Android "O" is the codename of an upcoming release of the Android mobile operating system. It was first released as an alpha quality developer preview on March 21, 2017.
History
On March 21, 2017, Google released the first developer preview of Android "O",[1][2][3] available for the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus Player, Pixel C, and Pixel smartphone devices.[4] Google will release a total of four developer previews, with the second preview coming in May, the third in June, and the fourth in July, with a final, official release scheduled for the third quarter of 2017.[5] On its Program Overview pages, Google states that the first developer preview is considered alpha quality, with the upcoming second preview considered beta quality.[6]
Features
User experience
Notifications can be snoozed, and batched into topic-based groups known as "channels".[7][8] Android "O" contains integrated support for picture-in-picture modes.[9][10] Adding a custom ringtone, alarm or notification sound is simplified.[11][12] The "Settings" app features a new design, with a white theme and deeper categorization of different settings.[13][14] On the home screen, number badges can appear on app icons, indicating notifications.[13][15][16]
Platform
Android "O" will add support for Neighborhood Aware Networking (NAN) for Wi-Fi based on Wi-Fi Aware,[17] wide color gamuts in apps,[18] an API for autofillers, multiprocess and Google Safe Browsing support for WebViews, an API to allow system-level integration for VoIP apps, and launching activities on remote displays.[1] Android Runtime (ART) features performance improvements.[1] Android "O" contains additional limits on apps' background activities in order to improve battery life.[19] Apps can specify "adaptive icons" for differently-shaped containers specified by themes, such as circles, squares, and squircles.[20]
A hardware abstraction layer for low-level platform code provided by the vendors of a device's hardware, known as the "vendor interface", will be implemented on Android "O". The vendor interface is separated from the OS framework, and will be subject to a Vendor Test Suite (VTS) to ensure forward compatibility. This change is intended to streamline the process of developing and deploying updated versions of Android for third-party devices, as OEMs will only need to perform their nessecary modifications to the OS framework and bundled apps, removing the requirement to wait for a device's hardware supplier to adapt their platform-specific code to the new version.[21]
