Introduction to Android 6 #Marshmallow



After the guessing game that went on for months, Google has finally announced its next Android iteration will be named after the sweet treat Marshmallow. So, now M is for Marshmallow.
Marshmallow was one of the highly speculated name that fits Google’s nomenclature of sweet treats like – Cup Cake, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat and Lollipop. It beat other probable names like mud pie, mousse, and our very favourite Malai Barfi.
The company revealed the name on its developers blog and alongside also revealed the final Android 6.0 SDK that will be available for download via the SDK Manager in Android Studio. It will bring access to final Android APIs and latest build tools.
“Today with the final Developer Preview update, we’re introducing the official Android 6.0 SDK and opening Google Play for publishing your apps that target the new API level 23 in Android Marshmallow,” Jamal Eason, Product Manager, Android writes in a blogpost.
Marshmallow brings new platform features such as fingerprint scanner and Doze power saving mode, but along with that also offers new permissions model.
Google Play is also made ready to accept API 23 apps via the Google Play Developer Console. At the consumer launch later this year, the Google Play store will be updated so that the app install and update process supports the new permissions model for apps using API 23.
“Classes for detecting and parsing bar codes are available in the com.google.android.gms.vision.barcode namespace. The BarcodeDetector class is the main workhorse — processing Frame objects to return a SparseArray<Barcode> types,” he further adds.
Google has also revaled its new lawn statue similar to the droid seen above.
Needless to say, Android Marshmallow brings new app permissions, custom Chrome Tabs, fingerprint support and improved power management.
Take a look at some of its cool new features announced earlier this year:
App Permissions 
The App Permissions got a major overhaul and Google will allow users to decide which permissions they want to allow or revoke, based on when those particular functions are used. Unlike the current implementation, where users have to agree to all app permissions on first install and also for updates, in Android M, users will get notifications asking for permissions only when they are using a particular function in an app.
Google has identified eight parameters including location, camera, contacts and so on, to help you give permissions for these. So for instance, in WhatsApp if you want to send a voice message, the App Permissions tab will pop up, asking you for permission to use the microphone. You can also revoke the permission later if you so wish. Also, app updates will also not ask you for permissions off the bat, unless you are using a feature which needs you to grant that particular app some permission.
Web Experience: Custom Chrome Tabs
The web browsing experience with the Chrome browser also gets a shot in the arm. Chrome Custom tabs, a new feature, that will let you include webviews within a particular app, without the need to switch to the Chrome browser on your phone. The Chrome browser will run atop your app (in case you click on any link within the app). Features such as automatic sign-in, saved passwords, autofill will work on the apps seamlessly. Also the Chrome Custom tab will take up the colours and fonts of the app it is being opened within, to make it seem like a seamless experience. In principle it seems closer to Facebook’s Instant Articles, with the difference being that the Chrome Custom tabs will make you feel like you are within the app that you are browsing.
App Linking
Android currently supports the app linking system, also known as Intents, which gives you the choice to open a particular web link in a web browser or an app. Before, if you had a Twitter link in say your inbox and you clicked on it, you got a prompt asking if you want to open the link in your browser or within the Twitter app, which is installed on your phone.
Android M will let developers add in an auto-verify feature within their code, which will help open the link within the respective app (provided the app is installed on your phone). In the background, the Android M OS will verify the link with the app’s server and post-authentication will proceed to open the link within the app itself, without asking you where you want to open the link.
Android Pay
This feature will let you make your payments using near-field communication (NFC) and host card emulation techniques for tap-to-pay services. You just need to unlock your phone, keep it near an NFC terminal and your payment is done, without opening any app. Google says when you add in your card details, a virtual account number is created to make your payments. Your actual card number is not shared with the store during the transaction.
According to Google, Android Pay will be pre-installed on AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile devices and will be accepted in around 700,000 stores in the US which accept contact-less payment. Android Pay will replace the Google Wallet app. Android Pay can also be used to make in-app payments provided developers integrate Pay into their apps.
Fingerprint Support
Android M will standardise the fingerprint sensor support and it is working with various phones to make a standard API to go with their sensors. You can use your fingerprint to authorise an Android Pay transaction, unlock your device or make Play Store purchases.
Power management
Android M will feature a smart power-managing feature called Doze. This feature works by letting system optimally manage the background processes. The OS keeps a tab on the motion detection sensor and if there is no activity for a long time, the system shuts down some processes. Since it is in the Doze stage, the system can still get activated by alarms and high priority notifications. According to Google, this feature has helped increase the standby-time on the Nexus 9 by almost two times over the Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Android M will also support USB Type-C for charging. And considering USB Type-C is has a bi-directional port, you can use this port to either charge the phone as welll as charge another device.
Apart from these main features, some of the other improvements include a better implementation of Copy/Paste function. So in Android M, you will get a floating toolbar just above your selection with the Cut, Copy, Paste options. Direct Share feature will let you share images or links with your most frequently shared contacts or apps, using a single click. Volume controls will also give you a drop-down menu, a feature that is common on the Cyanogen OS

