Android has several incarnations that reach various devices and form factors. There, of course, Android plain on mobile and tablet, but the Google platform is also present on TV and cars. Based on the same platform or even the same source code does not always mean that this device will work together. On the contrary, sometimes it feels like they live in a completely different world, even if two devices use the same application. Things that clearly look better on the Apple side even though the device runs a different operating system. Fortunately, it can be something from the past soon, because the new tools provided by Google will make communication between Android devices using the same application almost smooth.
Not really -really google mistakes that things like now; Maybe it’s a bit petty or want to focus on one thing first, but Android is mainly designed for smartphones. Tablets, for example, are ignored until they explode in popularity, and Google has no choice but to support it officially. Even then, Android was implemented by dozens of hardware manufacturers in a slightly different way so that it has been divided into a version that is almost uncomfortable.
Of course, there is still a general layer under all OEM customization, so the actual burden is on Google to build a bridge that works in various brands, devices, and platforms that are compatible. It has begun to put the foundation with the nearest stock framework, but it is only limited to the device that runs the Google Play service. Now finally opening the road so that other applications can travel smoothly too, regardless of the device.
Cross-device communication
Google finally launched a new cross-device for Android that can be used by developers to design applications that function and communicate smoothly on various devices, the company announced in a blog post on August 26. This is built based on the closest section by using the same thing technology to find the nearest device using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as well as building a safe connection between this. It seems to rely on Google Play services, but this tool still provides comfort that will make it trivial for the developer to put it in their application.
When that happened, it might be seen that the Android application suddenly works miraculously with their various forms on various devices. You will be able to easily enter payment information on your cellphone when buying something from your smart TV, for example, or you can take where you leave when reading a web page every time you switch from the phone to the tablet to the computer. It will also be easier to share things with many people at the same time without having to choose every person’s device one by one. These experiences are quite equivalent to what Apple users have enjoyed on their Mac, iPhone and iPad.
Although the experience looks magical, it is not really happening with magic. Developers must do work to integrate this new tool into their application, but at least half of work has been done for them by Google. This might sound troublesome, but can make your application work smoothly on various devices is enough incentives to be inserted into hours. At present, SDK only works for Android phones and tablets, but the main goal is to make it available for all Android surfaces, including TV and cars, as well as non-Android operating systems.
