TL;DR 024 — April, 29th, 2016

Google I/O 2016

A few of you asked in the comments of last week’s update: “Timothy, why do you look so tired?” Well, it might be because Google I/O is in 3 weeks. THREE WEEKS! Ok, ok, if you’re as excited as I am, this first link is for you. You can now start planning your Google I/O 2016 schedule. Yay! Just head on over here. Oh, and with I/O getting so close, make sure to use #AskDevShow to let us know who you’d like me to talk to and what questions to ask. We’ll try to add them to the line up.

Virtual reality painting with Tilt Brush

Tilt Brush is a new app that enables artists to use virtual reality to paint the 3D space around them. Trust me, it’s awesome. But it can be difficult to describe how it feels without trying it firsthand. Today, we bring you a little closer in a new Chrome Experiment titled Virtual Art Sessions. Follow the link to observe six world-renowned artists as they develop blank canvases into beautiful works of art. Each session can be explored from start to finish from any angle, including the artist’s perspective — all viewable right from the browser.

Top 5 GCP Next breakout sessions

Recordings of over thirty sessions from GCP NEXT are now up on YouTube. They’re all awesome. But if you’re wondering where you should start, try this list of the top 5.

Android Wear and Round Screens

Building for round screens with Android Wear just got a lot easier. With Android Wear API 23, we introduced a new round resource identifier which helps you separate resource files between round and square devices. Get all the details on the post.

Deprecation of BIND_LISTENER with Android Wear APIs

Also on Android Wear, if your app is using BIND_LISTENER intent filters in your manifest you should know that this API has been deprecated on all Android versions. The new replacement API introduced in Google Play Services 8.2 is more efficient for Android devices. You should migrate to this as soon as possible to ensure the best user experience. All the details are in, you got it, this post right here.

Credential Management API

The latest version of Chrome supports the Credential Management API. It’s a standards-track proposal at the W3C that gives developers programmatic access to a browser’s credential manager and helps users sign in more easily.