Xiaomi To launch MI 4 tomorrow



Xiaomi has sent out a press invite saying that it will launch its next flagship device the Mi 4 in India on 28 January at an event in Delhi. It was reported earlier that the Mi 4 could launch on 28 January.
Interestingly, the message also says Mi hits a 4 and 6, a cricket reference. Also the image in the invite seen below shows three Mi 4’s arranged in what looks like stumps. While it’s unlikely that Xiaomi Note (which has 5.7-inch screen) and was launched this month will hit the Indian market, the cricketing reference could indicate a special-tie up to the sport by the Chinese smartphone maker.
mi4
The Mi 4 was launched last year and has a 5-inch (1920 x 1080 pixels) IPS display with 441 ppi resolution. It uses Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. It is powered by a 2.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor and has 3GB RAM.
The handset has a 13MP rear camera with LED Flash, Sony IMX214 BSI sensor and 4K video recording. It also has a whooping 8MP front-facing camera with Sony Exmor R sensor. The device will have either 16GB or 64GB internal storage space. The Mi 4 comes with Android 4.4.3 KitKat pre-installed, with a layer of the MIUI OS skin.
In terms of connectivity, the phone has 4G LTE, 3G, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n (2.4/5 GHz), WiFi Direct, Bluetooth and GPS. It has a 3,080 mAh battery. The device measures 139.2 x 68.5 x 8.9mm and weighs 149 grams.
The Mi 4 is expected to launch exclusively on Flipkart, just as most of its phones launched in India. It’s remains to be seen whether this phone will also have the flash sale model like other Xiaomi devices. Also the price is being speculated to be under Rs 20,000. Will Xiaomi impress on the price front?

Best Apps OF 2014

Workflow

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Workflow is the perfect example of keeping it simple (stupid). Apps like Drafts have given iOS users automation abilities for some time now, but Workflow simplifies that process and makes it much more accessible for your average, everyday iPhone user. For those whole like to embrace the promise that technology truly can make our lives easier, Workflow is a must. [iOS]

Snowball Beta

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
On my smartphone I have SMS, Messenger, WhatsApp, Slack, and Hangouts. The amount of mpm (messages per minute) I receive is out of control, so I need an app to help tame the digital chaos. Enter: Snowball. The idea behind the app is simple—corral all major messaging services into one place so you can browse and dismiss more easily. Snowball also adopts Facebook's chat heads so any message will always be present on your screen, and if you find chat heads annoying, you can just disable it. Plus, the app has a Yeti for a mascot, which is adorable. [Android]

Photomath

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Math and I have a contentious relationship, meaning I pretty much suck at it. But if I had Photomath in high school, I might have stood a chance. Take a picture of math equation with your camera, and boom—the app churns out an answer with step-by-step analysis. It's more of a learning tool than a cheating tool, but I'm not going to tell you how to use it. [iOS andWindows Phone]

