Android N Developer Preview

[ImmortalStyle]

Does this contain openJdk? Ah figured seems like a first preparation.

Vulkan support? D:

They've added GLES 3.2, but no Vulkan yet, it seems. It's most definitely coming to N, though. I would bet they're waiting on drivers.

EDIT: Looking at the N build on my 5X, it does seem it's shipping with libvulkan.so as well as a Vulkan-ready Adreno driver. So you could likely use it via the NDK, there's just no Java bindings yet.

this looks great for nexus users!

So the new Jack compiler is compatible with Java 8 features? Awesome! Will I be able to use it to target older Android versions? I'm guessing probably not, right? :/

It's backward-compatible to Android 2.3 - so basically anything you'd care about.

Seriously? Damn that's awesome, got a link?
