Away From Google I / O 2013 – All Androids Are The Same!
Website design By BotEap.comIntroduction
Website design By BotEap.comThere was a time when Google developer conferences buzzed around Google Maps, the web toolkit, etc. But from the last conference onwards, the spotlight was on Android and Chrome in that order. Perhaps the huge opportunity to rest on smartphones has sunk deep into Google. A fact recognized by Larry Page himself when he joked that he would like to run the company through his smartphone.

Website design By BotEap.comAs mentioned in the previous paragraph, Android fans see a silver lining in limited Android updates. Blogs are plagued with how features introduced as of this edition do not necessarily require an update to the operating system. It provides material for the deal, as the basic premise for changing the version of an operating system is to allow you to reproduce all applications, whether they are old or futuristic. The various versions and configurations (from individual mobile hardware companies like Samsung, HTC, Sony, etc.) of Android were creating considerable firewalls to update even Google’s proprietary applications; applications that provide the quintessential Android experience. Google, through its update of functions, effectively addresses the problem of fragmentation, since Google+, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Play, the applications that are present in Android from the Froyo versions onwards and Google Music All Access that are Presented can now reside in Froyo Versions onwards without the need for upgrade. It seems that the fragmentation problem has been solved hopefully.

The news is that Google plans to introduce Android Studio to replace the existing Eclipse development environment for Android applications. Google collaborated with JetBrains to create Android Studio. Of course, this development has some loose ends to work out, but Google feels that this IDE when released would help Android developers increase their productivity. Here’s how it might help:
- Combine the capabilities of Maven and Ant to create flexible, multi-flavored solutions.
- Excellent code editing capabilities, including searching for online resources and Android-specific customizations. It is powered by the advanced editor user interface that allows drag and drop widgets, simulate the output view on different hardware configurations, and even preview while editing in XML.
- Provides deep analytical ability to identify all types of errors
- It provides wizards based on preset templates and also access to other Google services.
- Provides easy migration of projects from Eclipse (as export) or import to Studio (of existing Eclipse IDE projects).
- Leaderboards: A maximum of 100 leaderboards, both public and social, are provided to allow developers to engage users by allowing them to compare scores with other players. Leaderboards are automatically created for daily, weekly, monthly, or custom versions.
- Reward System: Developers can reward users for participating in the game by providing standard or incremental achievements that can be viewed in a user interface. They can use the development consoles to monitor achievements.
- Google provides Cloud Saving APIs to save game state and settings to the cloud.
- Developers can allow users to invite other players to the game or play with random users with the maximum limit set at 4.
- to create alert filters for customers leaving a particular area
- alter location updates in response to the customer’s locomotion habit (such as walking, riding, or driving) (see Activity recognition API)
- add or remove geographic boundaries
