Google Play Services 4.4 Update Google Maps Android API, Wallet Fragments, Mobile Ads and More

Google, the leading search engine, updated Google Play Services to version 4.4 that includes Games Services, Street View imagery, running and walking detectors, Mobile Ads, and Wallet. This latest version has started rolling out and it is available in your region. So, you will be to download it directly from Google Play. Developers can download the SDK by using the Android SDK manager and started with the new APIs, once it becomes available to download the SDK.


One of the biggest additions, you can see in this update is Google Maps Android API: Street View support. Now, developers can easily embed Street View imagery into an activity and can explore the world via panoramic 360-degree views. Moreover, the tilt and bearing of the Street View camera can be also managed programmatically and camera’s movement can be animated over a given duration.

One can also see the expanded Indoor Maps feature of the API that allows you to turn the default floor picker off, detect when a new building comes into focus, and find the currently-active building and floor. New activity detectors: running and walking has been gained by the Location API. Furthermore, users can also able to detect, whether device is in a vehicle, on a bicycle, on foot, still, or tilting.

Next one is Games Services that includes Game Gifts that allows you to request wishes and gifts. The default requests sending UI has been expanded as there are no external API changes this time to permit users to choose multiple Game Gifts recipients. The Mobile Ads section is also added APIs for publishers to show in-app promo ads that allows users to buy advertised items directly. Lastly, the Instant Buy API has been reworked by Google that allows easy integration Google Wallet Instant Buy into an app. None of these are main additions, but can add some spice to this latest release.
