+stylus button presses and perform secondary actions, by registering the new
+{@code View.onStylusButtonPressListener} and {@code GestureDetector.OnStylusButtonPressListener}
+callbacks in your activity.</p>
+
+<p>Use the {@link android.view.MotionEvent} methods and constants to detect stylus button
+interactions:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>If the user touches a stylus with a button on the screen of your app, the

+<li>For apps targeting M Preview, the
+{@link android.view.MotionEvent#getButtonState() getButtonState()}
+method returns {@code MotionEvent.STYLUS_BUTTON_PRIMARY} when the user
presses the primary stylus button. If the stylus has a second button, the same method returns
-{@link android.view.MotionEvent#BUTTON_TERTIARY} when the user presses it. If the user presses
-both buttons simultaneously, the method returns both these values. In addition, the system reports
-the user button-press action to the new {@code View.onStylusButtonPressListener} and
-{@code GestureDetector.OnStylusButtonPressListener} callbacks in your activity, if you have
-registered these listeners in your app.</p>

+<h2 id="hotspot">Hotspot 2.0 Release 1 Support</h2>
+<p>
+This preview adds support for the Hotspot 2.0 Release 1 spec on Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 devices. To
+provision Hotspot 2.0 credentials in your app, use the new methods of the
+{@link android.net.wifi.WifiEnterpriseConfig} class, such as {@code setPlmn()} and
+{@code setRealm()}. In the {@link android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration} object, you can set the
+{@link android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration#FQDN} and the {@code providerFriendlyName} fields.

-<p>This release adds enhancements to audio processing on Android, including: </p>
+<h2 id="4K-display">4K Display Mode</h2>
+<p>The platform now allows apps to request that the display resolution be upgraded to 4K rendering
+on compatible hardware. To query the current physical resolution, use the new
+{@code android.view.Display.Mode} APIs. If the UI is drawn at a lower logical resolution and is
+upscaled to a larger physical resolution, be aware that the physical resolution the
+{@code Display.Mode.getPhysicalWidth()} method returns may differ from the logical
+resolution reported by {@link android.view.Display#getSize(android.graphics.Point) getSize()}.</p>
+
+<p>You can request the system to change the physical resolution in your app as it runs, by setting
+the {@code WindowManager.LayoutParams.preferredDisplayModeId} property of your app’s window. This
+feature is useful if you want to switch to 4K display resolution. While in 4K display mode, the
+UI continues to be rendered at the original resolution (such as 1080p) and is upscaled to 4K, but
+{@link android.view.SurfaceView} objects may show content at the native resolution.</p>
+
+<p>To test the new 4K display mode, simulate a secondary display of a larger resolution using the
+<strong>Developer Options</strong> settings.</p>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-themeable-colorstatelists">Themeable ColorStateLists</h2>
+<p>Theme attributes are now supported in
+{@link android.content.res.ColorStateList} for devices running the M Preview. The
+{@link android.content.res.Resources#getColorStateList(int) getColorStateList()} and
+{@link android.content.res.Resources#getColor(int) getColor()} methods have been deprecated. If
+you are calling these APIs, call the new {@code Context.getColorStateList()} or
+{@code Context.getColor()} methods instead. These methods are also available in the
+v4 appcompat library via {@link android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat}.</p>
+
+<h2 id="audio">Audio Features</h2>

protocol, with the new {@code android.media.midi} APIs. Use these APIs to send and receive MIDI
when an audio device is connected or disconnected.</li>
</ul>
-<h2 id="afw">New Android for Work Features</h2>
-<p>This release includes the following new APIs for Android for Work:</p>
+<h2 id="video">Video Features</h2>
+<p>This preview adds new capabilities to the video processing APIs, including:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>New {@code android.media.MediaSync} class which helps applications to synchronously render
+audio and video streams. The audio buffers are submitted in non-blocking fashion and are
+returned via a callback. It also supports dynamic playback rate.
+</li>
+<li>New {@code MediaDrm.EVENT_SESSION_RECLAIMED} event, which indicates that a session opened by
+the app has been reclaimed by the resource manager. If your app uses DRM sessions, you should
+handle this event and make sure not to use a reclaimed session.
