Android M’s official: a system to fix everything – Hypertext

It’s official. Google, with the help of Sundar Pichai, today announced the expected Android M in the Google I / O 2015, following the naming scheme launched last year with Android L, which later became Lollipop marketed as Android 5.0. With Lollipop, Google laid the foundation for graphical transform Android and functionally, but like almost everything new, hit the market, and continues to have failures and implementation problems. To this end certain drawbacks that solve for years add up. Android M is not a revolution, but is a system whose arrival celebrated even more than Lollipop, because, as I say, closes a circle on Android , as at the time did with Project Butter Jelly Bean. These are their news.



Permissions

Another big absent today. Layered customization such as Huawei or MIUI ROMs as Cyanogen already had access or long to be able to restrict application access to our address book, microphone or location. Disable such accesses not only it gave us more privacy control, but also more control over consumption. Android M officially incorporated last, a similar system . Works as in iOS, when an application requests the system to use one of the points contained in the permits, the system asks the user . Thanks Google.

Example of permits in WhatsApp.

Navigation Web: Chrome custom tabs

From now on, it will be Chrome tabs integrate into applications using integrated browser , as customers or clients Reddit Twitter. That is, unless we want to browse a particular website, it is rare for us to reopen the Chrome icon. We will open other apps.



App links

The system of linking links in Android, and related questions about what use application by default was, until today, a little cumbersome, except us to use as Fliktu added. From now may be a link with other applications without going through the annoying menu

Android Pay

As expected, Google has released an enhanced version of Google Wallet solution. You can read in-depth article by my colleague Javier Merchan on Android Pay.

Support for fingerprint sensor

It is a trend and Google was already taking to implement a system-wide. Different fingerprint sensors that manufacturers will implement

are supported, and best of all, Pay integrates with Android and many more applications , thanks to a new API for developers.

Improved energy management

Device Sync Activity It is to detect the times when the device is not used (at night, for example, or during working hours or class) and passed to a low power mode automatically (Doze). So models like the Nexus 9 double their autonomy at rest . It is a very important aspect, and they are not few users that their devices work and communicate prevent problems of autonomy. Fast charging is also implemented through USB Type-C.

In addition to all these great new features in Android M have improved Google Now, as Now on Tap , which performs searches and helps us in terms of our context. Also we see a enhanced sound control and many smaller additions that soon discuss.
