199KitKat has been optimized to run on a much broader range of devices, with special focus on the millions of entry-level devices that have as little as 512MB RAM. To help, we've created new APIs, better tools, and better documentation to let you create apps that perform well on all devices.<br>
200Check out this video summary of some of the most significant developer features in the latest Android release, including new ways to make your apps beautiful, NFC Host Card Emulation, a printing framework, the storage access framework, low-power step detector and step counter sensors, and more!<br>

206Android 4.4 (API level 19) introduces a new version of WebView that is based on Chromium. This change upgrades WebView performance and standards support for HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript to match the latest web browsers. Any apps using WebView will inherit these upgrades when running on Android 4.4 and higher.

247<h4>Android 4.4 Transitions</h4>
248In this episode, we introduce the new Transitions API in Android 4.4 Kitkat. This API provides a simple way for developers to provide animated segues to different scenes of their application, helping users to understand the application flow with very little code. The general approach is to tell the system that you'd like to run a transition animation, then make the necessary changes to your UI. The system figures out the differences and animates the changes.

261<p><h4>Android 4.4 Printing API</h4>
262In this video, we introduce the new Printing API in Android 4.4 KitKat. This API provides a simple way for developers to print to cloud-connected printers using Google Cloud Print. It's really easy to print bitmaps, and HTML (that you generate on the device, or just web content).<br>

266<i>Some pro-tips:</i>
267<ul>
268 <li>For Webview/HTML printing, printing from javascript is not supported yet (window.print() for example). Also we are planning to address the limitations around WebView/HTML printing in future releases (eg: headers/footers, and specifying print ranges).</li>
269<li>We encourage developers to open Android Open Source bugs for features that they feel important as a feedback.</li>

272<p><h4>App Indexing</h4>
273In this episode we discuss the new App Indexing feature that we recently announced for Google Search for Android.<br>
274Currently, when you do a google search on the web, you get results that are links to websites. With App Indexing, you will be able to point Google Search users on Android directly to content within your app!
275If you’re an Android app developer who has a web presence and you want more control over how your content is accessed from search, via your website or Android app, App Indexing is a great feature for you to explore.
276Also, enabling your website and app for indexing is a way to increase engagement with your app by making the content more discoverable, and more accessible to users directly from the search results page.
