New Release JAVA 7





On July 7, 2011, Oracle hosted multiple events around the world to celebrate an important milestone—the release of Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 7. With contributions from Java users around the world, Java 7 is an affirmation of the vibrancy of the Java community and of Oracle’s ongoing commitment to the language and technology.

And now, Java 7 is available for download.

This important release is the result of nearly five years of industry-wide development. This process involved open reviews, weekly builds, and extensive collaboration—all between Oracle engineers and members of the worldwide Java community via the OpenJDK project. In fact, Java SE 7 Reference Implementation is based entirely on the OpenJDK open source code.

Google re-branded the support Android libraries to AndroidX

It is important to note, you cannot mix AppCompat and Jetpack in the same project. You must convert everything to use Jetpack if you want to upgrade. The support library artifacts are being deprecated and all future development is going into AndroidX , so there's no avoiding this migration. Alan Viverette sums this up nicely: “There won’t be a 29.0.0, so Android Q APIs will only be in AndroidX” The stable release of 28.0.0 will be the final feature release packaged as android.support . All subsequent feature releases will only be made available as androidx-packaged artifacts. Below tips will give you a clearer transition path. The current version of AppCompat (v28.x) is exactly the same as AndroidX (v1.x). In fact, the AppCompat libraries are machine generated by changing maven coordinates and package names of the AndroidX codebase. For example, android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity is now androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity For a complete listi...

Android Beginners Guide

                                                                                                               Android Operation System: Android is an operating system based on Linux with a Java programming interface. It provides tools, e.g. a compiler, debugger and a device emulator as well as its own Java Virtual machine (Dalvik Virtual Machine - DVM). Android is created by the Open Handset Alliance which is lead by Google. Android uses a special virtual machine, e.g. the Dalvik Virtual Machine. Dalvik uses special bytecode. Therefore you cannot run standard Java bytecode on Android. Android provides a tool "dx" which allows to convert Java Class files into "dex" (Dalvik Executable) files. Android ...

Kotlin and Android

Kotlin is now an official language on Android. It's expressive, concise, and powerful. Best of all, it's interoperable with our existing Android languages and runtime.

In the opened dialog, search for Kotlin , select the corresponding plugin and press Install . Kotlin for Android Development: Kotlin is a great fit for developing Android applications, bringing all of the advantages of a modern language to the Android platform without introducing any new restrictions. Compatibility: Kotlin is fully compatible with JDK 6, ensuring that Kotlin applications can run on older Android devices with no issues. The Kotlin tooling is fully supported in Android Studio and compatible with the Android build system. Performance: A Kotlin application runs as fast as an equivalent Java one, thanks to ver...
