Just in these terms Google introduced an interesting novelty which concerns the development of app and which should involve all developers working in the Android sector. Google has just launched a new SDK for multi device app.

The novelty introduced by Google consists in a new development tool for apps, and is therefore aimed exclusively to developers who create their products for the Android world. The new SDK bases the concept of cross device on the connectivity Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ultra wide band (UWB).

The main objectives of the new SDK consist in the development of Android apps that are able to:

• Discover i nearby devicesthrough the Nearby Share protocol.
• to establish secure connections between devices.
• Allow an app experience across multiple devices.

The concept of using the app on multiple devices is much deeper than you think. Google’s idea is to use apps on different devices in a way collaborativein real time. For example, imagine being able to use an app for ordering food at home between different users on different devices, in order to complete the order in real time for different people.

Or be able to to continue to read an article on a different device after it has started read it on another. Or again, to be able share your current location from your smartphone by acquiring it from the Android Auto system during navigation.

In short, the new multi-device app concept that Google has in mind should unify further the various devices that are used, acting as a glue and offering a user experience that is ever closer to what you would have using a single device.

So the new SDK takes into consideration the integration of multi-device apps not only on all Android devices, but also for those based on Android Auto and Google TV / Android TV.

The news is for developers, we expect this transform in news for us end users when developers will be able to fully exploit it to realize their projects. For more details you can refer to complete documentation that Google has published on the official website.
