Android 9.0 Pie. With this latest version of Android, a wide range of
enhancement can be seen in the Android
application development.
Every new Android
version builds upon the prior one, meaning that each new update is
superior than the previous one. However, how does Android Pie hold
up? How it is much better than the previous one? If these questions
are in your mind too, then do not worry! Here, I am going to discuss
everything that is new in Android 9.0 Pie, from updates, features and
who can use it.
Best Features in
Android Pie 9.0
Android Pie is a
major update for Android, so the Google decided to make it
extraordinary by adding beneficial features. Most of the features in

Adaptive Battery
and Adaptive features
This feature will
learn the apps you use over time and prioritize system resources to

Pie will ignore them until you actually open them. By this feature,
you get the most out of your battery and make it last for a longer
time.
Apart from that,
Android 9.0 now sports a new mechanism called ‘Adaptive Brightness’
that learns your preferred levels of brightness in different
surroundings. By tracking user-adjusted brightness, it will
automatically put the screen brightness levels for you.
Display Cutouts
Display cutout is
actually a feature with the help of which ‘notches’ are made in
the display areas of the Android mobile device. The new feature
include different types of cut out modes similar to narrow, tall, and
wide to suffice different notch dimensions.
App Slices
Another AI-based
feature is Slices which allows an app’s functionality to pop up on
the Google app when searched for. For example- If you searched for
Uber, you will quickly be able to request a cab to your location.
App Actions
The smartest feature
in the latest version is App Actions, which keeps an eye on your
actions and predicts actions you are likely to take next.
Indoor navigation
with Wi-Fi RTT
This new feature
facilitates indoor GPS style tracking by determining your position
within a building and facilitating turn-by-turn directions to help
you navigate indoors.
Smart replies to
notifications
Now, you will now be
able to reply to a message from the notification or enter any other
text.
Dashboard
Another feature is
‘Dashboard’ which breaks downs phone usage data to show how you
spend time on your device.
Wind Down Mode
You only need to
tell Google Assistant when you want to go to bed, and when that time
draws near it will turn on Do Not Disturb and switch the screen to
wind down mode.
BiometricPrompt
API
This feature allows
a system-managed dialog to prompt the user for any supported type of
biometric authentication.
Multiple Camera
API Support
Android P also has
come up with an enhanced API, which allows the user to call a local
camera stream that has the ability to switch in between the multiple
cameras.
Gesture
Navigation
Android 9 Pie
introduces the gesture navigation system inspired by Apple’s iPhone
X. Instead of a three-button layout at the bottom, there is a basic
Overview mode is available which can be triggered by swiping up from
the bottom of the screen.
In addition to the
big changes found in Android Pie, there are tons of smaller elements
also scattered throughout the update. Some of them include Zoom
Pop-up, Do-not-disturb, built-in screenshot editors and ART
improvements. Also, you will love to know that Google’s added a ton
of new emojis in this latest version to keep your conversations
bright and colorful.
Who can install
this update?
If you are curious
about trying out a slice, you will need to make sure you have the
right Smartphone. Right now, Android P beta version is only available
only on a few smartphones which include Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL, Xiaomi
Mi Mix 2S, Sony Xperia XZ2, Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium, Vivo X21, Pixel
/ Pixel XL, Oppo R15 Pro, Essential Phone, Nokia 7 Plus and OnePlus

development companies across the world are always trying to build
mobile apps that can work easily on Android versions. By considering
the features of Android P, it would not be wrong to say that the work
