At the heart of the innovation is the so-called MessageQueue. It is a central component of Android and controls how apps display their user interface (UI). Processes are lined up in the queue and processed one after the other. Until now, individual software processes could temporarily block the queue. In the current logic, a new process can only start after the previous one has finished. However, this delay can sometimes lead to so-called “dropped frames.”Even super-expensive Android smartphones can sometimes experience glitches. The reason is a limitation in the operating system itself, dating back to its early days. With Android 17, Google is finally addressing this issue by implementing a technical change aimed at ensuring smooth operation.Google is well aware of this problem, and with Android 17, the solution is finally here. On the Android Developers Blog, the company announced a new implementation of MessageQueue that is “lock-free”—meaning it comes without a locking mechanism: DeliQueue. Do you think that DeliQueue will be practical on android phones ?
