KitKat may be rolling out fast in most of the Android devices in the market but the next version of the OS, Android L, may arrive soon and enter the scene. Google has yet to release the new platform but we’ve been hearing reports that the Nexus 5 and Nexus, as well as, the old Nexus 4 are getting the build.
Anticipation is already building up but rumor has it a follow up version is also being developed. Thanks to a comment on an Android Source Code page that has reference to a certain “M” feature. No name has been given yet but we can call it Android “M” for now. Looks like Google isn’t changing its naming preference yet and almost halfway through the alphabet.
The Android M is believed to be in its experimental state but one feature has been identified: an Android debugging tool called Logcat. This one is joined by a new method of data exchange. Not much information has been given but at least we know Android is determined to finish the ABC. For those of you who don’t know, the Android team uses the letters of the alphabet to name each version: Cupcake, Donut, Éclair, Froyo, Gindgerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jellybean, and KitKat. All desserts so we’re guessing the “L” and “M” could be Lemon Square or Mousse. Others are saying the “L” stands for Lemon Pie Meringue. (Go ahead and send in your suggestions.) We’ll see what Google will serve us next.

Lemon Bar!
Nope, they stopped and were going to wait until a few weeks before our next typical release time and see what they could crank out….
Licorice
i tend to think that M comes from Milestone
Wait, did this article claim that ‘Logcat’ is an experimental debugging tool? We’ve had logcat since the beginning…
I’m sorry but this article is really silly. Obviously R Padla had zero android development experience. Logcat is NOT experimental. Anyone that’s installed the SDK and spent more than 10 minus tagging the get started guide on android would recognize this.
Lollipop and Mooncake :3
mango
I seriously doubt L will be anything with the word “lemon” in it, since that has negative connotations. Sweet, not sour… My guess is lollipop or licorice.
my guess is lolipol & it will be right
I hope Android M will be called M&Ms. Delicious
Its lemon meringue pie! heres the proof =)) this ws taken frm moto x That big pie with a lemon?!?!
