Google will release 3rd Android 11 developer preview in May 2020. According to Google , the first beta version of Android 11 is due to be released in May 2020, and platform stability should be achieved in June. Google has released a new developer preview of Android 11. The third pre-release now brings some new features that could make it easier for programmers. The Exit Reasons API, for example, can be used to get details after an app suddenly quits. In the third preview version, Google updated the API based on user suggestions. The new ADB incremental mode should speed up the transfer of files via ADB (Android Debug Bridge). The installation of very large APK files via ADB can sometimes take a long time and thus reduce productivity.  Thanks to ADB Incremental, the transfer of files with more than 2 GB should be up to ten times faster. In the pre-release version, the new mode only works with the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, but after the start of Android 11, all new devices...

Google provides free access to stadia for game streaming

on


Now all players can try out Stadia from Google - but for the time being because of the corona crisis only with a maximum resolution of 1080p.

Google has started to offer its game streaming service Stadia even without a paid subscription. That sounds a bit strange, but there are reasons for that: First, it is not officially the previously announced free base version. Instead, you can use the Pro version, which is actually subject to a fee, for two months free of charge.

Second, the roll-out is now happening in 14 countries but it can take up to 48 hours to get access. Google announces all of this in its blog and connects it more or less directly to the corona pandemic.

Video games can be a way to share with friends and family at a distance too good to spend time, writes the company on his blog. We suspect that given the initial restrictions, Google wanted to offer something for all players as soon as possible instead of waiting for base.

Due to the corona crisis, the maximum possible resolution on some devices is temporarily limited from 4K to 1080p. This is to prevent network overload: In 4K, Stadia claims to send up to 20 GB per hour through the data lines. In 1080p there is a maximum of 12.6 GB and at 720p around 4.5 GB per hour.

The new members get access to nine games, including Grid, Destiny 2 - The Collection and Thumper. You can buy more games like on Steam or in similar shops. After the two free months, the subscription must be paid $11 per month. Anyone who is already a Stadia Pro member will not be charged for the next two months. The subscription can be canceled at any time.

Stadia runs on PCs in Chrome, on all operating systems supported by the browser. Mobile devices with iOS and Android are also supported - the latter only on selected smartphones and tablets.

The game streaming service can also be used with a Chrome-Cast Ultra. Registration is via the official website of the service. The usual mouse-keyboard combination can be used on the PC for control. A compatible gamepad can be coupled to mobile devices.
