Google's
recently introduced the revolutionizing and much awaited Android 4.4 KitKat. This
new development has stretched the horizons of choices available to user in the
field of applications. Users can now explore some never ever before features of
this amazing new offering from the web giant Google. The competition among
market leaders has heated up due to their attempts to match up to the AndroidKitKat 4.4.
This
is Google’s attempt at creating a more smooth and elegant operation for the
user in reference to both the launcher and the apps. This is the biggest change
so far been made to Android and is a reliable and efficient operating system that
is latest in every aspect. Some of its exceptional new features are:
Fresh Bluetooth Profiles – The
Android KitKat 4.4 provides the user two new Bluetooth profiles that allow apps
to support a vast range of low-power devices and interactions between various
media. The two new profiles are the Bluetooth HID over GATT (HOGP) providing a
low-latency connection with computer mice or keyboards and the Bluetooth MAP which
allows apps to link conveniently and quickly with nearby external devices.
Scene Transitions- A new
transitions framework comes incorporated in KitKat 4.4 with which developers can
animate between scenes at every instance when a user enters or exits a scene
within an application. Fading and resizing of the display and several other
animations have been made possible by using a Transition Manager which works according
to the view hierarchy of all applications.
Low-Power Sensors - Android
4.4 permits the accumulation and delivery of sensor data on any Android device
while the CPU can be on a low-power mode. This considerably improves the battery
life and also enhances the performance of sensor-driven applications.
Print API - Kitkat
enables Android to print content using a Wi-Fi setup or the cloud. Google has a
service for Android for the same purpose known as Google Cloud Print. If compatibility
issues arise, documents are converted into PDFs first.
Infrared Blasters- Android
enables application programming interface to tune into a frequency from the
phone to any remote receiver making an Android device a common remote.
Storage Access Framework- Users
can browse, open, read, write and alter documents including texts, pictures,
and audio/video files within the app from a wide variety of sources.
Screen Recording- The screen
recording utility within Android 4.4 can come handy in creating high quality
videos and saving them as MP4s using an Android device.
New Web View and Chromium Features- This
feature allows developers to use KitKat for several latest compatibility
features and allow access to web based content conveniently. The new features
and functions in WebView can perform in KitKat 4.4 without any requirement of
any kind of modification of content.
Android Kitkat 4.4 is a powerful new development that comes laced with all the
latest offerings of advanced communication technology, however it is only after
mass and consistent usage that its real efficacy will be proven and the real
impact can be assessed in the right way.
