What's New in Android P ?

Google is releasing a developer preview of the next version of Android in Murch, But we don't know yet the name beyond "Android P" or how the big user-interface will be this time. In fact, Google VP of engineering Dave Burke is calling this “an early baseline build for developers only,”, so definitely do not go away with your main phone with this and assume it will be usable day to day.

Probably the feature that will garner the most discussion is built-in support for a notch cutting into the display at the top of the screen. (Google’s term for it is “display cutout support.”), those notches were unavoidable on new Android phones at Mobile World Congress last month In. the meantime, developers will be able to test how their full-screen apps will work with notches with the new tools Google is releasing today.

Without making this too long for you, I highly suggest watching this video which will explain everything you need to know about Android P from changes on the user interface to built-in features.

Google is once again promising an Android Beta release at some point in the future, as it gets “closer to a final product.”, So it's good news for the early adopters.

Google start to previews Stack Overflow answers directly in Search results

Google has started displaying previews for Stack Overflow answers directly in Search. Now it will be easier for developers and programmers to find the best answers to questions submitted to Stack Overflow. This clearly means that you can easily filter through the most popular answers to Stack Overflow submissions with having to load the page. The current layout shows the responses only partially, so you will still have to visit the website to read the full responses. Here is how the new layout looks like in comparison to the older one: The Next Web asked Stack Overflow about the feature – and while the company confirmed it has noticed the feature – it pointed The Next Web to Google for further comment. They reached out to Google for a clarification and will update this piece accordingly if they hears back.
