Android 4.0.3 Announced
Android 4.0.3 has been announced just one day after the Verizon Galaxy Nexus had received an update to 4.0.2. Google has increased the API level to 15 and given us the following upgrade to Android 4.0.3.
- Social stream API in Contacts provider: Applications that use social stream data such as status updates and check-ins can now sync that data with each of the user’s contacts, providing items in a stream along with photos for each. This new API lets apps show users what the people they know are doing or saying, in addition to their photos and contact information.
- Calendar provider enhancements. Apps can now add color to events, for easier tracking, and new attendee types and states are now available.
- New camera capabilities. Apps can now check and manage video stabilization and use QVGA resolution profiles where needed.
- Accessibility refinements. Improved content access for screen readers and new status and error reporting for text-to-speech engines.
- Incremental improvements in graphics, database, spell-checking, Bluetooth, and more.
It’s still not known when the update will be applied to the Galaxy Nexus, but it’s sure to be soon from what we’ve heard.
Android 4.0.3 is an incremental release of the Android 4.x (Ice Cream Sandwich) platform family. This release includes new features for users and developers, API changes, and various bug fixes.
For developers, the Android 4.0.3 platform is available as a downloadable component for the Android SDK. The development platform includes a fully compliant Android library and system image as well as a set of emulator skins, sample applications, and more. The downloadable platform includes no external libraries.
