Where am I? Oh, no building 45 at Googleplex

Adverbs of degree

You just came here and started speaking. And what am I doing again?

Good gravy. Presenting Google Play services 7.3

Welcome to release 7.3 of Google Play Services

and as usual we packed it with lots of new features

that will allow you to build better apps because thats what this is all about

is that you can now connect multiple wearable to your phone

Let's check that out. I can't decide which wearable I'm gonna wear today

I kind of like that back one. But that one is better if I'm going jogging.

Heck, I can't decide. They are all so nice

(INAUDIBLE) since I have Google Play services 7.3 installed

So this capability allows you to create a network of wearable note

all connected to a single phone and since there can be more than to note

We are introducing the Channel API in the way we date the API which allows you to send large files

or even stream data between two individual note

but how would you know which note you should communicate with

For example if you want to download something. That's the job of the new capability API

which allows your app to locate note supporting a given capability over to the many new things in Google fit

Many things in life are not based on a daily cycle

Fitness however is all about today like how many steps have you taken today

how many calories have you put in your body today

The history API now provides this method "readDailyTotal"

which aggregates data for a given data types from midnight to the current time of day

and then it returns to daily total. For example how many steps have I taken today

and since everyone's always talking about how many steps everyone's taken every day

The type step count Delta datatype can now be queried by all apps

on all devices without requiring any of indication

but fitness is not only about activity. It is also about what you put into the body

So therefore "Nutrition Data Types" have been added

enabling you to record things like protein, fat,

Turning to location where you now specify a maximum wait time for location updates which enables the system to batch location updates together to reduce battery consumption

and remember the location settings dialog we introduced in the last release

Well, in addition to location updates, it is now also possible to get notified when location setting things are changing by getting location availability updates.

This release also has enhancedment to the common package where Google API Client now allows June to add optional API through the add API if available.

So if you previously had to have multiple connections flow for the phone and a wearable for example

you can now use the feature to simplify shortcode

but check out these resources to get the details and remember Google Play services enables you to build better apps

and now it's your turn to go out there and create these great apps.
