In a blog post, Google announced today that three new demo applications for Android Marshmallow were released. The applications are as usual available via Github repository Google Samples and through the Android browser Studio samples. Android applications are the Direct Share, MidiSynth Android, and Android MidiScope.
The first new sample application that is now available is the Direct Share. It is a new Marshmallow feature that provides APIs to allow users to share content from other sources, as contacts and social networks. Google describes this new service as a model messaging application, or a template.
This demonstration is a model and messaging application, as well as any other messaging applications, it gets intentions to share a simple text. He demonstrates how to show some options directly on the candidate list. When a user shares a text from another application, this sample application will be listed as an option. By using the Direct Share, this also shows some of the contacts directly in the selection window.
The second and third applications demonstrations using a MIDI device with an Android device, so a little different. The second application focuses on using the MIDI API for receive and play messages of this type of media, coming from a connected input device such as a keyboard for example. Among the features of the second application, are enumerating currently available on the unit devices (including name, vendor, capacities, etc.) and notification when MIDI devices are connected or disconnected.
The third application focuses on use the same API for receive and process MIDI signals coming from a connected device. The Android MIDI API (android.media.midi) allows developers to connect a MIDI device to Android and process MIDI signals from it. This sample app shows some basic features of the MIDI API, and the list of currently available devices, notification when MIDI devices are connected or disconnected, and receive MIDI signals. This example simply shows all MIDI signals received on the screen log and will not play any sound to them.
The sample applications are available now through Google Samples, Github repository, and through the browser Android Studio.
