### Android 0.9, Beta—hey, this looks familiar! ###
|
||||
|
||||
Six months after Milestone 5, in August 2008, [Android 0.9 was released][1]. While the Android 0.5 milestone builds were "early looks," by now 1.0 was only two months away. Thus, Android 0.9 was labeled "beta." On the other side of the aisle, Apple already released its second version of the iPhone—the iPhone 3G—a month prior. The second-gen iPhone brought a second-gen iPhone OS. Apple also launched the App Store and was already taking app submissions. Google had a lot of catching up to do.
|
||||
|
||||
Google threw out a lot of the UI introduced in Milestone 5. All the artwork was redone again in full-color, and the white square icon backgrounds were tossed. While still an emulator build, 0.9 offered something that looked familiar when compared to a released version of Android. Android 0.9 had a working desktop-style home screen, a proper app drawer, multiple home screens, a lot more apps, and fully functional (first-party only) widgets.
|
||||
|
||||
Milestone 5 seemingly had no plan for someone installing more than 21 apps, but Android 0.9 had a vertically scrolling app drawer accessible via a gray tab at the bottom of the screen. Back then, the app drawer was actually a drawer. Besides acting as a button, the gray tab could be pulled up the screen and would follow your finger, just like how the notification panel can be pulled down. There were additional apps like Alarm Clock, Calculator, Music, Pictures, Messaging, and Camera.
|
||||
|
||||
This was the first build with a fully customizable home screen. Long pressing on an app or widget allowed you to drag it around. You could drag an app out of the app drawer and make a home screen shortcut or long press on an existing home screen shortcut to move it.
|
||||
|
||||
0.9 is a reminder that Google was not the design powerhouse it is today. In fact, some of the design work for Android was farmed out to other companies at the time. You can see one sign of this in the clock widget, which contains the text “MALMO," the home town of design firm [The Astonishing Tribe][2].

||||
There were only three widgets: Clock, Picture frame, and Search. The Search widget didn't even have a proper icon in the list—it used the Picture icon. Perhaps the most interesting item here was a "Purchased pictures" option in the wallpaper choices—a leftover from the days when purchasing ringtones on a dumbphone was a common occurrence. Google was either planning on selling wallpapers, or it was already adding a carrier at some point. The company never went through with the plan.

The left screen, above, shows the widgets for Google Search and pictures. Search didn't do anything other than give you a box to type in—there was no auto complete or additional UI. Typing in the box and hitting "Go" would launch the browser. The bottom row of icons revealed a few options for "shortcuts" from the long press menu, which created icons that opened an app to a certain screen. Individual contacts, browser bookmarks, and music playlists were all shortcuts that could all be added to the home screen in 0.9.
|
||||
|
||||
"Folders" was an option under the shortcuts heading despite not being a shortcut to anything. Once a blank folder was created, icons could be dragged into it and rearranged. Unlike today, there was no indication of what was in a folder; it was always a plain, white, empty-looking icon.
|
||||
|
||||
0.9 was also the first Android version to have OS-level copy/paste support. Long pressing on any text box would bring up a dialog allowing you to save or recall text from the clipboard. iOS didn't support copy/paste until almost two years later, so for a while, this was one of Android's big differentiators—and the source of many Internet arguments.

Android 0.9 was really starting to show its maturity. The home screen had a full set of menu items, including a settings option (although it didn't work yet) and a search button (because Google likes it when you search). The menu design was already in the final form that would last until Android 2.3 swapped it to black.
|
||||
|
||||
Long pressing on the hardware home button brought up a 3x2 grid of recent apps, a design that would stick around until the release of Android 3.0. Recent Apps blurred the exposed background, but that was strangely applied here and not on other popups like the "Add to home" dialog or the home screen folder view. The power menu was at least included in the blurry background club, and it was redesigned with icons and more commonly accepted names for functions. The power menu icons lacked padding, though, appearing cramped and awkward.
|
||||
|
||||
Android 0.9 featured a lock screen, albeit a very basic one. The black and gray lock screen had no on-screen method of unlocking—you needed to hit the hardware menu button.

