The aboriginal examination body of Android P brought affluence of changes, but one aspect remained the same: As the iPhone X exchanged buttons for gestures, Google was still application the aforementioned three on-screen buttons we're acclimated to. That is, until now. Google appears to be basic action controls for their accessible Android 9.0 release.
Rumors of Google's new action controls accept broadcast in contempo weeks, but we had no beheld affidavit of their actuality until the aggregation accidentally showed us in an different blog post. The aggregation after circumscribed the screenshot to adumbrate the new aeronautics bar, but not afore the internet got its eyes on Android's apparent future.
Unfortunately, this aeronautics bar doesn't abide in the accepted Android P preview, but is in development at Google. A antecedent tells 9to5Google's Stephen Hall that the new arrangement works abundant like the iPhone X's, with a swipe-up action for multitasking (as the multitasking button has been removed). The aback button reportedly disappears back not in use, and is not apparent on the home screen.
Stephen Hall went on to brainstorm on how the new arrangement ability work. According to his latest post, the pill-shaped button at the basal will serve as a home button, acceptation you still tap it to go home. However, you'll now be able to bash up on this button to admission the contempo apps menu, which has been afflicted to a horizontally-scrolling account instead of a vertically-scrolling one.
So it's not absolutely a swipe-based aeronautics arrangement — in fact, it pales in allegory to the iPhone X's 12 different bash gestures — but it's a start. Hopefully we'll get to analysis this arrangement in some anatomy with the accessible DP2 absolution of Android P, which is slated to bead in aboriginal May. That will accord Google affluence of time to assignment out any kinks with the new arrangement afore the accessible Android 9.0 absolution in Q3 2018.
