CTOnews.com, March 9 (Xinhua)-- Google released the first developer preview version (Developer Preview) of Android 14 in early February this year, and today launched the second test version (DP2) UPP2.230217.004.

CTOnews.com warns that Android 14 is still in the early stages of development, this is only a preview version for developers, it is not suitable for daily use, and it is only suitable for Pixel 4a 5G, 5, 5a, 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, 7 Pro series devices to download and refresh manually, of course, you can also use the official Android simulator in Android Studio.

Of course, if you are already running the DP1 version, you will automatically receive OTA updates for DP2. If you are currently registered for the Android 13 test project and want to use Android 14 on registered devices, you need to choose to exit the test plan before downloading and using Android 14.

According to Google's planned schedule, the first Beta beta of Android 14 will be released in April, and the next three versions will be released in the next few months.

The release schedule of Android 14 is worth mentioning when Google announced that the 2023 I / O conference will be held on May 10. Of course, Google I / O conferences usually release a lot of information about the next major Android version, and a variety of new hardware products are also possible.

The company said the event would be "open to a limited live audience and to all online users". Google is expected to launch more than 20 artificial intelligence products this year, many of which are likely to be showcased at developer conferences.

Compared to the DP1 version, the DP2 version mainly adjusts the details. For example, it has brought a new dialog box that allows you to choose "support allowing apps to access only selected photos and videos" or "access all photos and videos", or deny access directly, as shown in the following image.

Google introduced a platform, API-- credential Manager (Credential Manager), in Android 14, which allows applications to log in using passwords. In DP2, Google has improved the UI style of the account selector and adjusted API based on developer feedback on DP1.

In addition, applications for Android 14 require user permissions to be active in the background.

Google said DP2 optimized Android's memory management system to improve resource utilization when applications were running in the background. In addition, there will be fewer uncloseable notifications in Android 14, and the app store API will be improved.

According to the introduction, you can also set your favorite display format through regional preferences, for example, you will be able to select temperature units (Fahrenheit, Celsius), the first day of the week and the numbering system according to your area.
