Announcement of a new version of the operating system Android 5.0 L marked by a series of significant changes. Google is not limited to new design and other nice cosmetic changes the lock screen . Revised the very foundations of the OS. Including Wednesday launch applications was replaced with Dalvik on Android Runtime, or ART, as it is more commonly called. Why is it so important? Precompiles application at the first start will allow the user to feel the speed boost. Every experienced Android user is desirable to know something about ART, otherwise these issues will arise in the process of working with the operating system.
Browser AndroidPIT Chris Carlon identified three things that characterize the new environment to run applications and allow users to understand their knowing how and what has changed in the new operating system.
If any indicator is increasing, decreasing the other and vice versa. In this case, increase the speed of applications and a more lenient attitude to the battery is the reverse side, which should be remembered. Applications will take up more space on the drive unit, and every first launch of the new program will be sustained.
But when you refer to the application the next time it is loaded not only faster, but also to a lesser extent loads “hardware” device which, in turn, will not be so demanding on the battery. However, today there are 16 ways to save electricity mobile.
Applications will run faster, but will take up more space drive
If the application is always ready to run, it will take up more space on the media. Since the code has been compiled in his first start and was then stored in memory instead of compiled each time you start the application. This means that the storage volume of all this information would require more space.
This can cause problems if not enough capacious drive your Android-powered devices, but will increase the speed. It better or worse? On this score may be different opinions. Users Android One, Moto E and other budget devices will not be thrilled when ART environment becomes the default application launcher.
ART Android 5.0 L saves energy
If all the applications on your phone pre-compiled, the CPU load every time you start dropping. This means that less energy is required and the battery slowly empties. But this pleasant moment there is a downside. The first boot the phone will be long, especially if the device is overloaded “bloated” software pre-installed. Unfortunately, the same thing happens when you first load each new application. But every next time it boots faster.
ART Android 5.0 L faster than you can imagine
The version of ART, which can be found in the preliminary version of Android 5.0 L for developers who do not give a complete picture of the possibilities of the new environment to run applications. Google announced the transition to ART during the presentation of Google I / O. The search giant said proudly that ART will be twice as fast Dalvik and showed the audience a beautiful graph proves this assertion. This schedule is based on the benchmark tests.
Among other announcements bright presentation of these items are “lost” and not all pay attention to them. According to Google, the other benchmark showed a threefold superiority in speed over ART Dalvik. Google says that these results largely give an idea of what speed you can expect from the final release of Android 5.0 L.
Google just thought it best results of two benchmark tests to select the most modest. If ART really will be so fast medium run, it will be just great.
As you consider whether to increase the rate of increase in the volume occupied by the application memory? And maybe, ART is even more significant improvement Android 5.0 L, than Material Design?
