuming that the Andromeda system optimization is very good, but also for mobile devices, then according to the above ideas, if not made no impact, if made, if supported by Android native development, then it will be a new opportunity, if not supported, Even if you want to learn a new language or a new platform, we have the foundation of Android Development, we believe that it is more advantageous than other platforms, learn faster.
So, in any case, the launch of the new system, Andromeda, is not a bad thing for Android development, and it may even breed new opportunities!
What's the future of Android?
Many students say that work is difficult to find, my previous article said more than once, the economic environment is very poor, every industry will be affected by each row, job scarcity, the demand for talent will be higher, relative to the impact of traditional industries, the Internet industry has been considered good, but no matter when, the demand for outstanding talent
There will always be, can not find a job in essence only say that your ability is not standard, if the first two years is a mobile development craze, and now is the normal market, if the blame is not in a good time, then this is the behavior of the weak.
Many people are concerned about the future of Android, and like to compare with iOS, I am an Android developer, objectively speaking, compared to iOS, I am more optimistic about Android, aside from the current market share data, I am optimistic about the main reason for Android is: compared to APPL E, I'm more optimistic about Google. There is no doubt that Apple is a great company, but I think it is a hardware technology company, relying on selling hardware products, and Google is an Internet technology company, is committed to change the future of human development of the company, has a good father, so I am optimistic about the future of Android!
Finally, we should be thankful for something new, because new things often mean new opportunities, negative people always see the risk, while positive people see the opportunity!
