Good news for
developers!! Now, Google makes easier for developers to integrate
their application in its storage service Drive through the latest
API. Having the new API, it becomes more possible for experts to
enjoy better performance with marvelous features than android drive
integration in the past, said by Google developer advocate Magnus
Hyttsten in his blog.
Java-based Drive Android
API, the native version is still under development. However,
developers can test a previous version that has in Play Services 4.1.
With this API, developers can easily use storage on the device, if it
is not connected to the network. According to Hyttsten, the main
thing is that one shouldn’t have to worry about failed API calls
when his/her device is offline or experiencing network connectivity
problems.
If any problem occurs at
that time, data stored locally and after that, it will be transferred
to Drive by Android’s sync scheduler at the time of connectivity is
reestablished. In this API, one can find specialized functionality
for interacting with files that stored on Drive and of course,
Android user interfaces components. The Drive Android API is
supportable with smartphones and tablets that runs on Android 2.3 and
later versions of the OS.
Hyttsten also said that
API’s addition will have some effect on the total application size.
Additionally, applications that compiled by using the preview version
will persist working on device that using future versions of Play
services. But, some changes of the UI will be expected in future
releases that simply means developers have to rewrite their apps to
take of that.
We all know that online storages are a
packed field and Google is not only company that wants to make their
service more useful by opening third party app integration. For
instance, you will see a number of APIs are offered by Dropbox for
Android app developers and other platform as well. According to
Dropbox’s website, Dropbox might add functionality of saving files
from third party Android or iOS apps soon.
Now
Google Developers can easily integrate their application in Google
Drive with latest API. This latest API makes possible for developers
to enjoy a collection of unexpected features and better performance
as well. So enjoy this feature, by hiring Google developers from Android Development Experts
