Android Best Practises
- 1. Android New Features & Best Practices Ramesh Akula Email: ramesh.akula@ytrtech.com
- 2. Outline • Behavioural changes in Marshmallow & Nougat • Firebase • Provide Better User Experience
- 3. Marshmallow (6.0) • Runtime App Permissions • Fingerprint Sensors • Doze Mode • Now on Tap • Android Pay • USB Type-C
- 6. Fingerprint Sensors • With Android Marshmallow, Google has finally created a uniform standard for fingerprint sensors. That's good, because before Android Marshmallow, each manufacturer had its own software solution implemented into the system: uniform access to fingerprint sensors was therefore not possible.
- 7. Doze Mode • Google's crafty way of saving battery life is doze Mode. • This feature will be activated when the screen is turned off. Hence, it will save upon more battery
- 8. Doze Mode
- 9. Google Now on Tap
- 10. Android Pay • With Android Pay, Android does not store your real payment data, such as credit card numbers, but creates a virtual number for each payment method, meaning your data is always protected • When you combine it with Android Marshmallow's fingerprint scanning features, it looks as though this new mobile payment process is going to be more than capable of taking on Apple Pay
- 11. USB Type-C • This feature is more related to hardware than software, but in Android Marshmallow, Google has paved the way for the new USB standard: USB Type-C. With USB Type-C, you can use the USB connector in either direction inside the unit (it flips both ways), and use your smartphone to charge other, compatible devices. Expect to see this on a plethora of new smartphones and tablets in the future.
- 12. Nougat (7.0) • Multi Window • Notifications • Quick app switching
- 13. Multi Window • Split Screen is deservedly the highlight of Android Nougat. It’s almost like an app, floating around the screen. • Android TV gets picture-in- picture mode, allowing user to continue watching their show in a smaller screen while performing another task
- 14. Notifications • User can just reply to an incoming message without navigating from the notifications. • All messages from a specific messaging app are bundled together • Users can long press a notification and choose whether to block them or display them.
- 15. Design Library • Toolbar • NavigationView • Floating Action Button (FAB) • Snackbar • CoordinatorLayout • Bottom sheets • TextInputLayout
- 18. Firebase • Remote Config • Invite App • Deep Linking • App Indexing • Notifications (FCM) • Analytics
- 19. Others • Crash Reporting • Make content offline • On Boarding User experience
