Android O will be revealed during Monday’s solar eclipse – and it’s probably Oreo

Monday’s total solar eclipse is nearly here… and so is Android O, apparently. Google invited the press to an event on Monday for the official reveal for the next version of Android – and by this point we’re fairly convinced it’ll be called Oreo.

For everyone else, Google will be livestreaming the Android O reveal starting at 2:40PM EST, just a few minutes before peak eclipse time. Considering most people won’t be in the path of totality, Google will let you experience the eclipse in VR via Google Earth as well. You can head over to Android.com/o to find out more and watch the livestream come Monday.

As usual, Google will be naming the next version of Android after a dessert. Oreo was always the obvious choice, and rightfully so. But given the disappointment of Nougat (which should have been Nutella, of course), we’ve been a little worried.

But Earlier today 9to5Google caught a Google+ post teasing Android O with the filename GoogleOreo_Teaser_0817_noDroids (1).mp4. The post has since been replaced with the more innocuous OctopusTeaser.mp4, but the damage was done.

How can I build an app like Instagram using Java? What languages are used for the front end and database?

Why do people use your application?

Find your target people and How will you attract them on your application.

So designs and functionality matter! You need below points for Design & functionality.

• It is easy to use.
• It has the simple but beautiful design.
• It has many little and nice features.

For this, create some key features in your mind and choose better interface in which you are expert.

I found some modules as provided by Instagram.

Easy registration and authorization : Users can use email or phone number. You can also use social logins which are available on their developer sites(Ex,Social Facebook signup-login API visit Facebook for Developers, Google API visit Google Developers)

Profiles Module : That’s obvious, Every one want to know each other on social media, and another reason is to Identify user from their description or profile photo.You can Keep it simple: Name, avatar, small description and general information or website link. Allow your users to edit, add and remove information in one click (We call it CRUD functionality).

Communication : Most important part of any development. This kinda apps , which shares photo and feelings, you can tell it “social network”. You should add something like Follow or Unfollow, so Users can communicate with each other. You can add submodules like Like, Comment, Share, Direct Message(For chat), Follow etc.

Image customization and filters : Main heart of Instagram. You can put some best and rare filters which can be appreciated by users. No need to put 150–200 filters :)

Posting: purpose of posting is for users, they can share picture(s) from their local directory. So upload module is needed to achieve this functionality. You can also add these as a submodules : post description, mentioning people and adding people on photo (tag in terms of Facebook), Hashtags (Optional), searching (Filter by post,hashtags), so they are necessary.

Push notifications : Its optional for starting level, but you can take permission from users to allow notification, If user allows, you can show blinking notification like Facebook.

I would say, Instagram was made with Python - Django, but if you want to create such an app, you can use any you would like to do!

You need to keep in mind that…

If you are going to make application like Instagram you should have to care about,

Hosting,

Data storage,

Load Balancing,

Monitoring servers

Bingo… You have some basic planning about how to create such applications.

Let me know first when you will create one!

Android O: After Nougat Will Google Call it Android Oreo?

Sorry Guys, After a long time, Finally We are back !

If not Oreo, the guys at Google will really have to think hard for a sweet name of Android O. Here are four other possible names of Android O (or version 8.0) which Google might consider. (Image: Google)

Google has just the released the developer preview of Android version 8.0 and more importantly confirming that there will be something called Android O after N. The preview hasn’t offered much to confirm the features but have already tickled the interests of Android fanbois as to what will Google name Android O.

Of course, it will not be called omelette as the name has to something sweet and the next obvious hint that comes to our mind has to be Oreo. However, Google has always managed to surprise us.

Recalling the name KitKat, it was widely expected that Google would name Android N as Nutella but to everyone’s surprise it was called Nougat. Most Android based out of India had to Google to know Nougat actually is. This time chances are very less that Android O would be named after any Indian sweet dish.

If not Oreo, the guys at Google will really have to think hard for a sweet name of Android O. Here are four other possible names of Android O (or version 8.0) which Google might consider.

1) Android Oatmeal Cookie: With so much focus on the health benefits of oats in India, oatmeal cookie could be a possible name. The Android mascot-shaped cookie could be covered with a lot of oats to highlight the sweetness of Android O.

2) Android Orange: While it can use sweet or sour depending on the source of the fruit, orange can be a simple name for Android O. Google might also think of making it further sweet by calling it Orange Candy or Crush.

3) Android Orellete: You might find it very difficult to taste one in India but orellete is a sweet pastry found in Spain. While the name rhymes well very few knows about it.

4) Android Oregano: Of course, oregano is not sweet but it is widely used with pizzas across the globe. And its medicinal herb with loads of health benefits. Google might consider something healthy this time.

What do you think about Android O ? Please Comment Below ...