+</li>
+<li>New {@code MediaCodec.CodecException.ERROR_RECLAIMED} error code, which indicates that the
+resource manager reclaimed the media resource used by the codec. With this exception, the codec
+must be released, as it has moved to terminal state.
+</li>
+<li>New {@code MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities.getMaxSupportedInstances()} interface to get a
+hint for the max number of the supported concurrent codec instances.
+</li>
+<li>New {@code MediaPlayer.setPlaybackParams()} method to set the media playback rate for fast or
+slow motion playback. It also stretches or speeds up the audio playback automatically in
+conjunction with the video.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="camera">Camera Features</h2>
+<p>This preview includes the following new APIs for accessing the camera’s flashlight and for
+camera reprocessing of images:</p>
+
+<h3 id="flashlight">Flashlight API</h3>
+<p>If a camera device has a flash unit, you can call the {@code CameraManager.setTorchMode()}
+method to switch the flash unit’s torch mode on or off without opening the camera device. The app
+does not have exclusive ownership of the flash unit or the camera device. The torch mode is turned
+off and becomes unavailable whenever the camera device becomes unavailable, or when other camera
+resources keeping the torch on become unavailable. Other apps can also call {@code setTorchMode()}
+to turn off the torch mode. When the last app that turned on the torch mode is closed, the torch
+mode is turned off.</p>
+
+<p>You can register a callback to be notified about torch mode status by calling the
+{@code CameraManager.registerTorchCallback()} method. The first time the callback is registered,
+it is immediately called with the torch mode status of all currently known camera devices with a
+flash unit. If the torch mode is turned on or off successfully, the
+{@code CameraManager.TorchCallback.onTorchModeChanged()} method is invoked.</p>
+
+<h3 id="reprocessing">Reprocessing API</h3>
+<p>The {@link android.hardware.camera2 Camera2} API is extended to support YUV and private
+opaque format image reprocessing. Your app determine if the reprocessing capabilities are available
+via {@code CameraCharacteristics.REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES}. If a device supports reprocessing,
+you can create a reprocessable camera capture session by calling
+{@code CameraDevice.createReprocessableCaptureSession()}, and create requests for input
+buffer reprocessing.</p>
+
+<p>Use the {@code ImageWriter} class to connect the input buffer flow to the camera reprocessing
+input. To get an empty buffer, follow this programming model:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Call the {@code ImageWriter.dequeueInputImage()} method.</li>
+<li>Fill the data into the input buffer.</li>
+<li>Send the buffer to the camera by calling the {@code ImageWriter.queueInputImage()} method.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>If you are using a {@code ImageWriter} object together with an
+{@code android.graphics.ImageFormat.PRIVATE} image, your app cannot access the image
+data directly. Instead, pass the {@code ImageFormat.PRIVATE} image directly to the
+{@code ImageWriter} by calling the {@code ImageWriter.queueInputImage()} method without any
+buffer copy.</p>
+
+<p>The {@code ImageReader} class now supports {@code android.graphics.ImageFormat.PRIVATE} format
+image streams. This support allows your app to maintain a circular image queue of
+{@code ImageReader} output images, select one or more images, and send them to the
+{@code ImageWriter} for camera reprocessing.</p>
+
+<h2 id="afw">Android for Work Features</h2>

-update must be taken, for example during the hours when a kiosk device is not in use. When a
-system update is available, the system checks if the Work Policy Controller app has set a system
+taken by the user for up to 30 days. Furthermore, an administrator can set a daily time window in
+which an update must be taken, for example during the hours when a kiosk device is not in use. When

+Profile or Device Owner can now silently grant or revoke an app’s permissions by calling
+{@code DevicePolicyManager.setPermissionGranted()}. Granting or revoking a single permission applies
+that setting to all permissions within that runtime permission group; the user is not prompted
+at runtime when any permission from that runtime permission group is required. Furthermore, the
+user cannot modify the selection made by the Profile or Device Owner within the app’s permissions
+screen in <strong>Settings</strong>.

