android-8.1-oreo

Are there anywhere Android 8.0 (Oreo) API 26 and Android 8.1 (Oreo) API 27 ARM System images (ARM, not x86 Intel) for AVD Manager? Thanks. Unofficial? Beta? Alpha? Any? You should build Android sources for specific platform by yourself The ARM images for API 26 and 27 are not available yet. ARM images available till API 25 only. Note: Google recommended an x86 system image on an x86 host for better emulation performance. Recent updates enabled computers with AMD processors to run Android Emulator and you don't need to install ARM images anymore. Taken from the Android Developers blog: If you

I am working on a media app. I wonder how I can keep some old behavior my app has prior to Oreo, for example, have the notification and the service (for playback) hang in there even if the service is no longer set to foreground.

When user pauses playback, we call stopForeground(false) to

I'm trying to build up a service which requests the device location every minute. I need this to work in background even when the application is closed. So far I managed to make it work on devices which has a pre-Oreo android OS but now I'm testing the service on android Oreo device and is not working when I close or put the application in background. In my research I found that for Oreo devices a Foreground Service with an ongoing notification should be used to achieve this so to start with I've implemented a simple Foreground Service like the below which while started it shows an ongoing

I am using pixel with latest android 8.1.0 update. I am facing issue related to BLE advertisement scanning. Whenever I turned off the screen(i.e power button press) my scanning will stop. it will restart immediately after turn on the screen. I have checked latest code for BLE. google newly introduce this feature ( Reference Link ). Is there any way to skip this part, I mean scan should not stop regardless of the screen on or off. As of Android 8.1, unfiltered bluetooth scans are blocked when the screen is turned off. While it is surprising for such a dramatic change to be made in a minor
