Android announces Developer Preview 2

Android announced its Developer Preview 2 which focuses on additional features and changes on top of last month’s original preview. 

The new preview comes after the 12L feature drop was moved to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) last week, enabling developers to take advantage of over 250+ million large-screen Android devices. 

Android 13 Developer Preview 2 introduces a new runtime permission for sending notifications from an app: ‘POST_NOTIFICATIONS’ to help users focus on the most important notifications. Apps in Android 13 will now need to ask permission from users before they can post notifications. 

Also included is a new API to let apps protect user privacy by downgrading previously granted runtime permissions and the safer exporting of context-registered receivers. 

Android 13 will offer improved Japanese text wrapping,  line heights for non-Latin scripts, and apps can call the new text conversion API so users can find what they’re looking for faster and easier.

Android 13 adds built-in support for LE Audio, so developers will get the new capabilities for free on compatible devices and support for the MIDI 2.0 standard which includes the ability to connect MIDI 2.0 hardware through USB. 

“With each platform release, we’re working to make updates faster and smoother by prioritizing app compatibility as we roll out new platform versions. In Android 13 we’ve made app-facing changes opt-in to give you more time, and we’ve updated our tools and processes to help you get ready sooner,” Dave Burke, the vice president of engineering at Android wrote in a blog post that contains additional details about the new developer preview.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