+style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 20px" width="282" height="476" />
+<p>A Profile or Device Owner can also set a permission policy
+for all runtime requests of all applications using
+{@code DevicePolicyManager.setPermissionPolicy()}, to either prompt the user to grant the
+permission as normal or automatically grant or deny the permission silently. If the latter policy
+is set, the user cannot modify the selection made by the Profile or Device Owner within the
+app’s permissions screen in <strong>Settings</strong>.</p></li>
+<li><strong>VPN in Settings:</strong> VPN apps are now visible in
+ <strong>Settings > More > VPN</strong>.
+Additionally, the notifications that accompany VPN usage are now specific to whether that VPN is
+configured for a managed profile or the entire device.</li>
+<li><strong>Work status notification:</strong> A status bar briefcase icon now appears whenever
+an app from the managed profile has an activity in the foreground. Furthermore, if the device is
+unlocked directly to the activity of an app in the managed profile, a toast is displayed notifying
+the user that they are within the work profile.

+
+<p>API Level: M</p>
+<p>Along with new features and capabilities, the M Developer Preview includes a variety of
+system changes and API behavior changes. This document highlights
+some of the key changes that you should be understand and account for in your apps.</p>
+
+<p>If you have previously published an app for Android, be aware that your app
+ might be affected by these changes in the platform.</p>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-runtime-permissions">Runtime Permissions</h1>
+<p>This preview introduces a new runtime permissions model, where users can now directly manage
+their app permissions at runtime. This model gives users improved visibility and control over
+permissions, while streamlining the installation and auto-update processes for app developers.
+Users can set permissions on or off for all apps running on the M Preview. However, apps that
+don’t target the M Preview cannot request permissions at runtime.</p>
+
+<p>On your apps that target the M Preview, make sure to check and request for permissions at
+runtime. To determine if your app has been granted a permission, call the
+new {@code Context.checkSelfPermission()} method. To request for a permission, call the new
+{@code Activity.requestPermission()} method.</p>
+
+<p>For more information on supporting the new permissions model in your app, see
+<a href="{@docRoot}preview/features/runtime-permissions.html">
+Android M Preview Runtime Permissions</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-project-volta">Project Volta</h2>
+<p>This preview introduces new power-saving optimizations for idle devices and apps.</p>
+
+<h3 id="behavior-doze">Doze mode</h3>
+<p>If a device is unplugged and left stationary with the screen off for a period of time, it
+goes into <em>Doze</em> mode where it attempts to keep the system in a sleep state. In this mode,
+devices periodically resume normal operations for brief periods of time so that app syncing can
+occur and the system can perform any pending operations.</p>
+
+<p>The following restrictions apply to your apps while in Doze mode:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Network access is disabled, unless your app receives a high priority Google Cloud Messaging
+tickle.</li>
+<li><a href="{@docRoot}reference/android/os/PowerManager.WakeLock.html">Wake locks</a> are ignored.</li>
+<li>Alarms scheduled with the {@link android.app.AlarmManager} class are disabled, except for
+alarms that you've set with the {@link android.app.AlarmManager#setAlarmClock setAlarmClock()}
+method and {@code AlarmManager.setAndAllowWhileIdle()}.</li>
+<li>WiFi scans are not performed.</li>
+<li>Syncs and jobs for your sync adapters and {@link android.app.job.JobScheduler} are not
+permitted to run.</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p>When the device exists doze mode, it executes any jobs and syncs that are pending.</p>
+<p>You can test this feature by connecting a device running the M Preview to your development
+machine and calling the following commands:
+</p>
+<pre class="no-prettyprint">
+$ adb shell dumpsys battery unplug
+$ adb shell dumpsys deviceidle step
+$ adb shell dumpsys deviceidle -h
+</pre>
+<p class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: The upcmoning
+<a href="{@docRoot}google/gcm/index.html">Google Cloud Messaging</a> release lets you designate
+high-priority messages. If your app receives high-priority GCM messages, it’s granted
+brief network access even when the device is in doze mode.
