Android 6.0 includes new features such as runtime permissions, Doze mode for improved battery life, and a design support library. It focuses on privacy, security, and performance improvements. Developers have new tools and libraries to create Material Design apps that work across different form factors.

1. What’s new in Android 6.0

2. Runtime Permissions

3. Privacy & Security
• Runtime Permission
• Advanced permission controls for all apps

4. Doze Mode

5. Doze Mode Restriction
• Network access is suspended
• The system ignores wake locks
• The system doesn’t perform Wi-Fi scans
• The system doesn’t allow sync adapter to run

• Standart AlarmManager alarms are deferred to the next maintaince
window
• If you need to set alarms that fire while in Doze, use setAndAllowWhileIdle() or
setExactAndAllowWhileIdle().
• Alarms set with setAlarmClock() continue to fire normally — the system exits Doze
shortly before those alarms fire.
