12.15 PM to 1:00 PM – Bhavya Siddappa, Technology Evangelist at Teleca will talk on Dual Display for Android Applications.
From mobile to tablet, Android has gone a long way to emerge as a generic operating system. Dual Drift is a next generation, dual display mobile UI. Dual screens create exiting opportunities for great user experiences and more dynamic UIs with fast actions, adaptive content focus and dual multi-touch. The workshop will explore how to enable dual display on Android platform. Learn how internally Android renders on screen.
About Speaker: Bhavya is responsible for Technology trend evaluation and Analysis within Teleca. A Gold Medalist from Pune University, and has always been passionate about upcoming technology. Her current profile involves doing market research and analysis in the mobile space and providing leading edge technology solutions.
This could be as a vendor specific library as opposed to modifications to the existing framework, but I can see a number of apps being able to make use of two screens in a nintendo-DS style manner (e.g. city guides with a map on one display and details of a selected attraction on the other).

We are aware of the Market implications altering the application
lifecycle to have multiple activities resumed. We do know that the
current Android CDD does not allow this.
As this is our early prototype we took some degrees of freedom and
implemented it this way to be able to utilize both displays.
There are many ways of using a secondary display. It could e.g. be a
smaller “info” display like those on clamshell phones that would be
rendered natively. But we wanted to integrate the display into the
system in order for full Android applications to run there. With the
standard Android activity lifecycle, an activity will be paused
whenever another activity comes in front, hence starting a new
activity on the secondary display will pause the activity on the
primary display. This makes the dual-display concept a little less
useful.
We see a lot of really useful use-cases that can be implemented on
Android devices by having multiple activities running on dual
displays. So is there any way of allowing applications to run on both
displays without breaking the CDD requirements?
