Recently, a number of foreign media leaked the new Android multitasking interface that Google is testing, which contains two new mechanisms, one is the “Bubble Bar” tested in Android 16, and the other is the “mini action sheet” (Tiny Taskbar) that continues to be developed on mobile phones. ” “Bubble Bar” (Bubble Bar) appeared in Android 16 Beta 4. For the first time, Google opened “Bubble” for all applications, allowing any application to be turned into a small window that can be put away. Users only need to press the home screen icon and click the “Bubble” option to shrink the current application into a movable circular logo, which is fixed to the new “Bubble Bar” at the bottom of the screen, similar to the small window mechanism. Unlike the traditional split-screen mode (splitting the screen in two to run two applications at the same time), the bubbled applications are not displayed side by side or side by side, but individual applications pop up in the form of floating windows, ensuring that the current main application takes up most of the screen. When the picture “bubble bar” is not expanded, it only occupies a small corner at the bottom of the screen. When expanded, it will present all fixed applications in the form of an exhaust bubble. Users can achieve “one-click switching” by clicking on the bubble, which greatly reduces the operation of repeatedly calling up the recent task list. Google is also testing to distinguish bubble categories for different types of applications (such as chat, notes, shortcuts, etc.), and is fixing the background survival ability of applications in bubble mode to ensure smooth switching and resource release. In addition, Google is adapting the bottom action sheet launched from Android 12L on the tablet to mobile phones, codenamed “mini action sheet”. The action sheet retains the feature that the tablet version can be persistently or temporarily hidden, and synchronizes the ability to quickly access fixed applications. In the latest update, Google fixed the problem of duplicate navigation handles (horizontal lines at the bottom) after enabling the action sheet, and added a recent application marquee similar to “Alt + Tab” on the computer. You can turn left and right to view the last six applications, but currently you can’t switch directly by clicking, and the action sheet will be cut off under the 5 × 5 home screen grid, and the display is not perfect. The picture “bubble bar” is expected to debut with the official version of Android 16, and the “mini action sheet” will be launched in the follow-up Android 16.x update, and there are even rumors that Google will launch a desktop mode similar to DeX in Android 17, further turning the phone into a portable productivity end point.
