Google has kicked off its Android Dev Summit today at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, and we have been given a smuggle pinnacle at some of the topics and stun announcements.
The event looks set to be another influential one that will help to figure and navigate app change over the coming months and times. Focus is chiefly on accustoming makes with some of Android’s more recently added features and updates, though there are a few brand-new edicts and amazes being made as well — in particular the beta opening of Android Studio 3.3 today and official Chrome OS support for the IDE starting early next year!
This is the first Dev Summit in three years. Those not luck enough to attend in the flesh will be able to catch the whole concept live over at the Developers website, at the YouTube path( video attached below ), or at one of several livestream viewing gatherings( hangover antidote at the ready ).
There’s too public officials Dev Summit app, which in keeping with modern tendencies, is certainly also an instantaneous app.
In the meantime, here’s a run down of just some of the things being discussed over the two days 😛 TAGEND Key topics Kotlin
No large-scale startle now, Kotlin is the fastest growing conversation in terms of GitHub repositories, and is certainly now a major part of the Android platform since support was officially added to Android Studio in 2017.
Discussion will revolve around JetBrains’ release of the most recent Kotlin 1.3 and Android’s updated is supportive of several brand-new pieces via extensions and brand-new libraries.
Android Jetpack: Navigation and Work Manager
Jetpack stipulates developers with useful tools and APIs that accelerate development, measuring, and more, building on the installed Support Library. Google has launched that it will be discussing two brand-new Design constituents that represent life easier for devs: Navigation and WorkManager. The first helps implement navigation principles, even generating a Navigation Editor to let you easily blueprint and nip your sailing architecture with support for animations, easier modulations, and more. WorkManager meanwhile will make it easier to efficiently accomplish background projects, selecting the most appropriate solution for the machine being used.
Android App Bundles
Another hot topic in the world of Android development, app packets will too be coming some attention. Topics include support for uncompressed native libraries that perform evolution enormously easier while at the same time reducing app sizes. Dynamic feature modules let you laden any functionality on challenge with no need to keep one-time consume features installed on devices.
In-App Updates API
This new API will help developers to ensure that their useds are enjoying the latest different versions of their applications. It includes a flexible inform option, that will allow users to continue using the app while it downloads the updated information in the background. Like Windows … but hopefully a lot better. Good report for devs and users alike!
Android Studio
Several new features and modernizes are coming to Android Studio with the above-mentioned proclamation of Android Studio 3.3 beta and official Chrome OS support for the IDE. We’ll get some insight into what will come with 3.3, including the ability to build and deploy your regular app and instant app from a single Android Studio job, expending just a single Android App Bundle. That intends only one artefact will need to be uploaded. I’m starting to get the impression that Google wants us to use instant apps…
More to come
The Big G has promised some more advertisements and astounds, so ensure that you are tune in if you can — and check back here where we’ll be discussing all the most exciting developments. Developer developments.
