Opening the Google Play Store for more car apps




Posted by Eric Bahna, Product Manager




In October, we published the Android for Cars App Library to beta so you could start bringing your navigation, parking, and charging apps to Android Auto. Thanks for sending your feedback with our issue tracker, so we know where to improve and clarify things. Now we’re ready to take the next step in delivering great in-car experiences.



Today, you can publish your apps to closed testing tracks in the Google Play Store. This is a great way to get feedback on how well your app meets the app quality guidelines, plus get your in-car experience in front of your first Android Auto users.

Kotlin named Breakout Project of the Year at OSCON

Posted by Wojtek Kaliciński, Developer Advocate, Android Stephanie Saad Cuthbertson announces support for Kotlin during the Developer Keynote at I/O 2017. Today at OSCON (the O'Reilly Open Source Software Conference ), Kotlin was awarded the Open Source Award for Breakout Project of the Year. There is no doubt to us why Kotlin received this award: it’s a fast moving (but thoughtfully developed) programming language that lets you write better code, faster. It’s great to see Kotlin continue to receive the sort of recognition as Breakout Project of the Year, building on other awards like #1 fastest growing language on Github . We’re big fans of Kotlin, and we’ve heard that you are too – feedback from you is in part why we announced support for the language over two years ago. This meant bundling the Kotlin plugin in Android Studio, along with promising to support Kotlin-built apps going forward. But there was a long way to go for many teams at Google to provide a first class experie...

Developer tools to debug WebView in Beta

Gambar
Posted by Nate Fischer , Software Engineer, WebView team Since 2014, Android WebView has paved the way as an updateable system component, delivering stability and performance improvements, modern web platform features, and security patches to Android apps and users. However, updates can be a double edged sword: as much as we strive for stability and backward compatibility, new crashes and breaking changes occasionally slip through. To solve these issues faster, today we're announcing WebView DevTools, a new set of on-device debugging tools to diagnose WebView-caused crashes and misbehaving web platform features. For your convenience, WebView DevTools comes included as part of WebView itself. The easiest way to launch WebView Devtools is to try out WebView Beta . WebView's beta program is a way for app developers to get WebView several weeks before they reach users, for extra lead time to report compatibility bugs to our team . Starting with today's release (M83), WebView B...

Run ARM apps on the Android Emulator

Posted by Michael Hazard As part of the Android 11 developer preview we’ve released Android 11 system images , which are capable of executing ARM binaries with significantly improved performance. Previously, developers who were dependent on ARM libraries and could not build an x86 variant of their app either had to use system images with full ARM emulation, which are much slower than x86 system images when run on x86-based computers, or resort to physical devices. The new Android 11 system images are capable of translating ARM instructions to x86 without impacting the entire system. This allows the execution of ARM binaries for testing without the performance overhead of full ARM emulation. The new Android 11 (Google APIs) x86 system image supports ARM ABIs, while the older Android Oreo system image does not Details The significance of this may require a bit of context, especially if you build apps exclusively with Kotlin or the Java programming language. Unlike Kotlin or the Java pro...
