On October 28, it was reported that at the Android Developer Summit, Google announced the launch of Android 12L system designed for tablet computers, folding screen phones, Chromebook and other large screen devices.
This is probably the second time that Google has launched a new system specifically for tablet devices since Android 3.0 in 2011. It may also be in response to the recovery of Android tablets and the increasing number of folding screen phones in the past two years.
According to the official introduction, Android 12L has optimized the large screen at the UI level, including notification, quick setting, lock screen, overview, home screen, etc. For example, the notification bar under the horizontal screen will be displayed in a left and right column layout, with the left as the shortcut switch and the right as the notification list.
Android 12L is also optimized for multitasking. A hidden Dock bar is added at the bottom. You can directly switch applications or drag out application screens through the Dock bar (domestic Android tablets: this is it?), and all applications will be allowed to enter the multi window mode.
In addition, Android 12L will also optimize the display form of applications that have not adapted and optimized the large screen display through new compatibility modes, such as centering the application page on a black background (I don't know if there is a display mode similar to parallel view).
At present, Android 12L is still in the stage of launching the developer preview version. The official version is expected to be released early next year. At present, the introduction to the functional features is relatively simple, but for the manufacturers and related application developers who are still working on the Android tablet, The return of Google, the leading big brother, is always a good thing for solving the current fragmented system software ecosystem.