+</p>
+
+<h3 id="behavior-app-standby">App standby</h3>
+<p>With this preview, the system may determine that apps are idle when they are not in active
+use. Your app is considered idle after a period of time, unless the system detects
+any of these signals:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The app has a process currently in the foreground (either as an activity or foreground service,
+or in use by another activity or foreground service).</li>
+<li>The app generates a notification that users see on the lock screen or in the
+notification tray.</li>
+<li>The user explicitly asks for the app to be exempt from optimizations,
+via <strong>Settings</strong>.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If the device is unplugged, apps deemed idle will have their network access disabled
+and their syncs and jobs suspended. When the device is plugged into a power supply, these apps are
+allowed network access and can execute any jobs and syncs that are pending. If the
+device is idle for long periods of time, idle apps are allowed network access around once a day.</p>
+
+<p>You can test this feature by connecting a device running the M Preview to your development
+machine and calling the following commands:
+</p>
+<pre class="no-prettyprint">
+$ adb shell am broadcast -a android.os.action.DISCHARGING
+$ adb shell am set-idle <packageName> true
+$ adb shell am set-idle <packageName> false
+$ adb shell am get-idle <packageName>
+</pre>
+
+<p class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: The upcoming
+<a href="{@docRoot}google/gcm/index.html">Google Cloud Messaging</a> (GCM) release lets you
+designate high-priority messages. If your app receives high-priority GCM messages, it’s granted
+brief network access even when the app is idle.
+</p>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-adoptable-storage">Adoptable Storage Devices</h2>
+<p>
+With this preview, users can <em>adopt</em> external storage devices such as SD cards. Adopting an
+external storage device encrypts and formats the device to behave like internal storage. This
+feature allows users to move both apps and private data of those apps between storage devices. When
+moving apps, the system respects the
+<a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html#install">{@code android:installLocation}</a>
+preference in the manifest.</p>
+
+<p>If your app accesses the following APIs or fields, be aware that the file paths they return
+will dynamically change when the app is moved between internal and external storage devices.
+When building file paths, it is strongly recommended that you always call these APIs dynamically.
+Don’t use hardcoded file paths or persist fully-qualified file paths that were built previously.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>{@link android.content.Context} methods:
+ <ul>
+ <li>{@link android.content.Context#getFilesDir() getFilesDir()}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.Context#getCacheDir() getCacheDir()}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.Context#getCodeCacheDir() getCodeCacheDir()}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.Context#getDatabasePath(java.lang.String) getDatabasePath()}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.Context#getDir(java.lang.String,int) getDir()}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.Context#getNoBackupFilesDir() getNoBackupFilesDir()}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.Context#getFileStreamPath(java.lang.String) getFileStreamPath()}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.Context#getPackageCodePath() getPackageCodePath()}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.Context#getPackageResourcePath() getPackageResourcePath()}</li>
+ </ul>
+</li>
+<li>{@link android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo} fields:
+ <ul>
+ <li>{@link android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#dataDir dataDir}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#sourceDir sourceDir}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#nativeLibraryDir nativeLibraryDir}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#publicSourceDir publicSourceDir}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#splitSourceDirs splitSourceDirs}</li>
+ <li>{@link android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#splitPublicSourceDirs splitPublicSourceDirs}</li>
+ </ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To debug this feature in the developer preview, you can enable adoption of a USB drive that is
+connected to an Android device through a USB On-The-Go (OTG) cable, by running this command:</p>
+
+<pre class="no-prettyprint">
+$ adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true
+</pre>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-apache-http-client">Apache HTTP Client Removal</h2>
+<p>This preview removes support for the Apache HTTP client. If your app is using this client and
+targets Android 2.3 (API level 9) or higher, use the {@link java.net.HttpURLConnection} class
+instead. This API is more efficient because it reduces network use through transparent compression
+and response caching, and minimizes power consumption. To continue using the Apache HTTP APIs, you
+must first declare the following compile-time dependency in your {@code build.gradle} file:
+</p>
+<pre>
+android {
+ useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
+}
+</pre>
+<p>Android is moving away from OpenSSL to the
+<a href="https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/" class="external-link">BoringSSL</a>
+library. If you’re using the Android NDK in your app, don't link against cryptographic libraries
+that are not a part of the NDK API, such as {@code libcrypto.so} and {@code libssl.so}. These
+libraries are not public APIs, and may change or break without notice across releases and devices.
