Project Cupcake
Cupcake anyone? Google has done it again. First, they give
us with cherry flavored candy with a sweet but sour after taste. Better known
as the G1, people have noted flaws with the Android hand-set and has led to
Google’s plan to devise another scheme-a revision of the Android Platform code
named “Cupcake.” Project Cupcake is
basically Google’s attempt at eradicating the sour after taste whenever you
have a piece of that Android candy. It includes bug fixes and minor improvements
to improve the android user experience. Here are some of the expected upgrades:
1. The Music Player stops playing when a call comes in and
resumes
after the call is complete. With Cupcake, the music player will slowly
ramp up the volume after the call is completed.
2. The streaming audio interface is more flexible than
InputStream.
You can build an InputStream interface on it, and we will probably
release some sample code for it. Take a look at the AudioTrack and
AudioRecord classes in the git tree:
3. Cupcake provides support for streaming microphone input
to a Java app
and streaming audio from a Java app into the audio mixer.
4. Video Recording.
5. New JavaScript engine in browser.
These are some of the features expected to come with the
release. More news on Android soon on your number one source for G1 news:- www.tmobileg1applications.com
