Android Honeycomb is the codename for the third major version of Android, designed for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets; however, it has also been unofficially ported to the Nexus One.[3] It is the eighth version of Android and is no longer supported, as of November 14, 2016. Android Honeycomb debuted with the Motorola Xoom in February 2011.[4][5] Besides the addition of new features, Android Honeycomb introduced a new so-called "holographic" user interface theme and an interaction model that built on the main features of Android, such as multitasking, notifications, and widgets.[6][7]
Features
[edit | edit source]New features introduced in Honeycomb include the following:
- The Email and Contacts apps use a two-pane UI.
- The Gallery app now lets users view albums and other collections in full-screen mode, with access to thumbnails for other photos in a collection.
- The Browser app replaces browser windows with tabs, adds an incognito mode for anonymous browsing, and presents bookmarks and history in a unified view, among other features.
- A redesigned keyboard to make entering text easier on large-screen devices such as tablet computers.
- A Recent Apps view for multitasking.
- Customizable home screens (up to five).