+In addition, you may expose yourself to security vulnerabilities. Instead, modify your
+native code to call the Java cryptography APIs via JNI or to statically link against a
+cryptography library of your choice.</p>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-audiomanager-Changes">AudioManager Changes</h2>
+<p>Setting the volume directly or muting specific streams via the {@link android.media.AudioManager}
+class is no longer supported. The {@link android.media.AudioManager#setStreamSolo(int,boolean)
+setStreamSolo()} method is deprecated, and you should call the
+{@code AudioManager.requestAudioFocus()} method instead. Similarly, the
+{@link android.media.AudioManager#setStreamMute(int,boolean) setStreamMute()} method is
+deprecated; instead, call the {@code AudioManager.adjustStreamVolume()} method
+and pass in the direction value {@code ADJUST_MUTE} or {@code ADJUST_UNMUTE}.</p>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-test-selection">Text Selection</h2>
+
+<img src="{@docRoot}preview/images/text-selection.gif"
+style="float:right; margin:0 0 20px 30px" width="360" height="640" />
+
+<p>When users select text in your app, you can now display text selection actions such as
+<em>Cut</em>, <em>Copy</em>, and <em>Paste</em> in a
+<a href="http://www.google.com/design/spec/patterns/selection.html#selection-text-selection"
+class="external-link">floating toolbar</a>. The user interaction implementation is similar to that
+for the contextual action bar, as described in
+<a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/menus.html#CABforViews">
+Enabling the contextual action mode for individual views</a>.</p>
+
+<p>To implement a floating toolbar for text selection, make the following changes in your existing
+apps:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>In your {@link android.view.View} or {@link android.app.Activity} object, change your
+{@link android.view.ActionMode} calls from
+{@code startActionMode(Callback)} to {@code startActionMode(Callback, ActionMode.TYPE_FLOATING)}.</li>
+<li>Take your existing implementation of {@code ActionMode.Callback} and make it extend
+{@code ActionMode.Callback2} instead.</li>
+<li>Override the {@code Callback2.onGetContentRect()} method to provide the coordinates of the
+content {@link android.graphics.Rect} object (such as a text selection rectangle) in the view.</li>
+<li>If the rectangle positioning is no longer valid, and this is the only element to be invalidated,
+call the {@code ActionMode.invalidateContentRect()} method.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>If you are using <a href="{@docRoot}tools/support-library/index.html">
+Android Support Library</a> revision 22.2, be aware that floating toolbars are not
+backward-compatible and appcompat takes control over {@link android.view.ActionMode} objects by
+default. This prevents floating toolbars from being displayed. To enable
+{@link android.view.ActionMode} support in an
+{@link android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity}, call
+{@code android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity.getDelegate()}, then call
+{@code android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegate.setHandleNativeActionModesEnabled()} on the returned
+{@link android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegate} object and set the input
+parameter to {@code false}. This call returns control of {@link android.view.ActionMode} objects to
+the framework. In devices running the M Preview, that allows the framework to support
+{@link android.support.v7.app.ActionBar} or floating toolbar modes, while on pre-M Preview devices,
+only the {@link android.support.v7.app.ActionBar} modes are supported.</p>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-keystore">Android Keystore Changes</h2>
+<p>With this preview, the
+<a href="{@docRoot}training/articles/keystore.html">Android Keystore provider</a> no longer supports
+DSA. ECDSA is still supported.</p>
+
+<p>Keys which do not require encryption at rest will no longer be deleted when secure lock screen
+is disabled or reset (for example, by the user or a Device Administrator). Keys which require
+encryption at rest will be deleted during these events.</p>
+
+<h2 id="night-mode">Night Mode (User-configurable Dark Theme)</h2>
+<p>
+Support for the {@code -night} resource qualifier has been updated. Previously, night mode was
+only available when a device was docked and in car mode. With this preview, night mode is
+available on
+all devices and is user-configurable via <strong>Settings > Display > Theme</strong>. You can adjust
+this setting globally using {@link android.app.UiModeManager#setNightMode(int) setNightMode()}. The
+Dark theme corresponds to {@link android.app.UiModeManager#MODE_NIGHT_YES}. When the device is in
+night mode, the resource framework prefers resources that have the {@code -night} qualifier. To
+take advantage of user-configurable Dark mode in your app, extend from the
+{@code Theme.Material.DayNight} set of themes rather than {@code Theme.Material} or
+{@code Theme.Material.Light}.
