Major Features

Android 16 Beta 1 introduces the Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec, a groundbreaking technology for mobile video. APV enables high-quality video recording and editing up to 8K resolution with HDR10/10+ support, ensuring exceptional visual fidelity. 

This lossless video quality is a game-changer for professional-grade content creation on mobile devices. It opens up new possibilities for filmmakers, videographers, and content creators.

Live Updates Notifications

 Android 16 Beta 1 introduces Live Updates, a new class of notifications designed to provide real-time information for ongoing activities. This feature is particularly useful for food delivery, ride-sharing, and navigation services.

This feature allows users to track progress easily, estimated arrival times, and other relevant details within the notification. Live Updates also support customizable icons, making it easier to identify different services at a glance.

SystemLevel Improvements

Predictive Back Navigation: Improved back gesture animations for a smoother and more intuitive navigation experience.

ART Updates: Enhanced performance for applications that utilize non-SDK interfaces.

Work Scheduling Fix: Improved performance during lifecycle transitions for applications.

Broadcast Priority Changes: Adjusted the delivery order for broadcasts sent using the same process.

Developer Tools and Frameworks

Universal Resizable By Default: 

Introduced frameworks, tooling, and libraries to assist developers in creating more adaptable and flexible applications that seamlessly adjust to various screen sizes and orientations.

ProgressStyle Notification Template: 

Provided a consistent user experience for Live Updates notifications through a dedicated notification template. This ensures that users can easily understand and interact with real-time updates from different services.

Conclusion

Android 16 Beta 1 introduces new features and improvements, including the groundbreaking Advanced Professional Video codec, real-time Live Updates notifications, and significant system-level optimizations. 

The beta program provides developers with valuable tools and frameworks to enhance their application development process. We encourage developers and early adopters to participate actively in the beta program.

The feedback will play a crucial role in shaping the future of Android. It ensures a seamless and enjoyable user experience for everyone.
