Talking about the new generation Android OS Android L

Earlier today, Google released a new generation of Android operating system Android L. I was very surprised by the change in naming rules, before the outside speculation will be called Android5.0, but also give a name for a dessert. Because the Android operating system released so many official versions, has been named after the dessert, now directly with a l, and the previous style is greatly different, so people do not understand. But fortunately l very good remember, also very easy to catchy.

Looking at the new features of the officially announced Android L, there are several main points:

A New UI Design

Create a consistent experience across mobile and the Web with material Design, the new google-wide stand Ard.

A new UI design allows users to have a consistent experience between the phone and the Web page, which is not familiar with the material design, after all, has never had a UI. Since the introduction is the new Google-wide standard, it is estimated that this standard has been used in UI design for quite some time.

From the current UI picture, it is more beautiful than before.

a New Runtime

A new run-time art was adopted. In fact, it is not new, in the Android4.4 has officially appeared art, but is not the default option, the default option is still Dalvik, want to think of that time is to overdo it. In Android L, Art will debut as the default runtime. Can greatly speed up the APK run, the disadvantage is that the space will occupy more. This is because the immediate compilation of the previous Dalvik is changed to an advance compilation of art. About this section, in a previous blog post:

changes in the build tool chain in Android----LLVM weight increase

are described in detail. Google is also a move to completely solve the problem of Android running speed. After all, Dalvik is too old, too long, unable to bear the needs of the present.

Enhanced Notifications

Get control over where notifications appear, how they look, and how they sync to non-handheld devices.

Enhanced the message prompt function. The main thing here is to adjust the display function of the message prompt, the view effect, and how to communicate with the non-handheld device. This feature solves a lot of headaches, such as the game has a call message, such as the new message notification, will not interfere with the existing operation.

increased efficiency

Project Volta is we effort to make the platform energy efficient and to give are more control over resource usage.

Mainly Volta, a project similar to power management. It can turn on power-saving mode, reduce app power consumption, and also have a detailed historical electricity analysis display. In fact, the power-saving mode of this in many manufacturers themselves engaged in the Android system has been, but the official version of Android has not been.

The main introduction of the new features have so many, there are some other, such as can be set up in a certain situation without a password can open the mobile phone, easy to use in the home or some kind of trust under the environment and so on. Believe that when the real version is released, more features will be found.
