Some portion of the introduction was committed to another cross-stage structure language alluded to as "material plan". Developing the "card" themes previously found in Google Now, it is a plan with expanded utilization of matrix based designs, responsive livelinesss and advances, cushioning, and profundity impacts, for example, lighting and shadows. Planner MatÃas Duarte clarified that "not at all like genuine paper, our advanced material can extend and change brilliantly. Material has physical surfaces and edges. Creases and shadows give significance about what you can contact." The material plan language won't just be utilized on Android, however over Google's suite of web programming too, giving a predictable encounter over all stages.
Features
Android 5.0 presents an invigorated warning framework. Singular warnings are presently shown on cards to hold fast to the material structure language, and bunches of notices can be assembled by the application that created them. Warnings are presently shown on the lock screen as cards, and "heads up" notices can likewise be shown as huge flags over the highest point of the screen, alongside their separate activity catches.

Dissimilar to Dalvik, which utilizes in the nick of time aggregation (JIT), ART assembles applications upon establishment, which are then run only from the gathered form from that point on. This procedure expels the handling overhead connected with the JIT procedure, improving framework execution.
Candy likewise plans to improve battery utilization through a progression of enhancements known as "Venture Volta". Among its progressions are another battery saver mode, work planning APIs which can confine certain errands to just happen over Wi-Fi, and grouping of assignments to decrease the general measure of time that inward radios are dynamic. The new designer device called "Battery Historian" can be utilized for following battery utilization by applications while being used. The Android Extension Pack APIs likewise give designs capacities, for example, new shaders, planning to give PC-level illustrations to 3D diversions on Android gadgets.
Various framework level, endeavor situated highlights were additionally presented under the standard "Android for Work".
