Improving UX through performance

Permissions patterns

Permission requests should be simple, transparent, and understandable. When requesting access, apps should ensure that either the feature itself or an explanation provided makes it clear why a permission is needed.

Permissions patterns

Why runtime permissions shouldn’t scare you

Marshmallow introduced Runtime Permissions, and that seems to be all anyone is talking about this summer. But that’s because prompting for a long list of permissions at install can intimidate users, and that’s not good for anyone. So apps targeting Marshmallow now have to put these permission requests into a context, by asking for them when the user is trying to use the relevant feature.

As great as this is, I’m sure that you’ve thought to yourself “that’s okay, I just won’t update to Marshmallow until I have to.” Updating your app isn’t as daunting as you might think, though. You simply need add a few lines of code that build in checks and graceful failures. So here’s a handy guide to walk you through it.



Step 1: check the platform. If the device is running Lollipop or earlier, then the user granted permission at install time, and you’re good to go. But if the device is running Marshmallow, you can’t be so certain. Clever developers can use the support library, though, which will do this check for you. That’s one less line of code for you to add.

Google Testing Blog: Test Sizes

Google Testing Blog: Test Sizes: by Simon Stewart What do you call a test that tests your application through its UI? An end-to-end test? A functional test?

Googlers like to make decisions based on data, rather than just relying on gut instinct or something that can’t be measured and assessed. Over time we’ve come to agree on a set of data-driven naming conventions for our tests. We call them “Small”, “Medium” and “Large” tests. They differ like so:

Feature	Small	Medium	Large
Network access	No	localhost only	Yes
Database	No	Yes	Yes
File system access	No	Yes	Yes
Use external systems	No	Discouraged	Yes
Multiple threads	No	Yes	Yes
Sleep statements	No	Yes	Yes
System properties	No	Yes	Yes
Time limit (seconds)	60	300	900+

Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Эмулятор УЖЕ ДОСТУПНЫЙ!

The Kindle Fire HD 8.9" emulator is now available. 

This emulator will enable you to test and debug your apps in anticipation of the launch of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" next month. We've also updated the emulators for the Kindle Fire HD 7" and the Kindle Fire (2nd Generation) to reflect the software in the latest over-the-air software update. To learn more about setting up your development environment with Kindle Fire emulators, click here.

The emulator for the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" is currently available as a beta. Be aware that the user interface and functionality of the beta emulator may not match the experience available in the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" when it is released later this year. 

We've also posted technical specifications and best practices on developing for Kindle Fire tablets, including the Kindle Fire HD 8.9".
