Does Android Oreo 8.0 Develop More Compatible Applications?

This August, Google has made an official announcement for Google Android 8.0 Oreo. It has some new features which helps developer to develop an application in a very compatible way.

Let us have discussion on that

• The new Android 8.0 ‘Oreo’ has several new features amongst which there is a feature known as picture-in-picture which allows two apps to be used simultaneously. Probably the best feature that they have brought to the new OS is the ability to directly teleport into new apps from the browser on instead of installing the app.


• While powering up, the user will notice that the boot time is almost half as compared to the previous version.


• All the Android developers may now provide a full-bleed square shaped icon and OEMs will mask the icon to ensure intra-device consistency.


• The accessibility button enables fast access from the navigation bar. This service can optimize the audio experience for users with incapacities.


• Applications no longer essential to package custom fonts, which helps decrease their size.


• Users may exercise more device over how apps run in the background for improved overall system presentation.


• Users may now exercise more rough and reliable control over which notifications may look and how disturbing they are.


• It allows applications to reduce comfortable graphic content with more lively colors and subtle inclines. The OS chains full-color management which agrees on applications to reduce images.


• The biggest change to the basics of Android to date is an advanced segmental building that creates it easier and faster for hardware makers to deliver Android updates.


• Support for tooltips is also delivered, which means users will be able to view minor popup windows with evocative text.


• The new updates let users hide notifications for a specific period of time, which is similar to Inbox snoozing.


• Android Developers may now let the size of their text increase or agreement automatically based on the size and characteristics of the TextView, making it much easier to optimize the text size.


• The pointer capture feature allows the app to capture all mouse input.

For instance, Picture-in-Picture allows for much better multitasking functionality.

Other notable Android Oreo features include the following:

• Auto-Fill:

This feature allows apps to automatically fill in usernames to make signing into apps and services more efficient.

• Better cache data management:

Every app will have a cache data limit. Once the system wants to free up memory, it will repeatedly delete stored data from apps which have exceeded their limit.

• Smart Text Selection:

This feature will use machine learning to recognize commonly copied words and quickly copy them without having to select each letter or number of the intended selection.

• TensorFlow Lite:

This subsystem will help apps achieve significantly quicker by way of on-device appliance learning. This scaled-down version of Google's machine learning tool uses Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to improve the overall experience.

• Google Play Protect:

Start with Oreo, Android will include a real-time safety scanner that resolve scan all apps that originate from the Google Play Store.

• Google Play Console Dashboards:

This feature is designed for developers only. It will show presentation subject to help developers’ resolution problems with their apps.
