L Android: Google celebrates birthday with ‘lolly-pie “, right Android Lollipop? – Android World

Oh, what a name of an Android version anyway? Not so much: it’s all about the content. Still, we like to know how the next Android version will be called. If you also like it, be sure to read through. Do you care nothing? Save this article with only speculation mainly concerns.

Android Lollipop

Google has become 16 years old and that should be celebrated, of course with a cake. However, Google likes to play games and it would be very well be that the company gives us a hint regarding the name of the next Android version. The cake is completely full because … lollipops. For a cake that is a bit odd, but not as you know Android Lollipop one of the names that we have seen come to the L-release.

many along

In the animated gif (here find), you can see a cake. filled lollipops OK, to be honest, there is also a ‘normal’ sweet on. Piece by piece, the cake cut and removed, until the last piece is gone.

We know that Google Android developers internally L LMP mention. This stands for Lemon Meringue Pie and looks after at the last minute switch from Key Lime Pie to KitKat Android 4.4 a major contender. Lollipop is also a major contender: it seems that Google partner Lenovo in the invitation to a press event earlier this month let out the name. The last contender, we give very little chance Lion. It does not seem likely that Google again for a commercial partnership comes after Android 4.4 (KitKat).

Android Layer Cake

When we look at the last frame in the animation, see who someone tart the final stretch, from within beautiful Material design-like colors has flee away. This person has a blouse with a busy print, just as we are of main Android design Matias Duarte accustomed. Maybe a little far-fetched, but even this could be a subtle hint can be.

And the cake itself? It is a layer cake, a “Layer Cake.” Google would still go for a fourth option and call the new version Layer Cake? Reddit user found it suspiciously, and he found in the database user agents , identification codes that use web browsers, even someone who would run. On Android 5.0.1 (Layer Cake)

The identification codes are usually very easy to falsify. We see many different versions of Android 5.0, probably the version number of Android L, come. Most are Android 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.9 and contain no names, but build numbers. With older Android versions we’ll see devices that use the release name (in this case KitKat) in their identification. Anyway, the user agent is no conclusive evidence

It is also possible that Google keeps track of the name ‘L’, but that seems improbable. Google one finds much fun to play with the names and corresponding mascots and the marketing material is a recognizable image desirable. The many names that we pass this way make us think of what these “antique” Firefox extension that allows Firefox, each time you start a new name. At that time was made in response to the many name changes in short of Firefox because of the fact that there are already companies and projects were found to be with previous names (Phoenix, Firebird and Mozilla Firebird).

Announcement

We expect Android L will be announced next month. There are different rumors circulating about when this will happen. We read earlier that Android L would come in handy, on 1 November, but stories about an announcement on October 16 are also persistent. This would date in any case that the Nexus 9, a Nexus tablet from HTC would be announced and normally that simultaneously with the launch of a new Android version.
