Thanks to the ability of Android to provide privacy and security on devices, Android OS becomes the world’s most successful mobile operating system. Following graph depicts that market share of the Android operating system against its competitors. And with the launch of the new Android version named Q, it is estimated that the graph of Android’s market share will go much higher.

When Android OS version 9 has been launched in August 2018, people appreciated it as Google has added some of the best features like permission control, a smarter battery control, and improved notification. Despite having dominant features, those features have some limitations. To overcome it, Google has recently launched Android 10 or Android Q. This version of the Android OS has improved features which satisfy the more safety and the privacy than the previous version of Android OS.

New features of the Android version Q 10 is so diverse that you need to read it for not only making new apps but you need to understand it to prevent your old app from the instability.

Top Android Q 10 features which, you must have to add in your android app

1. More Defined User Confirmation Methods

As we discussed, in Android version 10, they put more emphasis on providing more security but in a convenient way. Thus, they add this feature which lets users confirm high-risk actions in a minimal way. A user just has to confirm his identity through one of the biometric modality like facial recognition, fingerprint and he will not ask to provide any other detail again.

In the android app development phase, the developer can add this feature in the app by adding a simple condition. If the action has low risk and a developer do not want user configuration from the user then the developer simply needs to give a false condition on setRequireConfirmation().

2. Way to check the biometric capability of the user’s device

Google has added this feature in the Android version Q for the developers. While in the phase of Android app development, if a developer wants to add biometric authentication feature for the app for more security, he must need to check the biometric capacity of the device. To check it, the developer can use canAuthenticate() method.

3. Fast Wi-Fi Direct Connection

In Android Q, developers get two new updated API classes for establishment capability of fast connection while using Wi-Fi direct. Older AIP classes for Wi-Fi direct wifiP2pCnfig and wifiP2pmanager have been upgraded in Android Q.

If you are wondering what is Wi-Fi direct, then in the simple words, it lets two devices to connect with each other without a wireless access point.

4. Monochrome Camera Support

Monochrome camera API was launched with Android version 9 in 2018. In the android version Q, they relaunched it with some enhancement. It is now more memory efficient and supports monochrome raw DNG images.

This is one of the new features of the Android Q, which can be highly used by developers in the Android app development phase of entertainment apps. For example, TikTok is the app which uses the primary camera for videos. Now, with this monochrome support, if TikTok will add this API in the app then users can record videos through that monochrome camera of the smartphone.

5. Setting Panels

This is the most innovative and handy feature of the Android Q. Basically, this API allows apps to make setting visible in the apps itself. The major advantage of this feature is, the user doesn’t have to go to the setting to turn on the mobile data and Wi-Fi in order to use the app. If your app is integrated with this feature, users of your app will get the comfort of the next level!

A developer can add this feature in your app with the help of Setting. panel API. This API has three actions.

» ACTION_INTERNET_CONNECTIVITY which shows the setting of internet connectivity.

» ACTION_NFC which shows the setting of NFC

» ACTION_VOLUME which shows the setting of volumes. This action can be used in audio streaming apps.

6. OS-level Dark Mode

People love the black colour a lot as it makes anything so elegant. Also, because of the black colour in the UI, a lot of battery consumption can be cut down. Thus, when there was no support of Dark mode in the previous version of the Android, people used to download third-party apps which try to give fake dark effect on the UI. But with Android Q, people’s need for dark mode has been satisfied as Google has introduced OS level dark mode in Android Q. Thus, you also need to make sure that you allow users to change the theme of the app.

7. More specified Permission Control

Google has taken a revolutionary step in Android version 9 in order to maintain the privacy and the security of the user’s devices. They have been added a feature of permission control. It allows a user to choose whether a particular app can use the camera, internal storage, GPS, and call log or not.

In Android Q, Google has improved the permission control. Now user can give permission to an app for a specific time. Also, now user can able to share access of only gallery, not whole internal storage. Thus, the app developer has to do Android app development by keeping this very important privacy features in the mind.

8. Foldable Smartphone Support

Design of smartphone is changing, and with that change, a challenge to fit app in different displays emerges. Recently, so many companies have launched foldable phones and so, Google has added ResizableActivity feature in its new Android version Q for app developers. With this API, app developers can do Android app development in such a way that app can be displayed properly on the foldable phones.

