Android и кастомные шрифты или «Да здравствует API 26»

Как было раньше. Краткий обзор

Если было много view где требовались нестандартные шрифты, то мы использовали что-то вроде такого:

view.xml

CustomFontTextView.class

И это я пропустил огромный кусок который отвечает за то, чтобы не писать каждый раз путь к шрифту, а указывать

Ну, или шли на гитхаб и в результате находили Calligraphy (7000 звезд!)

Ни для кого не секрет что этот подход содержал много минусов как в огромном количестве boilerplate кода, так и в том, чтобы сделать это эффективно и где-нибудь не утечь по памяти запрашивая каждый раз Typeface.

Но все изменилось в API 26

Похоже, гугл наконец-то сдался и решил отказаться от навязывания Roboto и сделал удобное подключение сторонних шрифтов, за что ему огромное спасибо.

Линк для тех, кто любит читать в оригинале.

Теперь подключение состоит всего из нескольких несложных шагов:

1. Создаем папку font в res
Resource type выбираем font

2. Перетаскиваем в новую папку все нужные нам в проекте шрифты

3. Создаем файл для семейства шрифтов.

Обратите внимание: я сразу добавил в пример то как должен выглядеть файл, если вы хотите поддерживать и более старые версии Андроида. (Начиная с 14). Если вам повезло и у вас таргет только на супер-новые девайсы, то ваш файл сократится в 2 раза

Ну а дальше остается только наслаждаться сборкой

И у вас больше не болит голова об эффективности 🙂

Android Go: What is it and which phones run it?

Android Go, also known as Android (Go edition), is a stripped-down version of Android designed to run on entry-level smartphones. It’s comprised of three optimized areas — the operating system, Google Play Store, and Google apps — which have been reimagined to provide a better experience on lesser hardware.

Android Go operating system

The Android Go operating system is based on the regular version of Android but it’s optimized to run on smartphones with 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM. The first version of Android Go was modeled on Android Oreo, but the latest iteration is based on Android Pie. Android Go phones receive updates just like regular Android phones; we expect an Android Q Go edition to arrive in the future.

Android Go takes up less space than the regular Android version, giving smartphones with low storage the breathing room to hold more media and apps out of the box — most Android Go smartphones come with 8 or 16 GB of storage.

Devices running Android Go are also said to be able to open apps 15 percent faster than if they were running the regular Android software. Additionally, Google has enabled the “data saver” feature for Android Go users by default to help them consume less mobile data.

Android Go apps

Like the OS, Google has also developed apps to make better use of the device’s memory. These require up to 50 percent less space and perform better on low-end hardware. Android Go smartphones come with only nine pre-installed apps, listed below:

Keep in mind that these apps may be slimmer and faster, but they might be missing a feature or two. For example, you can’t set reminders or control smart home devices with Assistant Go, but you can do most other standard things like set alarms, open apps, and ask various questions.

It’s worth noting that we can expect to see many other Android Go optimized apps in the near future. Developers can already start producing apps for the OS with the help of Google’s Building for Billions development guidelines.

Android Go Play Store

Building a new OS and pre-installed apps package is a great start for Android Go, but what about when people begin using the device in the real world? To help users maintain the lightweight system they set out with, Android Go devices have access to an exclusive version of the Play Store.

The Android Go Play Store offers all of the same content as the regular Play Store, only the storefront is more suited to low-storage devices. It has a featured apps section that recommends apps specifically for Android Go handsets, pointing users in the direction of apps that will be of most benefit to them.

What’s the point of Android Go?

Demand for smartphones in emerging markets like India is on the rise. Google expects its next billion users to come from these countries, where the purchasing power is lower than in the West. That’s why the company wants to provide them with a new generation of affordable, sub-$100 smartphones that work faster, provide more storage, and help reduce data consumption.

It sounds like a brilliant plan on paper, as it could allow Google to increase the number of users of its apps and services. However, software is only one part of the equation. The company has to get as many hardware partners as possible on board that will flood the market with smartphones, which will not only have to be affordable but also easy on the eyes. Let’s face it, no one wants an ugly smartphone.

