CTOnews.com, May 6 (Xinhua)-- Samsung and Google have joined hands to fix the problem of "foreground service and background work" between devices in Android 14, thus reducing the frequency of killing background applications in OneUI 6.0, according to foreign technology media 9to5Google.

Some OEM makers have taken aggressive measures to extend battery life by killing background applications. This makes the application unable to keep running in the background for a long time, and the end user blames the developer for the bad experience.

Each OEM vendor will customize the frequency of killing background applications, and application developers can not adapt and optimize according to different devices.

So Google hopes to fix this problem in Android 14. Google's goal is to "make it easier for developers to create applications that run consistently on different Android devices."

CTOnews.com translated Google's statement as follows:

To address these consistency challenges, we announced a deeper partnership with Android hardware manufacturers to help ensure predictable and consistent support for API for background work throughout the ecosystem.

Samsung became the "first partner" to join the program, and apps running on OneUI 6.0are guaranteed to work as expected as long as they are developed in accordance with Android's new foreground service, API policy.

Google introduced three changes in Android 14:

In application development, it is necessary to declare the type of foreground service and the requested permission of the specified type, which clarifies when it is reasonable to use the foreground service.

By taking advantage of the constraints of JobScheduler, such as network restrictions, such as unmeasured WiFi, data transfer job types are introduced and can be manipulated by users.

The new Google Play policy ensures the correct use of foreground services and user-initiated data transfer jobs