+</p>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-network">Wi-Fi and Networking Changes</h2>
+
+<p>This preview introduces the following behavior changes to the Wi-Fi and networking APIs.</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Your apps can now change the state of {@link android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration} objects only
+if you created these objects. You are not permitted to modify or delete
+{@link android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration} objects created by the user or by other apps.
+</li>
+<li>
+Previously, if an app forced the device to connect to a specific Wi-Fi network by using
+{@link android.net.wifi.WifiManager#enableNetwork(int,boolean) enableNetwork()} with the
+{@code disableAllOthers=true} setting, the device disconnected from other networks such as
+cellular data. In this preview, the device no longer disconnects from such other networks. If
+your app’s {@code targetSdkVersion} is {@code “20”} or lower, it is pinned to the selected
+Wi-Fi network. If your app’s {@code targetSdkVersion} is {@code “21”} or higher, use the
+multinetwork APIs (such as
+{@link android.net.Network#openConnection(java.net.URL) openConnection()},
+{@link android.net.Network#bindSocket(java.net.Socket) bindSocket()}, and the new
+{@code ConnectivityManager.bindProcessToNetwork()} method) to ensure that its network traffic is
+sent on the selected network.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-camera">Camera Service Changes</h2>
+<p>In this preview, the model for accessing shared resources in the camera service has been changed
+from the previous “first come, first serve” access model to an access model where high-priority
+processes are favored. Changes to the service behavior include:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Access to camera subsystem resources, including opening and configuring a camera device, is
+awarded based on the “priority” of the client application process. Application processes with
+user-visible or foreground activities are generally given a higher-priority, making camera resource
+acquisition and use more dependable.</li>
+<li>Active camera clients for lower priority apps may be “evicted” when a higher priority
+application attempts to use the camera. In the deprecated {@link android.hardware.Camera} API,
+this results in
+{@link android.hardware.Camera.ErrorCallback#onError(int,android.hardware.Camera) onError()} being
+called for the evicted client. In the {@link android.hardware.camera2 Camera2} API, it results in
+{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice.StateCallback#onDisconnected(android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice) onDisconnected()}
+being called for the evicted client.</li>
+<li>On devices with appropriate camera hardware, separate application processes are able to
+independently open and use separate camera devices simultaneously. However, multi-process use
+cases, where simultaneous access causes significant degradation of performance or capabilities of
+any of the open camera devices, are now detected and disallowed by the camera service. This change
+may result in “evictions” for lower priority clients even when no other app is directly
+attempting to access the same camera device.
+</li>
+<li>
+Changing the current user causes active camera clients in apps owned by the previous user account
+to be evicted. Access to the camera is limited to user profiles owned by the current device user.
+In practice, this means that a “Guest” account, for example, will not be able to leave running
+processes that use the camera subsystem when the user has switched to a different account.
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-art-runtime">ART Runtime</h2>
+<p>The ART runtime now properly implements access rules for the
+{@link java.lang.reflect.Constructor#newInstance(java.lang.Object...) newInstance()} method. This
+change fixes a problem where Dalvik was checking access rules incorrectly in previous versions.
