Topic: Android 8.1 preview is out now !

[piipo]

Hi all Android fans,

Android 8.1 preview is out now for beta testing and features new API's such as

• Android Go memory optimizations and targeting
• Neural Networks API
• Autofill enhancements
• Shared memory API

I guess that Neural networks API is quite interesting, or is this the beginning ? (machine learning)

Android Development team plan to release the new update in December and if you have a Pixel or Nexus you may sign up and get your device enrolled for the test on Android Beta.

For non-Nexus devices you may use the Android 8.1 emulator.

Full details please visit Android Developer Blog.

be well,
piipo
