Google is trying to simplify the process of developing Android apps that can be used on different types of devices. For this, the company created a new software development kit (SDK), which contains the necessary tools to implement the functionality of Android apps not only on smartphones and tablets, but also on TVs and even cars.
Finally, developers will be able to create mobile apps that can run not only on Android devices, but also on other operating systems, including Windows and iOS. At this stage, the new SDK will allow developers to perform three main tasks with their applications: discovering nearby devices, establishing a secure connection between them, and hosting applications on multiple devices. To allow the connection of multiple devices, it is proposed to use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or ultra-wide band communication (Ultra-Wide Band).
Google describes different use cases for the new SDK. For example, with its help, several users on different devices will be able to order food simultaneously in the corresponding app, thus forming a common order without having to pass the smartphone to each other. Users will also be able to continue reading any article where they left off when switching from a smartphone to a tablet.
At this stage, a preliminary version of the new SDK is available for developers, which works with Android smartphones and tablets. In the future, Google plans to expand SDK support to other software platforms, including Windows and iOS, but it's not yet known when that will happen.