A few options are already available on the market, which we’ll take a look at next. But before we do, check out our short “Android Go: A promising start” video below to learn even more about Google’s Go initiative.

Best Android Go smartphones

We saw the first batch of Android Go devices at MWC 2018. Six smartphones were announced at the show including the Alcatel 1X and Nokia 1. Since then, many more Android Go devices have been announced by companies like Samsung, Motorola, and Xiaomi. We won’t list them all in this post, but we will show you a handful of the best ones.

Nokia 1 Plus

The Nokia 1 Plus has the same stylings as the original Nokia 1 — one of the original best Android Go phones — but packs some important upgrades.

The screen is an inch bigger, now 5.45 inches with a 75 percent screen-to-body ratio (the Nokia 1 screen to body ratio was closer to 60 percent), while the chipset is faster, and the front and rear cameras are superior. The Nokia 1 Plus also comes with a 16GB storage option, whereas the original was capped at 8GB.

These aren’t necessarily flashy improvements, but they’re welcome improvements to key areas.

The black Nokia 1 Plus costs 99.00 euros (

$111) on Amazon in Europe currently and 79.99 pounds in the UK but it isn’t yet unavailable in India. The original Nokia 1, which is now upgradeable to Android Pie, sells on Amazon India for 3,977 rupees (

$57,88), if you want a cheap alternative.

Nokia 1 Plus specs

• 5.45-inch IPS LCD display with 480 x 960 resolution,

197ppi, 18:9 ratio

Mediatek MT6739WW chipset (quad-core)

1GB of RAM

8GB or 16GB of storage, microSD expansion up to 128GB

Android Go Apps vs Android Regular Apps: Key Differences, Benefits, and New Opportunities

Android Go was introduced in 2017 as part of Google’s ambitious goal to make key Android apps available in lean form across all sorts of devices, including the entry-level Android phones. Android Go was conceptualized to support the common users of low-budget Android devices worldwide. People who cannot afford expensive and state of the art Android smartphones can now use Android Go versions of the popular Google apps. Obviously, this helped Google to reach wider and bigger audience worldwide with a positive impact in respect of expanding the Google app market across developing countries.

What makes Android Go different from the common Google apps? Well, before explaining this, we must introduce the Android Go and how it actually works and the potential benefit it delivers for the end users.

» What is Android Go?

Android Go is the lean and trimmed version of the Android Operating System, which has been launched by Google with the sole aim of running this operating system across low-budget Android phones. Just when the smartphone market is expanding outside of affluent Europe and America, this significant step was taken by Google to grab the expanding market opportunity in different parts of the world.

The move came by Google as a blessing for all those Android users who can’t afford expensive Android devices with high RAM size. With Android Go, the preinstalled or out of the box apps will also grab lesser space than the regular apps.

» Android Go Play Store

Besides launching a new and lean version of the Android operating system, Google also came up with an exclusive Play Store for the Android Go apps. Though as far as the look and feel and the process are concerned, Android Go Play Store is not much different than the traditional one. The only difference at this moment that we need to keep in mind that the new Play Store has fewer apps compared to the traditional one and only accommodates apps that fit the new operating system attributes.

» What are the Key Android Go Apps?

Android Go apps are basically the light and lean versions of the regular Google apps. The Android Go versions are characteristically lean and consume less memory space than the regular apps. As measured and evaluated by the experts, Android Go apps consume at least 50% less memory than the regular Android apps.

Some of the out of the box apps that come as pre-installed with Android Go devices include Google Go, Gmail Go, YouTube Go, Google Maps Go, Google Assistant Go and Files Go, etc. Basically, the “Go” epithet refers to the Android Go versions of the regular Google apps.

» Android Go Edition of Regular Apps to Boost Performance

Since Android Go was made public, Google launched several Go versions of its popular apps for Android smartphones. While using much less storage than regular apps is a key advantage of this new breed of Android apps, the actual impact of this can be ascertained through optimized performance.

While a regular Android version consumes as much as 522 megabytes of space, the Go version of the same app consumes just 80.4 megabytes. This helps to boost the performance of these apps while running on low-budget devices with severe space and RAM constraints. Even the so-called advanced and mid-budget devices can also enjoy better performance with Go apps.

