Runtime

The Android ART (short for Android runtime) runtime was also updated in Android Marshmallow, and the following are the updates:

• The newInstance() method: The Dalvik (another runtime) issue for the checking of access rules incorrectly was fixed. If you wish to override access checks, call the setAccessible() method with the input parameter set to true.

• Using the v7 Appcompat library or the v7 Recyclerview library? You must update to the latest version.

• Make sure that any custom classes referenced from XML are updated so that their class constructors are accessible.

• Behavior of the dynamic linker is updated.

• The ART runtime understands the difference between a library's soname and its path; search by soname is now implemented. There was an open bug with this issue that was fixed; if you wish to extend your reading, visit here:
