Android M, seconda Developer Preview: ecco tutte le novità

La settimana che va a chiudersi è stata caratterizzata tra le altre cose dal rilascio della seconda developer preview di Android M, che a quanto pare contiene più novità di quante ci si potesse attendere.

Ecco il changelog completo:

  • Android Platform Changes:

    • Modifications to platform permissions including external storage, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth location, and changes to contacts/identity permissions. Device connections through the USB port are now set to charge-only mode by default. To access the device, users must explicitly grant permission.
  • API Changes:

    • Updated Bluetooth Stylus APIs with updated callback events. View.onContextClickListener and GestureDetector.OnContextClickListener to listen for stylus button presses and to perform secondary actions.
    • Updated Media API with new callback InputDevice.hasMicrophone() method for determining if a device microphone exists.
  • Fixes for developer-reported issues:

    • TextInputLayout doesn’t set hint for embedded EditText. (fixed issue)

    • Camera Permission issue with Legacy Apps (fixed issue)
