In this technological world the rumor mill is something that a lot of attention, a big company announces a significant development and course days before launch still know so little. This that we hardly think of is what is happening with announcement by Google of the next version of Android 4.4 KitKat and how much they know about it .
leaked some things, many of them with questionable and that we do not trust, and how little we know even less has been confirmed. This on one hand we love to be the case, we create both a sense of massive ignorance. But not bad, see if we can finally find out about new products that are advertised on.
recap a little about what has been filtering on Android 4.4 Thanks to a post on Reddit we can go back a few days until September 13 when Ausdroid said that this new version of Android would present October 14. This is not the only important part, since among other novelties spoke of new APIs related to animations . This happened a little unnoticed and was not too interested, but would be real major changes and great for Android .
Well, Matias Duarte has shared a special Fast Company magazine dedicated them with the suggestive title header Google: The Redesign , ie Google: The Redesign . We can not deny that attracts attention, and indeed the article very interesting data reveal facing the near future Google .
I recommend that you read the entire article here, but copy the part that interests us now in which Sundar Pichai interview :
Google’s long-term goal for Improving Android and Chrome runs along same lines. After Enhancing its own apps, Pichai says That Google will now focus on making its platforms present what I calls “design opinions” So THAT third-party apps will Achieve design consistency across Android and Chrome. “When you click on something in an app and the screen transitions,” Pichai asks, “is there a consistent way it happens? Is there the right amount of ‘That physics’in an animation so it makes sense for users on an intuitive level? If the platform Provides for that transition and it naturally Becomes to adopt it for apps, all Android apps more gratifying Will Become. In That Way We Can Achieve beauty and users Might not even notice it’s happening. “
That could translate as:
ultimate goal of improving Google Android and Chrome follows the same lines. After improving their own applications, Pichai said that Google will focus on making their platforms present in what he calls “design reviews” so that third party applications can be adapted to design consistency Android and Chrome. “When you click on something within an application and there is a screen transition,” says Pichai, “it does so consistently? Is there a physical right amount of animation to be meaningful to the user on an intuitive level? If the platform facilitates these transitions and becomes natural to adopt applications, all applications on Android will be more rewarding. That way we can get beauty and users will not even know it’s happening. “
terms Pichai here is to achieve uniformity in all use Android . When we drive the operating system found a uniformity that gives a sense of proper use, as is the case when we use Google applications. But this consistency is broken when we opened third-party applications , creating the feeling of doing two different things.
This is actually what happens with almost any operating system and applications are creating their work and developers, who choose how to do things. Google search for Android that developers have easy access to animations and transitions native Android to create greater integration with the entire operating system and that this results in more natural use.
This will facilitate
animation APIs , and this raises a new step for Android from 4.4 KitKat, fully oriented design and a much more consistent . I do not know about you, but to me this I find it very interesting and exciting. Watch a uniform operating system so it will be great, but we can not forget that something entails its dangers. We’ll see how it evolves and carries fruition, but the announcement of Android 4.4 looks increasingly more interesting.
How about that? Do you think that’s good news or you see any downsides?
