Android Lollipop 5.0
Android 5.0 "Lollipop" is the latest version of the Android mobile operating system developed by Google. Unveiled on June 25, 2014 during Google I/O, it was made available as official over-the-air (OTA) updates on November 12, 2014 for select devices that run distributions of Android that are serviced by Google, including Nexus and Google Play edition devices, and its source code was made available on November 3, 2014.
One of the most prominent changes in the Lollipop release is a redesigned user interface built around a responsive design language referred to as "material design". Other changes include improvements to the notification system which allow notifications to be accessed from the lockscreen, and to be displayed within other apps as banners across the top of the screen. Internal changes were also made to the platform, with the Android Runtime (ART) officially replacing Dalvik for improved application performance, and changes intended to improve and optimize battery usage, known internally as Project Volta.
