At its I/O 2014 developer conference, Google announced the Android L Developer Preview, a development version of the upcoming Android release. The Developer Preview, available for download from the L Developer Preview site, will enable users to explore features and capabilities of the L release.
Android L
Android L contains support for material design, a comprehensive guide for visual, motion and interaction design across all platforms, devices and apps. Besides, the L update has ART (Android runtime) as a default runtime.
One of the key elements of Google's next major Android update is enhanced notification. Now the lockscreen has the ability to present notifications, and users can choose via Settings whether to allow sensitive notification content to be shown on the lockscreen.
Apart from the features, the announcement missed out on a lot of important details, including what will be the next Android version or, what the Android 'L' stands for.
Android 5.0 for Moto X and Moto G
While Google failed to mention the devices compatible with Android L, a few smartphone manufacturers have revealed their plans for the update.
Motorola Germany has confirmed that the next Android version will be 5.0. Besides, a post on its Facebook account suggests (which has been removed) that Android 5.0 will be coming to Moto X and Moto G this autumn.
