Death Of Android !

I am personally a huge fan of android because of its features and flexibility. As we all know the problem with android is lack of updates. The problem is not with Android, but with large number of companies using it. The companies keep releasing large number of phones. At least three new phones are launched in a week. They release the phones and no longer care about it until it’s a flagship phone. So the end users will not be getting any updates, while Google will keep launching new versions every year.           Well, you might say that one can unlock the boot loader and can flash a new custom ROM. Hey..! But let’s be real. People are not gonna do that until they are geeky or a tech savvy. THINGS THAT GOOGLE HAS DONE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM: 1) Project Treble: Google has started this project with Android Oreo to  solve the problem. The android framework has been modified so that the OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers) can release the updates without much hassle. But fr

There are times when you need to mirror your android screen to your laptop.There are many apps which can do that like airdroid and teamviewer. But the problem with them is the lag.

API Made Simple

We all have heard the word API( Application Programming Interface) , but it's some what confusing. Let us clearly understand it with the help of example. Example : Suppose that you are developing a food delivery app, in that app you need to integrate maps. So in order to do that we must first have the info of the streets, colonies and different areas.It's a difficult task . But for all of us luckily, the data has been already collected and has been presented ( Google Maps).  So, now Google has developed an API through which developers can integrate maps in their Apps. You can design your own front end , but the data is provided by the Google Maps API. In order to use the API , you need an API key. This API key is tied up with your app. With the help of this key , they will be able to track the amount of data that your app has used and then charge accordingly. This was my view of the API.Hope you understood. Thanks for Reading !
