What makes Google Pixel phones work better with Nova Launcher

Previously, outsider launcher applications regularly gave a better encounter than the stock launcher found on most Android telephones. With the patch up of the new applications screen and the presentation of motions in Android 9 Pie, however, outsider launchers were put in a tough spot as these new encounters were coordinated into the stock launcher application. Over the long run, Google hosts attempted to make the third-get-together launcher experience not so horrible when utilizing signals, and they've really begun to prevail at this as of late. 


In the event that you've utilized a new Nova Launcher beta delivery on a Google Pixel telephone over the most recent couple of months, you may have seen the liquid livelinesss when utilizing signal route. Lamentably, you will not see these equivalent movements when utilizing Nova Launcher on some other gadget, in any event for the time being. To comprehend why we first need to momentarily clarify which isolates outsider launchers like Nova Launcher from stock launchers like Google's Pixel Launcher. 


Google initially presented motion route in Android 9 Pie. To cause motions to feel as liquid as could be expected, Google expected to make application changes look consistent. They likewise needed to allow clients to get to their whole application list from the new applications screen. To do both of these, Google chose to move the code that handles the new applications screen from Android's SystemUI to Launcher3, Android's open-source launcher application that most OEM stock launchers are forked from. Subsequently, the QuickStep segment was conceived, and as a result of its favored nature, Android just permits the preinstalled launcher application to be set as the new applications supplier. This can be abrogated with root access if the outsider launcher upholds it, however for most clients, this implies that an outsider launcher application will consistently depend on the stock launcher to deal with signals and the new applications screen. The outcome, as the greater part of you have presumably experienced, can be a piece janky, with changes that don't look liquid and consistent. Except if you utilize a Google Pixel telephone, that is. 


On most Google Pixel telephones, there exists an API that outsider launchers can use to make the change from an application back to the home screen look significantly more local. Some outsider launcher applications like Niagara Launcher and the previously mentioned Nova Launcher are exploiting this API, however the last just remembers it for its being developed v7 assembles. At the point when this API is utilized, the outsider launcher application gets a goal and a callback from QuickStep at whatever point the client plays out a swipe to return home motion. The outsider launcher would then be able to indicate to the signal framework how to invigorate the window as it limits onto an application symbol.
