What’s new in Android 11 Developer Preview 2?
Google is adding a variety of new features, both user-facing and behind-the-scenes, to Android 11 with this new update. Here are the biggest changes:
- 5G state API: Developers can now quickly check whether a user is currently connected on a 5G New Radio or Non-Standalone network.
- Hinge angle for foldables: For foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip or Galaxy Fold, Android 11’s new AndroidX API will let developers build experiences for hinge angles to help create more adaptive experiences.
- Call screening service improvements: Google is adding new APIs to let call-screening apps do more to keep calls from bugging users. These apps will now be able to report a call rejection reason, as well as see if a call is being made to or from a number in the user’s contacts.
- Scoped storage updates: Android 11’s scoped storage feature is getting an update, with better management of cached files and support to migrate files from the legacy scoped storage model to the new model. You can read more about the scoped storage updates here.
- Synchronized IME transitions: Google is introducing a new set of APIs that let you sync your app’s content with the onscreen keyboard and system bars as they animate on and offscreen. This will hopefully allow devs to create more natural, intuitive, and “jank-free” IME transitions. Take a look at the GIFs below to see it in action.
