1. Android L
3. What is Android L? Unnamed version of Android with code named L Comes packed with over 5000 new developer APIs New universal design and functionality language User friendly and attractive navigation concepts Improved Battery life and Processing
4. Features Material Design Android RunTime (ART) Battery life (Project Volta) Security Multitasking and Recent App Notifications Many more...
5. Material Design Universal platform design that functions across Android Wear, Android TV, Android Auto, and all of Google’s apps and services Making the whole device feel unified Its all about everything animation, but flat at the same time Elevation value to any UI surface to get 3D effects by virtual light sources and real time shadows Video: http://www.youtube.com/v/Q8TXgCzxEnw&autoplay=1

10. Android RunTime (ART) Running twice as fast as the Dalvik runtime Work with ARM, x86 and MIPS platforms 64-bit compatible
11. ART Architecture Fully compatible with Dalvik’s existing byte-code format (“dex”) Instead of being a Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler, it now compiles app code Ahead-of-Time (AOT)
12. • Android L marks the switch from the Dalvik “just in time” compiler that processes applications on the fly to ART, which provides efficient compiling. • Google claims by switching to ART, devices will have 2x performance over those running Dalvik. • Android L will also support ARM, x86 and MIPS as well as 64-bit instructions as standard. Performance increase
13. Battery life (Project Volta) Project Volta is a Project that picks an area of battery weakness and focuses on tuning the whole OS to fix it Waking a device up for one second burns two minutes of standby time New "JobScheduler" API that allows the OS to batch up un-important app requests like database cleanup and log uploading. OS will not wake the device up for a network task when there is no network connectivity "Battery Historian" tool visualize power events over time and understand how your app is using battery Faster compilation of apps using ART virtual machine New mode allowing the CPU clock speed to be reduced, refresh rate to be lowered and data to be turned off
14. Ars Technica's Battery Test Conducted test with Nexus 5 running the Android L Developer Preview Two extra hours of battery life in comparison to the previous Android OS 4.4 KitKat 36% more battery life while running Android L Developer Preview
15. Security 15% of Android users use a PIN or pattern lock Android is being used regularly on over 1 billion phones Average user checking their handset over 100 times a day It can be time consuming and often frustrating if you press or swipe incorrectly "Personal Unlocking" - enables the device to determine if it's in a trusted environment Universal data controls allowing users to better see what data is shared with who, under one roof
16. Multitasking and Recent App The multitasking menu has been refreshed, complete with a 3D-like stacked card setup for Apps as well as Chrome browser. Recent apps are shown with more content displayed, in a much larger size
17. The Google Fit hub was previewed and this is expected to be ready for the final release of Android 5.0. The System will gather health data from sensors on mobile devices and wearable as other apps Google Fit
18. Notifications The notifications by pulling down the bar is replaced with more front and center of lock screen. Bringing down a 'Heads up' notification without disruption in much the same way as iOS Prioritize the notifications based on your habits
20. Other Features Interlinked apps - allows users to search through apps directly from the search bar, whether it be a restaurant in the OpenTable app or a friend's page via Facebook Improved Graphics - GPUs have evolved, so the mobile gaming industry graphics boost Multi networking - will help apps switch seamlessly between networks without interrupting the user flow and interaction within an app Bluetooth - will feature more peripheral device support, necessary for TV and Android Wear devices Android Auto - This is a bit like Apple's CarPlay. it's an in-car system that runs off your Android phone