» Key Differences between Android Go and Regular Android Apps

To understand the differences between the Android Go and the regular apps on offer, there is no better way but to focus on a few selected apps. Fortunately, most of the popular and widely used Google apps now have their Android Go versions. Here we would try to shed light on the key aspects of both types of apps.

» Google vs Google Go

The Google Go version is much lighter and simple compared to the regular Google app. The app size is just 12 MB compared to the 166 MB of regular Google app. Thanks to the lean file size the app is downloaded much faster and saves a lot of downloading time. But don’t think, with the downsized version you have to compromise on key features. With the Go version also you get all the key features such as Google Translate, voice search, integrated Google Map, image search and GIF.

» Gmail Go vs Gmail

Gmail is a crucial app which is made available for the low-budget device users as well through the Gmail Go version. Whether in look and feel or performance or key features, it works as good as the regular Gmail app.

» Google Map Go vs Google Map

Google Map Go comes in a leaner version with an APK size of just 0.009 MB, which makes it extremely lightweight compared to the 48 MB file size of the regular Google Map app. In spite of such extremely lightweight volume and size, it offers the crucial feature such as the real-time location sharing.

The only negative aspect is, Google Map Go doesn’t allow navigation feature which requires downloading another app referred to as Navigation for Google Maps Go. Even when you use both the apps, the storage space consumed by them remains much lower than the regular Google Map app.

» YouTube Go vs YouTube

Google even built a lightweight version of the YouTube app. Termed as YouTube Go consumes only 29 MB space compared to the 122 MB file size of the regular YouTube app. In spite of such lean and stripped-off version the Go version of the YouTube allows you to see a video just with a tap. But it doesn’t allow many crucial features as well. On top of that, with YouTube Go you cannot subscribe to many channels that cater high-quality audiovisual contents.

» Google Assistant Go vs Google Assistant

Unlike the other Go versions that have been created by stripping down the earlier app file size, Google Assistant Go has been built as a separate app. In spite of being a lightweight and lean app, it receives the full support of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) of Google Assistant. In spite of the absence of a few features, it offers all that really matters for this popular virtual assistant app. The best thing is, the AI function of the Go version works as good as the regular Google Assistant app.

» Files Go

Google allows downloading and managing Google apps through a Download Manager app that allows browsing the device storage for functions and apps. For Android Go, Google launched a fully fledged Files Go app with some never-before sharing features like file transfer that works much in the fashion of Airdrop feature of iOS.

» How to Build Android Go App?

Now that you have known the differences between Android Go and regular Android apps and have understood the wide-ranging benefits of these lean app versions, it is important to know about the process of creating an Android Go version of the app. Let’s explain the steps briefly.

» Build a Common App

You don’t need to build a different app from scratch. All you need is to create a lean and lightweight version while keeping the same user experience to the optimum extent. The app version for the less-RAM devices should not have a different user experience. By simply using the Android App Bundle, you can reduce more than 60% the size of an app.

» Same App with Slightly Different UX

Sometimes, by reducing the file size, you just cannot keep the same user experience (UX) of the app. In the case of such apps, it would be advisable to build different APKs. While the full-sized APK will hold all UX elements and features for every device, the downsized APK will cater to low-RAM devices with a little stripped-down user experience.

» Building Two Different Apps

Though this has been largely avoided by most Android Go apps as of now, at times, this approach can also be necessary. Just like the new Files Go app of Google, you may need to build an altogether different app for the audience using a low-RAM device.

» Wrapping up

Google understood the importance of building and launching a slimmed-down OS version of the Android principally to cater to the booming market of Android users having access to low-budget smartphones. For Google, the principal focus was to keep the OS and respective app versions lean and lightweight to take on the opportunities of this market. The low file and APK size is crucial to the optimum utilization of the device memory and performance, and in that regard, Android Go apps are fully equipped.

Android development companies should take on the opportunities of this new platform as the Android market is continuously expanding. Android Go apps apart from addressing the user needs of low-RAM devices can also play a crucial role in creating more space and consequently boosting app performance across all Android devices.