Hyperlapse

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
From the creators of Instagram—you know, that one app that has more users than Twitter—comes Hyperlapse, the super-easy way to create time lapses on your iPhone. The beauty of the app is in its simplicity. Shoot a hyperlapse (or selfielapse), edit the speed, and that's it. What use to take professional photographers hours to complete just took you minutes. For free, it doesn't get much better than that. [iOS]

WeTransfer

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Sending large files on any device pretty much sucks. Email clients hit data caps, and you're left sending multiple emails, and compressing, compressing, compressing. There's a better way, and it's WeTransfer. The free app lets you send up to 10GB of data quick and easy. The app simply sends a download link to whatever or whomever you're trying to reach. It's a must-have if you're constantly slinging gigabytes among your various devices. [iOS and Android]

Microsoft Office

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Until 2014, editing Microsoft documents on mobile devices made me want to cry. Bundled into an all encompassing app, the tools and abilities were drastically restricted and borderline pointless. Earlier in the year, Microsoft released Office for iPad and quickly followed up withmobile versions in the fall for iPhone. The app is completely redesigned to take advantage of the device you're using, and Microsoft also opened up a lot of features for free to users with only pro tools hiding behind a subscription. Who said you can't be productive on the go? [iOS]

Inbox





This year, Google tried to solve one of the hardest mobile software questions: Email. What it came up with was an Inbox, a separate app from standard email that integrates Mailbox-like snooze features and a more glance-friendly interface. The app is still languishing in an early invite-required beta, but out of the gate, it's a pretty impressive attempt. [ iOS and Android]

Reporter

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
The biggest headache with the quantified-self trend is remaining vigilant in logging data and keeping track of your activity. Reporter tries to simplify things by pinging you several times throughout the day and creating a short quiz for you to answer. Over time, Reporter begins churning out the stats behind your habits, and the best part is that it's real data you can use. Once you pay the $4 premium, Reporter will transform you into numbers. [ iOS]

Xim

The Best Apps of 2014
This year, Microsoft made sharing slideshows less of headache. With Xim, all you do is select photos, add contacts, and press send. Maybe the smartest part of this little app is only the person creating the slideshow needs to download it. Xim sends the slideshow as a link that opens up in a browser, so if your friends, family, or that fun drunk you met last night doesn't know a Xim from a zoo, no worries. The experience is also intimate since all participant actions are shared across devices in real time, like you're flipping through a photo album side-by-side. [iOSAndroid, and Windows Phone]

JibJab Messages

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
This one is out of left field, but JibJab Messages lets you star in your own bite-sized, ever-looping piece of GIF greatness, and it's incredibly addicting. After coughing up just a $1 after the free trial, you get to make all the GIFs plastered with your (or your friend's) face you want—and it's super easy to do. Snap a pic, or grab one from your camera roll, and be on your way. Will it help you organize your life? No. Be more productive? Definitely not. Is it fun as hell? You betcha. [ iOS]

FireChat

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Strangely enough, FireChat isn't the most well-designed, eye-catching, or super useful app of 2014, but it was one of the few that actually made a real, tangible difference in the world. Hong Kong protesters used FireChat's mesh networks—the offline tech that makes chatting with anyone nearby possible—to send messages without cell reception. FireChat is the perfect app for protest organizers and crowds, but it's "Nearby" function only stretches about 30 feet or so. Regardless, it's a neat app worth having in your arsenal. [iOS and Android]

Office Lens

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Doing expense reports and just digitizing documents in general is the absolute worst, but Microsoft's Office Lens can snap your messy chicken scratch or printed docs and churn out a digital copy you can share or save to OneNote. BONUS: the photos are also OCR'ed, meaning the text is searchable. That's just all-around neat. [ Windows Phone]

Overcast

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND

Because of Serial, podcasts are cool again (jk, they've always been cool), and Overcast is the app to help you keep track of them all. The app also has awesome features like Voice Boost, which makes crappy-sounding podcasts less crappy-sounding, and Smart Speed that will cut out long periods of silence so you can actually do some damage to that backlog of podcasts you promised you'd catch up on. Oh, and if you want to make your own podcast, trying using another great app of 2014, Opinion. [iOS]

