With more than half of Android users waiting around the world Your calls are finally updated to Android 10, Google has decided to introduce the first version of the developer which will be the next major update for the app: Android 11.
Like any previous version, Android 11 developer preview it is simply: the first version aimed at developing new and innovative engineers APIs and facilities in the system, and – although possible – – it is not recommended to install on those phones that are intended to be used daily, due to potential problems.
But other than the simple trial version, the arrival of Android 11 Preview 1 can be enjoyed by dozens of fans of Android's green operating system, year after year waiting tirelessly news introducing each new type of operating system. And right this year, there they are several important changes which we will see over the next few months as progress unfolds until the final type:
No more disconnect from Bluetootj devices when flight mode is activated
We have no idea how far why did this work take so long to be used, but it's finally here. And that's what matters.
With Android 11, Google has done just that enable flight mode, Bluetooth communication is always working there Is there a connected device and content is playing?. This way, even if you make this option while listening to music with your Bluetooth headset, you won't suffer.
A new Bluetooth "engine" with more history
The Android problems with Bluetooth connection They are almost as old as the app itself. And it's true that Google has been improving the robustness and power of this technology over the next few years, but the fact that its functionality continues to be lacking is often craved.
So instead of continuing to work on trying to improve the software for several years after it, Google decided to return to the work table on it developed what is commonly known as the new “battery” Bluetooth.
Specifically, we are talking about the operating system software responsible for managing everything needed to operate Bluetooth communication. Almost since the launch of the app, Android has used a "battery" with the name "Fluoride", but this year the company decided that it's time to make a new software application: "Gabeldorsche".
Under this unique name – a more meaningful or less logical choice, though it may not seem to be – there is a "Bluetooth stack" that Google has invented for over a year, and what ideas we should come up with based on the robustness and consistency of Bluetooth communication.
To know the origin of this seemingly bizarre name, we need to go back a few years ago Specifically, until the year 958, when Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsonn took his father's place as king of Denmark and, for a time, and as king of Norway. Nine hundred years later, the company Nokia He honored Harald's name using the term "Bluetooth" to give life to the wireless communication technology we all know and use today.
And how does this relate to the new Bluetooth "battery" for Android? If we go back to Harald's time, we know that After 28 years, his son, Sweyn ForkbeardHe succeeded him as king. Also surprise, the name "Gabeldorsche" used by Google is a German word for the category of fish … called "Forkbeards".
In short, what Google wants to represent with this most popular name is "Gabeldorsche" replaces the Bluetooth "engine" of Android, just as Sweyn Forkbeard did in 986 to his father Harald Gormsonn, the originator of the Bluetooth technology.
Leave your bag at home: access your documents immediately
The future when possible forget the bag here at home and don't regret it too close. Android 11 will introduce a option for quick access cards, passes and documents stored on Google Pay using a long press on the mobile on / off button.
This, in addition to support for the official credentials that will come with this version of the system, means that in most cases, it will Carry IDs, driver's licenses or passports straight to mobile. Now alone we must wait for the law to change in order for these visual documents to work. And I'm afraid that, if we knew that, Google could do less.
More and more changes in body movement
Android 10 was the first version of the application to launch a fully-rooted application for navigation. Just keep quiet trouble with that formatted navigation app was based on side menus, because while using this touch, it was not possible to display these options panels to move from left to center of the screen -This action is reserved for action go back**.
And while Google already offers app developers APIs to allow touch navigation not to conflict with the sidebars of their apps, Android 11 is introduced options to change the sensitivity of the artery to the sides of the screen, to make it easier to open this type of menus in that non-option menu to exceed the limit presented by Android 10.
Notifications are more organized
Notification management returns to receive a face-lift on Android 11. From now on, in addition to the existing categories in the notifications panel, a new category called "Conversations", will appear, where it will appear. Notifications from conversations for which messaging app.
In a sense, moreover, Google finally uses floating bubbles in all messaging applications, the function that was first introduced in the program on Android 10, but which will be automatically enabled for the first time from API 30 compatible Android 11 program.
Security and privacy by flag
No wonder all new versions of Android are launching new options and activities focused on maintaining privacy and to maintain the integrity of user data. In Android 11 several are introduced.
The first is that grant permissions to use simultaneously from programs installed on the device to access the location, microphone or camera. If you use this function, the next time the application is open, the necessary permissions will be requested again.
On the other hand, the system "Dead Storage"
In addition, in terms of security, improvements have been made to BiometricPrompt API, so that developers can now easily support biometric systems such as the Google Pixel 4 face recognition technology.
Things that are renewable with Google Play
When Google announces Projectlineline, a program that contains "modularizing" an app to allow for some of the key features may be update with Google Play, thus preventing producers from developing and submitting complete OTA reviews, there were only a few. development modules in the app store.
For Android 11, though number of modules up to twelve, so that additional features of the operating system can be updated with Google Play, thus accelerating the arrival of new features and security improvements to all devices.
These are some the most important news we expect from Android 11. Do not forget that, although the list of changes that first occur to developers is plentiful, a number of exciting features will not be announced until Google I / O 2020 next May, when Google will take the opportunity to launch the program. the first open beta type for Android 11.
