CTOnews.com, January 11 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- Old Android phones are usually unable to use some of the new Android features / features because they cannot upgrade to a new version. However, Google hopes to solve this problem by extending Android SDK.

By expanding Android SDK, Google hopes to provide more Android users with new features and security updates. Google said in its official blog post that expanding Android SDK will not only help app developers develop more flexible applications, but also increase the size of their audience.

Google has extended Android SDK to allow older Android models to access updates such as PhotoPicker API (limited to API level 33 or higher), and now API level 30 can also access PhotoPicker API.

CTOnews.com learned that for features like PhotoPicker, developers can use them on older phones without updating the device. Extending Android SDK,Google allows developers to integrate functionality from AdServices API into their software.
