Google I/O Developer conference 2015.

Google I/O developer conference 2015 unveiled new version Android M. It looks very promising.

As told, there are now over 4,000 apps for Android Wear and designers have created more than 1,500 watch faces. 

There is deeper integration of Google Now into Android. So, Google Now cards will be able to appear everywhere in the phone, ready to be called up within apps or the Web via a feature Google calls "Now on Tap". Will get quick answers to quick ques. Eg: card on a movie/event while sending email.

 With M, the app will download and install without presenting permissions required, but then ask for those permissions at the time it is first looking to take action.

Android Studio Ide is the tool everyone should use for app development.

On testing end, Google is adding a feature into its tools that lets developers run automated tests of their Android code against 20 popular devices at no charge. It builds on last year’s acquisition of Appurify.

Android developers will be able to have their own home page within Google Play and use it to promote a specific app.

And much much  more.. Checkout here on the event details. Or follow them on Twitter #IO15 or Twitter @googledevs

Android M is due out later this year.
