Existing applications can seamlessly participate in the new holographic UI theme without code changes, by adding a single attribute in their manifest files. Users can also connect full keyboards over either USB or Bluetooth, for a familiar text-input environment.
Text Selection : Text Selection is fine grained. Action Bar : In every application, users have access to contextual options, navigation, widgets, or other types of content in an Action Bar, displayed at the top of the screen. The Action Bar is always present when an application is in use, although its content, theme, and other properties are managed by the application rather than the system.
The platform provides each application with its own instance of the Action Bar at the top of the screen. System Bar is maintained across the applications at system level. It is always visible at the bottom of the device. It is interactive and has buttons to view recent apps, redesigned notifications area to get expanded network information, rich notifications and all are public API.
Bookmarks and history are presented and managed in a single unified view. Users can now choose to automatically sign into Google sites on the browser with a supplied account and sync bookmarks with Google Chrome. New multitouch support is now available to JavaScript and plugins.
Users can enjoy a better browsing experience at non-mobile sites through an improved zoom and viewport model, overflow scrolling, support for fixed positioning, and more.
The Camera application has been redesigned to take advantage of a larger screen for quick access to exposure, focus, flash, zoom, front-facing camera, and more. To let users capture scenes in new ways, it adds built-in support for time-lapse video recording. The Gallery application lets users view albums and other collections in full-screen mode, with easy access to thumbnails for other photos in the collection.
The Contacts app uses a new two-pane UI and Fast Scroll to let users easily organize and locate contacts. The application offers improved formatting of international phone numbers as user types, based on home country and an international number parsing library.
Contact information is presented in a card-like UI, making it easier for users to read and edit contacts. The Email application uses a new two-pane UI to make viewing and organizing messages more efficient. The app lets users select one or more messages, then select an action from the Action Bar, such as moving them to a folder.
Users can sync attachments for later viewing and keep track of email using a home screen Widget. It offers all of the tools developers need to create incredible visual and interaction experiences on these devices. Activity fragments, for greater control of content and design flexibility.
Starting with Android 3. For example, an application can use a set of Fragments to create a true multipane UI, with the user being able to interact with each pane independently. Fragments can be added, removed, replaced, and animated inside an Activity dynamically, and they are modular and reusable across multiple Activities.
Because they are modular, Fragments also offer an efficient way for developers to write applications that can run properly on both larger screen as well as smaller screen devices. The new UI widgets are redesigned for use on larger screens such as tablets and incorporate the new holographic UI theme. Most of the redesigned UI widgets can now be used as remote views in application widgets displayed on the home screen. Applications written for earlier versions can inherit the new Widget designs and themes.
Home screen widgets are popular with users because they offer fast access to application-specific data directly from the home screen. Other widgets let you browse your calendar, flick through news stories or see the current weather for your area, without ever opening a thing.
The idea of widgets, of course, isn't new to Honeycomb; as any Android smartphone user knows, widgets have long been a part of Google 's mobile operating system. With Honeycomb, however, widgets have become more interactive than ever -- you can now scroll, flick and interact within the widgets themselves.
And given the large screen size of a tablet, their potential becomes far more significant. On a single screen of the Xoom, for example, I'm able to simultaneously see my inbox, my upcoming appointments and my local weather forecast. I also have scrollable access to all of my Chrome bookmarks, synced continuously from my PC.
I'd imagine that after growing accustomed to this kind of advanced-usage scenario, many users would be reluctant to return to the static environment a platform like Apple's iOS provides.
Honeycomb, like past Android versions, also affords you the freedom to use your home screen space as you see fit; you can drop any combination of widgets and app shortcuts where you like. The actual method for customizing is quite different in Honeycomb than in previous Android releases; while it may be an adjustment for Android phone users, it strikes me as a far more intuitive approach. On an Android smartphone, adding a widget requires you to either long-press your home screen or tap your phone's "menu" button to find the command.
