New Android SDK Released + screenshots of new UI!

Google's Jason Chen has updated the Android Developers Blog with the news of the new SDK:

On behalf of the entire Android team, I'm happy to let you know that an updated version of the Android SDK — we're calling it m5-rc14 — is now available. Today, we're continuing the early look at the Android SDK that we started back in November by providing updates to the Android APIs and the developer tools based, in part, on the great feedback and suggestions developers have been giving us. We're excited about the progress that we've made and look forward to making additional updates in the future as the platform evolves towards production-readiness.

There are a couple of changes in m5-rc14 I'd like to highlight:

  • New user interface - As I mentioned when we introduced the m3 version of the Android SDK, we're continuing to refine the UI that's available for Android. m5-rc14 replaces the previous placeholder with a new UI, but as before, work on it is still in-progress.
  • Layout animations - Developers can now create layout animations for their applications using the capabilities introduced in the android.view.animation package. Check out the LayoutAnimation*.java files in the APIDemos sample code for examples of how this works.
  • Geo-coding - android.location.Geocoder enables developers to forward and reverse geo-code (i.e. translate an address into a coordinate and vice-versa), and also search for businesses.
  • New media codecs - The MediaPlayer class has added support for the OGG Vorbis, MIDI, XMF, iMelody, RTTL/RTX, and OTA audio file formats.
  • Updated Eclipse plug-in - A new version of ADT is available and provides improvements to the Android developer experience. In particular, check out the new Android Manifest editor.

You can find more information about what's changed in a couple of documents that we've published. First is an overview of the changes to the Android APIs in API Changes Overview. If you want a more granular view of what's changed, an API diff between m3-rc37 and m5-rc14 is also available. Finally, Upgrading the SDK provides links to the two previously referenced documents and the release notes, as well as instructions on how to upgrade your development environment.

[...]

I've installed the new SDK and there is a gallery of the new user interface after the break.

Sevgili, Öss adayları her sene binlerce kişinin girdiği öss sınavı aslında planlı çalışıldığı takdirde hiçde o kadar zor değil. Sizde sistematik şekilde çalışmaya devam ettirdiğiniz sürece 2009 öss sonuçları veya öss sonuçları açıklandığı gün kazanma sevincini yaşayabilirsiniz.

İşte size yardımcı olacak küçük bilgiler…

Öncelikle zayıf olduğunuz derslere ciddi bir biçimde yoğunlaşmalısınız sevdiğiniz derslere değil bilmediğiniz konulara çalışmalısınız
Danışman ve rehber öğretmenlerinizle öss öncesi ve öss tercihleri sırasında durum değerlendirmesini yapınız bu profesyonel yardımlar her zaman sizin faydanıza olacaktır.
Tatil günlerinizi sınırlı tutmalısınız en fazla 3-4 gün tatil yapınız aksi halde derslerden soğursunuz ve toparlanmanız zaman alır.
Dizi, maç, bilgisayar oyunları, arkadaş toplantıları vs. gibi etkinlikleri sınırlandırmalısınız. Örneğin;haftada 4 maç izliyorsanız bunu 1'e indirmelisiniz yada 3 gün arkadaşlarınızla toplanıyorsanız 1 gün toplanmalısınız geçtiğimiz 6 ay boyunca yeterince vakit harcadığınızı düşünürseniz bu 3 ayda bunları uygulamak gayet mantıklı olmalı sizin için.
Okul derslerinizle ilgili problemleri ortadan kaldırıp öss‘ye yoğunlaşmanız gerekmektedir.
Öss sınavıyla ilgili değişiklikleri takip etmeli ve yeniliklerden haberdar olmalısınız.
Ve son olarak sabırlı olup 3 aylık ders programı yapmalısınız.
Eğer bu önerileri uygularsanız öss sonuçları açıklandığında dilediğiniz üniversiteye girmek için gereken puanı elde etmiş olacaksınız. Umarım öss tercihleri istediğiniz gibi olur

Great to know so much about Android. I noticed that there are already applications developed for mobile phones using android. Check this out for more info:-

These applications seem to be really intelligent.

Great staff dude, If i could program, I will do an open source Android that users can download to their mobile phone and customise it, so everyone would have a different interface

Looks like a graphics heavy UI. Might not be as inefficient as WinMo/iPhone but hard to compare against the other Linux and Symbian S60 platforms already available.

It doesn't look like a 2008 high-end phone interface. Todays phones need eye-candy to attract people just by looking at it. Functionality is a secondary thing when deciding on purchase.

Someone said it's customizable and the homescreen app can be replaced. That's nice and definitely a cool feature for power users. However, the default look is most important since it's going to be a definition of Android's look for most people.

Apple's iPhone lacks in functionality, but has an awesome looking UI, which makes it a hit.

As a competition, Android's UI should be at least equally good, but being better wouldn't hurt.

Submitted by hobbs on Sat, 04/05/2008 - 00:29.

I think we'll see some more UI updates before the phones come out...

Hi all,

I don´t like the UI appearance, especially home screen with grey icons. I would prefer using semi transparent icons as used for example in maps.

Anaway I cross my fingers!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 03/03/2008 - 14:28.

Well, considering that every included app can be replace (including the home screen) that can be made to happen. The UI can be totally customizable.

Just because it is from Google, dose not mean it is a good product.
From screens - nothing special. iphone was more impressive.

For anyone who's been dying to see and feel what the latest Android m5 UI is like on a real phone, here's the Nokia & Sony Ericsson demo from Tea Vui Huang! An Android m3 UI demo, Adobe DNG Raw Android library and a NTT DoCoMo skin for the Android Emulator is also available for download from the above website.

Guys, onestly I don't see anything nice there!

User controls are ugly and inconsistent. Size of font is unreasonable. Contrast and colors are weak. In terms of GUI design looks like Windows 3.1 or old Linux

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 21:51.

I can't believe they changed the home screen bar thing to a bunch of buttons!

Submitted by Mark6846 (not verified) on Thu, 02/14/2008 - 03:59.

hey, easy. This operating system is customisable. So if you dont like that main screen (I like it, so you can see that your opinion is not universal) you can replace mainscreen application. No problem here.
