Microsoft Office apps get inking and SD card support Word gets touch friendly tables
Microsoft Office apps get inking and SD card support Word gets touch friendly tables
In the latest series of updates to Microsofts Office apps for Android, the headlining feature is inking support with a couple of other minor additions. Of those, the one most likely to affect your day-to-day use is that each app now allows for saving to SD cards.
Still, the most exciting part of these updates is inking. As the name suggests, this is digital ink. You can draw with your finger or stylus, as I did in the image below.

Android Support Library 23 1
Android Support Library 23 1
Posted by Ian Lake, Developer Advocate
The Android Support Library is a collection of libraries available on a wide array of API levels that help you focus on the unique parts of your app, providing pre-built components, new functionality, and compatibility shims.
With the latest release of the Android Support Library (23.1), you will see improvements across the Support V4, Media Router, RecyclerView, AppCompat, Design, Percent, Custom Tabs, Leanback, and Palette libraries. Let’s take a closer look.
Support V4
The Support V4 library focuses on making supporting a wide variety of API levels straightforward with compatibility shims and backporting specific functionality.
NestedScrollView is a ScrollView that supports nested scrolling back to API 4. You’ll now be able to set a OnScrollChangeListener to receive callbacks when the scroll X or Y positions change.
There are a lot of pieces that make up a fully functioning media playback app, with much of it centered around MediaSessionCompat. A media button receiver, a key part to handling playback controls from hardware or bluetooth controls, is now formalized in the new MediaButtonReceiver class. This class makes it possible to forward received playback controls to a Service which is managing your MediaSessionCompat, reusing the Callback methods already required for API 21+, centralizing support on all API levels and all media control events in one place. A simplified constructor for MediaSessionCompat is also available, automatically finding a media button receiver in your manifest for use with MediaSessionCompat.
Media Router
The Media Router Support Library is the key component for connecting and sending your media playback to remote devices, such as video and audio devices with Google Cast support. It also provides the mechanism, via MediaRouteProvider, to enable any application to create and manage a remote media playback device connection.
In this release, MediaRouteChooserDialog (the dialog that controls selecting a valid remote device) and MediaRouteControllerDialog (the dialog to control ongoing remote playback) have both received a brand new design and additional functionality as well. You’ll find the chooser dialog sorts devices by frequency of use and includes a device type icon for easy identification of different devices while the controller dialog now shows current playback information (including album art).
To feel like a natural part of your app, the content color for both dialogs is now based on the colorPrimary of your alert dialog theme:
<!-- Your app theme set on your Activity --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDark</item> <item name="alertDialogTheme">@style/AppTheme.Dialog</item> </style>
<!-- Theme for the dialog itself --> <style name="AppTheme.Dialog" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert"> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDark</item> </style>
RecyclerView
RecyclerView is an extremely powerful and flexible way to show a list, grid, or any view of a large set of data. One advantage over ListView or GridView is the built in support for animations as items are added, removed, or repositioned.
This release significantly changes the animation system for the better. By using the new ItemAnimator’s canReuseUpdatedViewHolder() method, you’ll be able to choose to reuse the existing ViewHolder, enabling item content animation support. The new ItemHolderInfo and associated APIs give the ItemAnimator the flexibility to collect any data it wants at the correct point in the layout lifecycle, passing that information into the animate callbacks.
Note that this new API is not backward compatible. If you previously implemented an ItemAnimator, you can instead extend SimpleItemAnimator, which provides the old API by wrapping the new API. You’ll also notice that some methods have been entirely removed from ItemAnimator. For example, if you were calling recyclerView.getItemAnimator().setSupportsChangeAnimations(false), this code won’t compile anymore. You can replace it with:
ItemAnimator animator = recyclerView.getItemAnimator(); if (animator instanceof SimpleItemAnimator) { ((SimpleItemAnimator) animator).setSupportsChangeAnimations(false); } AppCompat
One component of the AppCompat Support Library has been in providing a consistent set of widgets across all API levels, including the ability to tint those widgets to match your branding and accent colors.
This release adds tint aware versions of SeekBar (for tinting the thumb) as well as ImageButton and ImageView (providing backgroundTint support) which will automatically be used when you use the platform versions in your layouts. You’ll also find that SwitchCompat has been updated to match the styling found in Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Design
The Design Support Library includes a number of components to help implement the latest in the Google design specifications.
TextInputLayout expands its existing functionality of floating hint text and error indicators with new support for character counting.
AppBarLayout supports a number of scroll flags which affect how children views react to scrolling (e.g. scrolling off the screen). New to this release is SCROLL_FLAG_SNAP, ensuring that when scrolling ends, the view is not left partially visible. Instead, it will be scrolled to its nearest edge, making fully visible or scrolled completely off the screen. You’ll also find that AppBarLayout now allows users to start scrolling from within the AppBarLayout rather than only from within your scrollable view - this behavior can be controlled by adding a DragCallback.
NavigationView provides a convenient way to build a navigation drawer, including the ability to creating menu items using a menu XML file. We’ve expanded the functionality possible with the ability to set custom views for items via app:actionLayout or using MenuItemCompat.setActionView().
Percent
The Percent Support Library provides percentage based dimensions and margins and, new to this release, the ability to set a custom aspect ratio via app:aspectRatio. By setting only a single width or height and using aspectRatio, the PercentFrameLayout or PercentRelativeLayout will automatically adjust the other dimension so that the layout uses a set aspect ratio.
Custom Tabs
The Custom Tabs Support Library allows your app to utilize the full features of compatible browsers including using pre-existing cookies while still maintaining a fast load time (via prefetching) and a custom look and actions.
In this release, we’re adding a few additional customizations such as hiding the url bar when the page is scrolled down with the new enableUrlBarHiding() method. You’ll also be able to update the action button in an already launched custom tab via your CustomTabsSession with setActionButton() - perfect for providing a visual indication of a state change.
Navigation events via CustomTabsCallback#onNavigationEvent() have also been expanded to include the new TAB_SHOWN and TAB_HIDDEN events, giving your app more information on how the user interacts with your web content.
Leanback
The Leanback library makes it easy to build user interfaces on TV devices. This release adds GuidedStepSupportFragment for a support version of GuidedStepFragment as well as improving animations and transitions and allowing GuidedStepFragment to be placed on top of existing content.
You’ll also be able to annotate different types of search completions in SearchFragment and staggered slide transition support for VerticalGridFragment.
Palette
Palette, used to extract colors from images, now supports extracting from a specific region of a Bitmap with the new setRegion() method.
SDK available now!
There’s no better time to get started with the Android Support Library. You can get started developing today by updating the Android Support Repository from the Android SDK Manager.