+If your app uses the
+{@link java.lang.reflect.Constructor#newInstance(java.lang.Object...) newInstance()} method and you
+want to override access checks, call the
+{@link java.lang.reflect.Constructor#setAccessible(boolean) setAccessible()} method with the input
+parameter set to {@code true}. If your app uses the
+<a href="{@docRoot}tools/support-library/features.html#v7-appcompat">v7 appcompat library</a> or the
+<a href="{@docRoot}tools/support-library/features.html#v7-recyclerview">v7 recyclerview library</a>,
+you must update your app to use to the latest versions of these libraries. Otherwise, make sure that
+any custom classes referenced from XML are updated so that their class constructors are accessible.</p>
+
+<p>This preview updates the behavior of the dynamic linker. The dynamic linker now understands the
+difference between a library’s {@code soname} and its path
+(<a href="https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6670" class="external-link">
+public bug 6670</a>), and search by {@code soname} is now
+implemented. Apps which previously worked that have bad {@code DT_NEEDED} entries
+(usually absolute paths on the build machine’s file system) may fail when loaded.</p>
+
+<p>The {@code dlopen(3) RTLD_LOCAL} flag is now correctly implemented. Note that
+{@code RTLD_LOCAL} is the default, so calls to {@code dlopen(3)} that didn’t explicitly use
+{@code RTLD_LOCAL} will be affected (unless your app explicitly used {@code RTLD_GLOBAL}). With
+{@code RTLD_LOCAL}, symbols will not be made available to libraries loaded by later calls to
+{@code dlopen(3)} (as opposed to being referenced by {@code DT_NEEDED} entries).</p>
+</p>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-apk-validation">APK Validation</h2>
+<p>The platform now performs stricter validation of APKs. An APK is considered corrupt if a file is
+declared in the manifest but not present in the APK itself. An APK must be re-signed if any of the
+contents are removed.</p>
+
+<h2 id="behavior-afw">Android for Work Changes</h2>
+<p>This preview includes the following behavior changes for Android for Work:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Work contacts in personal contexts.</strong> The Google Dialer
+Call Log now displays work contacts when the user views past calls. Both
+work and personal contacts are now available to devices over Bluetooth, but you can hide work
+profile contacts through a device policy by calling the new
+{@code DevicePolicyManager.setBluetoothContactSharingDisabled()} method. Initiating a call still
+shows personal contacts, as consistent with the experience in Android 5.0.
+</li>
+<li><strong>WiFi configuration removal:</strong> WiFi configurations added by a Profile Owner
+(for example, through calls to the
+{@link android.net.wifi.WifiManager#addNetwork(android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration)
+addNetwork()} method) are now removed if that work profile is deleted.</li>
+<li><strong>WiFi configuration lockdown:</strong> Any WiFi configuration created by an active Device
+Owner can no longer be modified or deleted by the user. The user can still create and
+modify their own WiFi configurations, so long as the {@link android.os.UserManager} constant
+{@link android.os.UserManager#DISALLOW_CONFIG_WIFI} has not been set for that user.</li>
+<li><strong>Download Work Policy Controller via Google account addition:</strong> When a Google
+account that requires management via a Work Policy Controller (WPC) app is added to a device
+outside of a managed context, the add account flow now prompts the user to install the
+appropriate WPC. This behavior also applies to accounts added via
+<strong>Settings > Accounts</strong> in the initial device setup wizard.</li>
+<li><strong>Changes to specific DevicePolicyManager API behaviors:</strong>
+Calling the {@link android.app.admin.DevicePolicyManager#setCameraDisabled(android.content.ComponentName,boolean) setCameraDisabled()}
+method affects the camera for the calling user only; calling it from the managed profile doesn’t
+affect camera apps running on the primary user. In addition, the
+{@link android.app.admin.DevicePolicyManager#setKeyguardDisabledFeatures(android.content.ComponentName,int) setKeyguardDisabledFeatures()}
+method is now available for Profile Owners, in addition to Device Owners. A Profile Owner can set
+these keyguard restrictions:
+<ul>
+<li>{@link android.app.admin.DevicePolicyManager#KEYGUARD_DISABLE_TRUST_AGENTS} and
+ {@link android.app.admin.DevicePolicyManager#KEYGUARD_DISABLE_FINGERPRINT}, which affect the
+ keyguard settings for the profile’s parent user.</li>
+<li>{@link android.app.admin.DevicePolicyManager#KEYGUARD_DISABLE_UNREDACTED_NOTIFICATIONS}, which
+ only affects notifications generated by applications in the managed profile.</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
