Android 11 Exciting Features

One-time Permission:

Google focuses on protecting user’s data privacy. A step in this direction is the option of one-time permission. This means that the user will have a choice to allow data permission just once while using that application.

Aeroplane mode with Bluetooth on:

This sounds like an exciting update. The Android 11 OS will allow users to turn on their aeroplane mode and Bluetooth at the same time. Usually, when you switch on the aeroplane mode, the Bluetooth gets disconnected, and you have to turn it on again. But with this update, you don’t have to do that anymore.

Scrolling Screenshots:

A lot of times, we fail to take a screenshot when the screen is too big, or the image is large where we have to scroll down for the whole picture. In the new version, you can capture the entire image in a single screenshot by scrolling down your screen while screenshotting.

Recording without notifications:

This has happened several times, and it’s becoming problematic. Every time I start to record something, a notification pops up, and the sound gets recorded in the video/audio. Android 11 offers a feature where it automatically mutes the notifications while recording. This will give you better video quality.

Better Maps:

Android 11 has levelled up Google Maps, making it a fun journey. With innovative technologies like Artificial Intelligence and 5G network, you can see beyond the buildings. We still don’t have a clear idea of how it will work, but it sounds an exciting feature to be added in the update.

Voice Access updated:

In the previous Android versions, the voice access feature had a dedicated number for every action on the screen. You had to call out or speak that number for the phone to perform the respective function. But, now this has been improved. Say, you want the voice access feature to open Instagram for you. All you need to say is Instagram. The voice access will read what’s there on your screen and perform the respective action.

The new Android Studio 4.0

Version 4.0 seems to have a load of exciting features than the previous versions. The announcement for Android Studio 4.0 was made in May 2020. The innovative tools will prove to be game-changers for helping developers in designing an application. The developers will reap benefits from the improved CPU profiler and the option to use code completion in the code shrinking rules files. Let’s briefly have a look at the new features and improvements in the Android Studio 4.0.

Design:

• With the Motion Editor, creating motion animation becomes simpler. It allows a simple UI to create, edit and preview animations.
• It allows you to compare your user interface between several screen dimensions.
• It offers an improved real-time debugging experience.

Develop and Profile:

• The CPU profiler is redesigned to make an interface that is easier to navigate and helps understand the data.
• Clangd and Clang-Tidy are supported by default.
• The R8 rules include smart editing features for the code shrinker rules.
• The IntelliJ IDEA 2019.3 platform comes with improved performance.

Build:

• The new build analyzer will allow you to identify and analyze the bottlenecks in your build.