Inkwire is a new app that could improve the remote support experience
Inkwire is a new app that could improve the remote support experience
Update, July 22: Duttas Inkwire is now available as a beta. To try it out you will need to join a Google Plus community and then download it from the Play Store. You can get started right here.
Original post, July 15: You may recognize the name Koushik Dutta – hes the developer behind Vysor, an app that lets you control your Android smartphone on a desktop, as well as other popular Android apps. And hes back again, this time with an app called Inkwire.
Vysor and Inkwire do similar tasks, but are different in significant ways. Before Vysor, apps that let you remotely access and control your smartphone required rooting, or the frame rates simply dropped to a point where even simple tasks like typing became torture.
Vysor, however, was one of the first to offer an intuitive and responsive experience. All you had to do was launch the Vysor extension on Chrome, connect and turn on USB debugging on your device, and you could control your phone with your mouse and keyboard. Simple as that.
Inkwire is set to give you the same easy method of remote access, except you dont need a desktop or ADB. According to Koush, Inkwire is "just plain old Android to Android screen sharing, without the cords." The app generates a code that is shared with another user to grant them access to your screen.
Since ADB is not required, you wont be able to control the remote users smartphone directly; however, Inkwire will let users draw over the shared screens to show where to touch. On top of that, Inkwire supports voice chat, which will no doubt facilitate communication between users.
If Inkwire is able to provide a smooth and intuitive but also secure experience, it may shift the paradigm of troubleshooting your Android device. No longer will you have to walk around your neighborhood, looking for a phone repair shop, as many things could be done virtually.

Although we dont know the official release date for the app just yet, Koush promises that the beta link is coming soon to this community page for Inkwire.