Acorns

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Oh man, investing. Every time I hear the word, I spontaneously get all sweaty and nervous. I'm terrible with money—fact—but Acorns helps me be less so. The app syncs with your credit and debit cards and rounds up every transaction to the nearest dollar, taking the change and making small micro investments. You can also select how aggressive or conservative you want to be with your investments. Acorns takes a $1 fee every month you're actively investing and a negligible management fee, depending on how much you invest. And if you want to get more involved with investing and stocks, take a look at Robinhood, which is a well-designed app that offers zero-commission trading. [iOS and Android]

Keezy Drummer






Making music is fun, and sometimes torturous, but mostly fun. That's the whole point of it, and Keezy Drummer perfectly encapsulates that idea. Through incredibly intuitive design and 12 different percussion samples, anyone (yes, even the musically challenged) can create beats that are actually pretty damn good. It's also addicting as hell, so that's a plus. [ iOS]

Fragment

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Photo apps are the most bloated category on any smartphone platform (except maybe games), but no photo app looks quite like this. Fragment is an app specifically designed to add trippy after effects to your photos. It takes a little getting used to and spotting what kind of picture is a good candidate for Fragment's acid-laced recreations can be tricky, but once you get the hang of it, your Instagram "likes" are going to quickly multiply. [iOS and Android]

Peek Calendar

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Ah yes, calendars. iOS has tons of them, and with iOS 8/Maverick, even the stock option ain't so bad. But none of them looks like the $2 Peek Calendar. Strangely enough, Peek would feel right at home with Google's Material Design, but this is an iOS-only affair. Peek makes your calendar as simple as possible, opting for gesture-based navigation rather than software buttons. There's a slight learning curve involved but it's worth it. It's best to listen to Yoda on this one: "You must unlearn what you have learned." [ iOS]

Theme+

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Sometimes, you just want to make smartphones pretty, and Theme+ just does that. My absolute favorite feature on Windows Phone are those constantly animated Live Tiles, they offer infinite possibility for customization and Theme+ is an app that lets you create beautiful backdrops for your homescreen. The app is $1.29, but if the geometric designs are to your liking, it's worth the plunge. [Windows Phone]

Wire

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
Wire is the direction I want the future of messaging to take: beautifully designed, minimalist UI, and end-to-end encryption. Wire is my favorite messaging platform I've used this year outside of your general fare like Hangouts and iMessages. Wire does have a few things to fix, chief among them being video messaging, but the seamless way to share content, start voice calls, and chat in a great-looking messenger is the texting future I've been looking for. [iOS and Android]

Facebook Rooms

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND

Yes, we know. Another Facebook app. When I first heard about Rooms (and wrote about it), I wasn't sold at first. The idea seemed completely wrapped up in web 1.0 thinking, had absolutely no search feature, and the idea of using QR codes made me want to punch something. In December, the Rooms team added an Explore feature, so I decided to take another look. I have enough random hobbies (D&D, Japanese baseball, and collecting Fantastic Four comics from the 1960s) that rooms could be a very powerful tool. It does recreate that web 1.0 feeling where the internet made us all discover that we're not alone in what we like, and Rooms brings us together. [iOS]

Accompli

The Best Apps of 2014EXPAND
2014 saw lots of inbox innovation. Inbox by Gmail nabbed up most of the headlines, but Accompli, an email client for Android and iOS, is built to help you get some real work done. With easy access to your calendar, Microsoft Exchange support, and quick references to recently emailed contacts, Accompli is email at its most productive. Plus, Microsoft just bought them, so they most be onto something. If you're still searching for ways to get to inbox zero, Accompli can help. [iOS and Android]

HERE Beta








Google Maps is the reigning champ when it comes to smartphone cartography, but HERE Beta is going to try to upset the status quo. There are tons of reasons to love Nokia's mapping solution—great design, simple interface, speed-limit warning features—but its real claim to fame is it lets users download maps for offline use and can be used even without an internet connection. These maps also span the globe, making HERE Beta a pretty attractive option for people who find themselves abroad and don't want to rack up a fortune on their phone bill.
