In wenigen Tagen werden interessierte User das Pixel und Pixel XL von Google erwerben können. Mit an Bord ist auch Android 7.1, welches einige Neuerungen/ Verbesserungen mitbringt. Noch im Oktober soll dann aber auch das Beta-Programm von Android 7.1 starten. Die Beta-Version bzw. Developer-Version wird im Oktober zunächst für das Nexus 5X, 6P und das Pixel C Tablet ausgerollt werden. Ende des Jahres folgen dann weitere Geräte wie das Nexus 6 und 9 oder der Nexus Player. Den Changelog von Android 7 1 inklusive der exklusiven Pixel Features könnt ihr HIER nachlesen.
Folgend noch weitere Details zu den Neuerungen:
"For developers, Android 7.1 adds new capabilities to help you drive engagement in your app and deliver an improved user experience, such as:
- App shortcuts API — lets you surface key actions directly in the launcher and take your users deep into your app instantly. You can create up to 5 shortcuts, either statically or dynamically.
- Circular app icons support — lets you provide great-looking rounded icon resources that match the look of Pixel and other launchers.
- Enhanced wallpaper metadata — lets you provide metadata about your wallpapers to any picker displaying the wallpapers as a preview. You can show existing metadata such as label, description, and author, as well as a new context URL and title to link to more information.
Android 7.1 also adds these much-requested developer features to the platform:
- Image keyboard support — expands the types of content that users can enter from their keyboards, letting them express themselves through custom stickers, animated gifs, and more. Apps can tell the keyboard what types of content they accept, and keyboards can deliver all of the images and other content that they offer to the user. For broad compatibility, this API will also be available in the support library.
- Storage manager Intent — lets an app take the user directly to a new Settings screen to clear unused files and free up storage space on the device.
