June 25, 2014 at 22:15Google I / O 2014. Day One
A true fan of the Android operating system knows what June of this year is really significant. Yes, today, June 25, a conference for I / O developers has started, organized by Google every year.
Google I / O, I recall, has been held since 2008. By tradition, it runs for two to three days at the Moscow Center Exhibition Center in San Francisco. It discusses the technical features of creating applications for Android, new features of the browser and Chrome OS, Google API, WebToolkit, App Engine, open web technologies and much more. Like the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which Apple holds in June, I / O serves as a platform for the announcement of new products and applications that we will learn about now.
Google decided to change the design of applications and make life easier for developers. Learn more at http://www.google.com/design/
Changed animations, fonts, shadows, added 3D effects and much more.
As well as other native applications. The design has become flatter, more like the LG G3 UI.
We changed the interface as a whole, the bottom buttons, the status bar, multitasking, the notification system.
The new keyboard.
Android finally abandons Dalvik in favor of ART. No one else to choose.
An example of a difference in performance.
Support for 64-bit CPUs in ART.
The Android Extension Pack should narrow the gap between mobile and desktop graphics.
Introduced a new project to improve battery life.
Battery Saver allows you to lower the processor clock speed and regulate other processes.
Tomorrow will be available SDK and images of Android L systems for Nexus devices
Innovation with every new version.
The latest version of Play Services is a good indicator, but it would be better if the latest version of Android had it.
In terms of security, there have been improvements. For example, in the case of theft, the smartphone can reset all personal information so that it does not fall into the hands of a stranger.
Google wants users to have the same experience across all devices.
Google Play services is a panacea against fragmentation. Security updates will occur through them.
3 months ago, Google released Android Wear and provided SDKs to developers. Both round (Moto 360) and square screens (LG G Watch) are supported. There is a built-in pedometer and heart rate sensor.
In general, people check the smartphone 125 times a day. And so, Android Wear with cards was released.
Using swipe, you can close applications and switch between them.
Sync with a smartphone. You can add a note, read the notification.
You can listen to music, answer a call, SMS, etc. There is a “do not disturb” mode with a simple movement.
Of course, you can manage notifications.
The SDK gives you access to many Android Wear features that allow you to replace your smartphone.
Moto 360.
You can choose a recipe and send it to your watch. All devices on Android Wear are waterproof, which will not create problems in the kitchen. There is a timer on the watch so as not to overcook the steak.

LG G Watch.
The LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live will be available today on the Google Play Store. Moto 360 will be available later, but in the summer.

Developers are also encouraged to create applications for Android Auto. Today they have access to the Android Auto SDK. More than 25 car manufacturers have confirmed their desire to work with Android Auto, the first cars will appear before the end of this year
Google sees great potential in the direction of the OS for TV. (This is the third attempt, by the way ...) Currently, TV manufacturers use different systems for their Smart TV, which impedes the development of the market.
New UI for TVs. The TV itself is looking for the right movie, shows actors, recommendations and a description.
The smartphone can be used as a remote control. You can manage for hours.
You can display an image, for example, the current game. All games from the Play Store appear on your TV - the graphics depend on the toys.

Chromecast supported.
Users responded well to this device. The device is already sold in 18 countries and has become a hit.

You can not only store information, but also analyze it.
Google helps its resources to large companies and services. Databases are easy to handle.
When searching for bugs, you can use Google resources.
The new analytical system allows you to work with huge amounts of data - Cloud Dataflow.
Google Fit Platform is a fitness platform. The user will be helped to better monitor their health status without additional third-party applications.
As a result, a lot of new things for different devices!
And a video showing the work of new products.
This is all cool, of course, but most of all I liked the performance of the protester, who accused Google of producing robots that kill people!
