What's lined up for Marshmallow ?

Apart from various api's that will be released in this version of android, there are a bunch of other  things that should intrigue you...



In no particular order, here is the list..


1. An uninstall manager

Its been long time since we have cried and dreamt of having some easy looking interface to clean our device of those freaky, annoying apps that make our phone say....
Out of memory..



Well guess what, this version of android brings in what was needed.

This uninstall manager would be a part of the playstore application.


2. Playstore revamping...V5.9


Playstore has been going under some massive changes to adapt itself to the marshmallow update. The officially signed apk is available here, in case you need it .


3. Fingerprint is here...

Api level 23 (Marshmallow)  will bring a new api for the fingerprint thus my expanding its horizons to a completely new ecosystem.


4. App linking


Do you remember that dialog box asking you to open a link via a mobile app or a browser. Now thats solved by app linking in which you can link urls of your webapp with the mobile app installed in your phone with a small config file installed on your website.
Marshmallow is bringing in alot of variety for the devs and many subtle changes for the users to get them intrigued.

Check out the official api notes to read more about them

Another day of sheer gratefulness

Yesterday, a friend of mine turned 26 and i had another reason to celebrate with him on that day. I am usually not provoked at such situations, for sitting alone contemplating my own life, observing things/mistakes/people around me is what intrigues me the most. However, out of nowhere sometimes i do feel like going out and enjoying myself with the pack of friends that i have, yesterday was one such night. The night usually started the same way, with no specific plan about the place we wanted to visit, arguing about the reasons given by others for not being able to make it to the venue and shouting at each other for being late. Somehow we still reached there with plenty of time to wait for the late comers :D . On entering inside the restaurant, interiors were draped in colors , mostly in bloody red color giving a nocturnal flavor to the whole ambience.
