Marshmallow release and rollout state
● It’s been officially released in October 2015

Runtime Permissions
Runtime Permissions
● Google Play no longer requests permissions at
installation time
● Users can get into your app quicker than ever
before
● Gives more control and visibility to users
● Permissions are simplified using permission groups
Runtime Permissions
● Permission groups contain multiple
permissions and you can get them at once
● If you add a new permission in a new release
the user doesn’t get blocked by them
● The new permission model enhances the
overall User Experience

Doze and App Standby

Doze and App Standby
● These are two power-saving features that extend battery life
● All apps running on Android 6.0 are affected and should be optimized for them
● These modes manage and restrict the behaviour of apps
Understanding Doze Mode
● When the device is unplugged and stationary for a period of time, with the
screen off, the device enters Doze mode
● This mode suspends access to intensive CPU services, network, jobs, sync
adapters and standard alarms
● Provides a maintenance window where those restrictions are disabled
Understanding Doze Mode
Doze Mode Restrictions
● Network access it suspended
● The system does not allow Sync Adapters to run
● Standard AlarmManager alarms are deferred to the next maintenance window
● If you need to set alarms to fire in Doze
mode use setAndAllowWhileIdle() or setExactAndAllowWhileIdle()
● Alarms set with setAlarmClock() continue to fire normally
● The System does not perform WIFI scans
● The system ignores wake locks
● The system does not allow JobScheduler to run
App Standby
● It allows the system to determine that an app is idle when the user is not
actively using it
● App Standby will automatically put unused apps to sleep. It’s basically
disabled.
App Standby
● If the device is idle for long periods of time, the system allow idle apps network
access around once a day
● In standby mode, network access is disabled, and syncs and scheduled jobs
all get shut down. The app won't be able to run any background services
● When the device is plugged, the system releases apps from the standby state

Direct Share
● Provides a direct way of sharing content with your contacts no matter which app they are from
● Improves the share user experience providing a better integration across different apps
● It allows the user to share content directly into another app
● It’s a service that extends ChooserTargetService

Fingerprint Authentication
Juan Pablo Proverbiohttps://nz.linkedin.com/in/proverbio
● Now apps can access the fingerprint hardware. You can also implement your own UI, but you should use the standard fingerprint icon
● Provides a better User Experience because it doesn’t require the user to remember and enter a password or pin
● It’s a good option for signing in, completion of a sensitive operation like buy an item or settings changes, etc.
● The related permission is<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" />

Auto Backup for Apps
Auto Backup for Apps
● The system now performs automatic full data backup and restore for apps
● Your app must target API level 23 to enable this feature
● Auto data backup allows to save user data even when the app is uninstalled from a device
● Enhances User Experience across different devices
● To disable auto backup you should define in the application tag android:allowBackup="false"
● Through a xml configuration file you can define what to include and exclude. Use in the application tag android:fullBackupContent="@xml/mybackupscheme"
<full-backup-content>
<include domain=["file" | "database" | "sharedpref" | "external" |
"root"]
path="string" />
<exclude domain=["file" | "database" | "sharedpref" | "external" |
"root"]
path="string" />
</full-backup-content>
● In earlier Android versions you are still able to provide and use your BackupAgent