安卓编年史

### Android 0.9, Beta——嘿，这看起来很眼熟！ ###
|
||||
|
||||
Milestone 5发布后六个月，2008年8月， [安卓0.9发布][1]。尽管安卓0.5 milestone版看起来“很早期”，到现在距离1.0发布也只有两个月时间了。因此，安卓0.9被打上了“beta”的标签。在移动操作系统之路的另一边，苹果在一个月前已经发布了iPhone的第二代产品——iPhone 3G。第二代的iPhone搭载了第二代iPhone OS。苹果同样发布了App Store应用商店并且已经开始接受应用提交。谷歌在追赶的道路上还有很多事情要做。
|
||||
|
||||
谷歌抛弃了很多在Milestone 5中引入的UI设计。所有设计都回炉重造进入全彩，白色方形图标背景被抛弃。尽管0.9还是一个模拟器版本，相比与安卓发布版来说看起来还是有点熟悉。安卓0.9有一个可用的桌面式主屏幕，一个特有的应用抽屉，多主屏，更多的应用程序，以及全功能（暂仅限第一方）小部件。
|
||||
|
||||
Milestone 5中似乎没有计划支持安装21个以上的应用，但在安卓0.9中有一个垂直滚动的应用抽屉，可以通过屏幕底部的灰色标签打开。那时候，应用抽屉真的只是个抽屉。除了作为一个按钮使用，灰色标签还可以跟随你的手指被向上拉起，就像通知面板被拉下来那样。还额外添加了一些应用，像闹钟，计算器，图片，信息，以及照相机。
|
||||
|
||||
这是第一个可以完全自定义主屏幕的版本。长按应用或小部件可以拖动它们。你可以把应用从抽屉中拖出到主屏幕快捷方式或长按一个已经存在的主屏幕快捷方式来移动它。
|
||||
|
||||
安卓0.9提醒我们谷歌那时候并不像今天这样优于设计。实际上，当时安卓的部分设计工作外包给了其它公司。你可以从时钟小插件看出一点端倪，它包含了“MALMO”字样，它是设计公司[The Astonishing Tribe][2]的所在地。
|
||||

||||

安卓0.9的“添加到主屏幕”对话框。

|
||||
|
||||
安卓0.9中只有三个小部件：时钟，相框和搜索。搜索小部件在列表中甚至没有一个自己的图标——它用的是图片的图标。也许这里面最有趣的选项是壁纸选项中的“购买的图片”——一个“在非智能机时购买铃声是个普遍的现象”的遗留产物。谷歌要么准备出售壁纸，要么在某时已经加入了一个运营商。这家公司最终从未实现这个计划。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
小部件集合，打开的文件夹，重命名文件夹，以及一个复制/粘贴菜单。
|
||||
Ron Amadeo供图
|
||||
|
||||
在上面左侧的截图展示了谷歌搜索和图片小部件。除了给你一个框进行输入之外搜索小部件做不了其它事情——它没有自动补全或是附加的UI界面。在框里输入并点击“Go”会启动浏览器。底部的一排图标显示了一些菜单中长按得到的“快捷方式”，它创建了图标并将应用启动到特定屏幕。独立的联系人，浏览器书签，以及音乐播放列表都是0.9中可以被添加到主屏幕上的快捷方式。
|
||||
|
||||
“文件夹”是快捷方式标题下的一个选项，尽管它并不是任何东西的快捷方式。一旦创建了一个空文件夹，图标就可以被移动进去并重新排列。不像今天，那时候的文件夹里有什么并不反映在文件夹图标上，它一直是一个简单的，白色的，看起来空空的文件夹图标。
|
||||
|
||||
0.9同样是第一个拥有系统级别复制/粘贴支持的安卓版本。长按任意文本框会唤出一个对话框，从而让你保存或撤销剪贴板中的文本。iOS直到近两年后才支持复制/粘贴，所以在一段时间内，这是安卓的特色之一——以及许多网络争议的源头。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
从左到右：安卓0.9的新菜单，最近使用应用，电源选项，以及锁屏。
|
||||
Ron Amadeo供图
|
||||
|
||||
安卓0.9真正地开始显示出了它的成熟。主屏幕有完整的菜单选项，包括设置（尽管它还不能正常运作）以及搜索按钮（因为当你搜索的时候谷歌喜欢）。从那时起菜单的设计便已经最终成型，直到安卓2.3它转变成了黑色。
|
||||
|
||||
长按实体Home键会唤出一个3x2方格的最近使用应用菜单，这是一个一直持续到安卓3.0的设计。最近使用应用菜单会将背景显示模糊化，但这个设计用在这里显得有些奇怪，在其它弹窗比如“添加到主屏幕”对话框或是主屏幕文件夹视图之中并没有用到该设计。电源菜单至少包含在了背景模糊设计组之中，它的图标经过了重新设计，并且功能的对应名称更改得更容易让人接受。不过电源菜单图标缺乏填充，显得有些拥挤和不雅观。
|
||||
|
||||
安卓0.9以其锁屏为特色，虽然是非常基础的样子。黑色和灰色的锁屏没有任何屏幕解锁的选项——你需要点击实体菜单键。