9. Unresponsive Web View Detector

Before understanding this feature of Android Q, let’s first understand what is web view. So basically, web view allows developers to show the content of the web on the app. Google has launched a new abstract class WebViewRenderClient in Android Q. By using this class, apps can detect if there is any unresponsive WebView.

A very unexpected feature of Android 10 Q which affect your old app too.

Top Reasons To Outsource Your App Development Projects In 2018

Vishal Virani — Mon, 14 May 2018 13:14:10 +0000

For businesses, the important goal is to be more productive and achieve more than the previous year. When it comes to accomplishing your goals, you just keep adding things to the to-do list.

So, let’s ask you a question. How much of that list gets accomplished in reality? Most of your work gets piled on for the next day, and then the day after, isn’t it?

The way of the world demands better work and time management, and quicker output. None of this can be achieved with the way you are working right now. You will not only need to introduce modern methods of working but also manage your work better.

- Automate some of your tasks. This would make things way simpler. For instance, generating invoices, adding your contacts to a centralized file etc. can be automated. Communication can be instant, and syncing your files and emails has become easier with the advance of technology. Make the most of these instances in order to reduce the tasks burdening your shoulders.
- There are tasks that consume a lot of time but, prove to be invaluable as far as accomplishing your goals are concerned. You should make sure you don’t waste time in doing these trivial tasks when you can accomplish a lot of things during that hour.

- Finally, outsource! You heard us right. There are tasks that may not be your cup of tea or even coffee for that matter. You may not be able to get it done right, and wasting time behind those tasks mean you will not have the time for the core business work. The best way to manage the tasks is to outsource it to a professional, and let them handle it for you.

2018 is the year to outsource app development. Let’s get started with the reasons.

Your search for expertise ends

With advancements in AI, the launch of the new version of Android Things and several other transformations and releases in the technology world, you want someone who understands, stays updated and incorporates them in the solutions. That someone cannot be you if your core has nothing to do with technology or app development. That’s why you need an expert app development company whose core is understanding the trends, staying abreast with technological niches and acting upon them. Outsourcing app development will get the expertise you seek. Most outsourcing firms have industry expertise as well, which proves to be an added advantage for your business.

The path to innovation

Imagine yourself multi-tasking, and adjusting the technology solution somewhere in between the multiple tasks you have. Would your idea or the solution make any difference in the lives of your users, if you won’t give your 100% to it? Would you be able to define a point of differentiation for your users with your solution? The answer is a simple no. When you are working on many tasks at a time, chances are you either fail at all of them or you are just about mediocre in most of them. Multi-tasking, especially when it comes to tasks that you have no idea about, can be risky. You may want to outsource the technology aspect, the place where you need innovation and uniqueness. The company will not only bring freshness to your idea but also offer an innovative and unique solution. At a time where everyone is at loggerheads with respect to earning the top spot, innovation is the only thing that will set you apart. Enough reason to outsource mobile app development for your business.

Reducing the liabilities

When you hire a team to work for the dream app development projects, you are not only investing time in hiring the resources but also money and efforts in maintaining a team. Along with the team, you will need to invest in the infrastructure and as well as the resources and assets required to build the dream project. It is not only expensive but also time consuming. If you don’t get it right the first time, your capital is wasted, and you are sitting on a ticking time-bomb called failure. The best way to ensure you don’t take that kind of risk is to invest in outsourcing company. They are known to handle these kind of projects, and have a dedicated team in place that can take action as soon as the project is rolled in. They have the resources, the infrastructure and the experience to deal with the project that you are set out to roll. So, it is a good idea to outsource and save some money and reduce the risks and liabilities.

Accelerated development

If you were to develop the application on your own, you would need to invest time in market research, study the idea, validate it, survey your target and involve in a lot of other tasks before you reach the actual development. The company you outsource your application development to will take care of all these tasks and more with the right team. With the speed at which you were tackling the situation, your product will reach the market after your competitors have launched themselves with similar products in the market. However, outsourcing will get you to the market early, and give you an edge over the competition. This is an absolute necessary if you have a unique idea and you believe it can capture the attention of millions.

Grow your business

When you have outsourced a major part of your business that requires a lot of time and attention, you can work on the core, which includes growth strategies, profit increase methods and customer acquisition strategies. Your team will require enough time and resources to handle this, which is why outsourcing is a good idea. Choosing one of the best outsourcing companies will prove to be profitable for your business.
