What's new in Google Android L

Android L was launched last week by Google at its annual developer conference, But it’s not clear that will be called Android 4.5 or Android 5.

Android L features a number of significant updates. As Google introduce newer design language called material Design which allows developers create layers within their apps.  Also deeply integrated its Android wear platforms with Android L, allowing users unlock smartphones without a pin code if they wearing a smartwatch.

 Now users allowing respond to notification directly from the lock screen. Also Google is working to improve battery life and support 64bit chips.

New navigation buttons : The previously direct buttons have been replaced with geometric shapes

Calculator: The Calculator app has changed though and there’s a dash of color in the advanced menu, which sits on the right as a very visible top layer. 






Animations are snappier than ever in L. System-wide all apps move out of view when you hit the home button by sliding themselves down. When you touch individual tabs within an app, there’s a very brief ripple animation that seems so realistic when you think how you want some touch elements to react. The animation is not necessarily in your face. The tab animation, for example, remains confined to the top part which has the name.

Google Nexus and Some of HTC models are expected to get Android L very soon but not clear about other vendor like Samsung, Sony, or Motorola.
