Sistemul 3D Touch implementat de catre compania Apple in cursul anului trecut in iPhone 6S va ramane fara un rival intr-un smartphone important ce ruleaza sistemul de operare Android, iar asta deoarece Google va implementa suport universal pentru Force Touch abia anul acesta.
Conform unor informatii aparute in cursul acestei zile, Android N urmeaza sa aiba integrat suport universal pentru Force Touch, iar viitoarele smartphone-uri ce vor rula aceasta versiune a sistemului de operare vor avea functii similare cu cele ale 3D Touch din iPhone.
Android N urmeaza sa fie prezentat de catre compania Google in cadrul conferintei Google I/O, un fel de WWDC dedicat dezvoltatorilor platformei Android, iar el ar trebui sa aiba loc inaintea conferintei pe care cei din Cupertino o vor organiza pentru dezvoltatorii lor.
Cu suport universal pentru Force Touch in Android N disponibil din aceasta primavara, primele smartphone-uri cu acest sistem integrat ar putea fi lansate pana la sfarsitul anului si am putea vorbi despre terminale de la producatori importanti precum Samsung, HTC, Huawei, etc.
Cu lansarea 3D Touch Apple si-a asigurat un avans de un an pentru tehnologie in fata competitorilor importanti, insa anul acesta va trebui sa vina cu ceva nou pentru a avea o functie importanta oferita utilizatorilor in timp ce alte platforme nu ofera acelasi lucru.
“Dynamic shortcuts and pinned shortcuts
An application can publish shortcuts with setDynamicShortcuts(List) and addDynamicShortcut(ShortcutInfo). There can be at most getMaxDynamicShortcutCount() number of dynamic shortcuts at a time from the same application. A dynamic shortcut can be deleted with deleteDynamicShortcut(String), and apps can also use deleteAllDynamicShortcuts() to delete all dynamic shortcuts.
The shortcuts that are currently published by the above APIs are called “dynamic”, because they can be removed by the creator application at any time. The user may “pin” dynamic shortcuts on Launcher to make “pinned” shortcuts. Pinned shortcuts cannot be removed by the creator app. An application can obtain all pinned shortcuts from itself with getPinnedShortcuts(). Applications should keep the pinned shortcut information up-to-date using updateShortcuts(List).
The number of pinned shortcuts does not affect the number of dynamic shortcuts that can be published by an application at a time. No matter how many pinned shortcuts that Launcher has for an application, the application can still always publish getMaxDynamicShortcutCount() number of dynamic shortcuts.”-Written information about the the Launcher shortcuts feature on Android N hints at Force Touch capabilities for more Android phones
