Android Developers

❌ Generic code suggestions. ✅ Android coding expertise. LLMs should be able to handle the everyday code you write, so we built a benchmark based on common development tasks. Learn about Android Bench and how we’re elevating AI assistance → goo.gle/4qZAeeC

Android Studio has entered the agentic era. Tell Android Studio's AI agent what you want to build, and watch it create under your direction. Your next app is just a prompt away. goo.gle/gemini-in-andr…

Why should game devs bring their apps to Android XR? 🕶️ With support for @Unity, @OpenXR, and native Android development, the possibilities are endless → goo.gle/4sjPzs6

Room 3.0 modernizes the library for Kotlin Multiplatform, adding JavaScript and WebAssembly support to Android and JVM desktop. It’s the same Room you love, built for the whole ecosystem → goo.gle/4sJZaZ5

@MishaalRahman The payoff of getting an app to scale perfectly from a phone to a freeform desktop window is massive.

There's something beautiful about apps that just seamlessly adapt across📱 and 💻. It's not easy to design them, but I'm really happy that there are developers out there trying! And with the new desktop experience in Android, more users will come to appreciate these efforts😁!

@rseroter Achieving up to a 78% reduction in page load times just by migrating native UI components to Jetpack Compose proves how much efficiency can be gained through modernizing your app architecture.

@nicolaou_nicos Nothing brightens up a morning quite like seeing a fresh batch of IDE stability fixes and Gradle improvements.

🛠️ Android Studio Panda 4 Canary 1 is out! Fixes include: • Gradle keepRules (libraries) • Gemini model refresh • Project View crashes & loading • R8/D8 Java 11 issues 👇 androidstudio.googleblog.com/2026/03/androi… #AndroidDev #AndroidStudio #Gradle #Android #Kotlin #MobileDev

Android AppFunctions 🤝 on-device MCP You can create self-describing functions using the AppFunctions Jetpack library to let assistants like Gemini execute tasks via natural language. Connect your app to AI agents with Android AppFunctions → goo.gle/3NnYBVN

@SushantHande1 The 'File → New Project' flow just got incredibly powerful.

Hey @AndroidDev, 🚀 Meet Expanzo 💸 — an expense tracker Android app built using the "Create with AI" feature in Android Studio Panda 2. Android Studio Panda 2: File→New→New Project→Create with AI GitHub Repo - github.com/Sushant-Hande/… #androidstudio #androidapp #gemini #ai

@Anote_j Did we just become friends?

@AndroidDev A good friend is like a four-leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.

Is your AI assistant actually helpful or just loud? 🔊 To develop Android Bench, we analyzed tens of thousands of pull requests to create a dataset that tests true Android engineering competency. No theories, just real code from the ecosystem → goo.gle/4u9DKWI

@thatsmanmeet Bridging the Expo ecosystem directly into the Compose pipeline is a massive architectural leap.

Jetpack Compose has reached beta in expo-ui. Finally, Android apps would look more native than ever before.

@zsmb13 Building in 100% Kotlin is the ultimate developer workflow.

We still hear from a lot of people who assume KMP is only for sharing logic. With Compose Multiplatform though, you can also have shared cross-platform UI, with 100% of your code in Kotlin! If you're looking to pick up CMP, join our KotlinConf workshop: kotlinconf.com/workshops/

📣 Sideloading is here to stay. Users will be able to install apps from unverified developers via a new advanced flow, which includes safeguards that stop scammers and maintain choice. Learn more about how Android developer verification is evolving → goo.gle/advance-flow

👨‍🍳 Master deep links with these Navigation 3 recipes → goo.gle/nav3-recipes This repository provides specific recipes for common navigation use cases, where each recipe introduces a single concept to keep implementations clean. Get cooking! 🍳

@CodeWithDavis @Android @AndroidStudio Of course! Let us know how the feature is working for you!

Thank Android studio for adding LLM in the Editor @AndroidDev @Android @AndroidStudio

@pixeluibygoogle Because the dataset and test harness are completely open-source, the entire community can actively collaborate on pushing those quality standards even higher!

Android Bench is a benchmark that tests large language models on real-world Android development tasks with safeguards, diverse challenges, and a transparent evaluation system to improve AI-assisted app quality. More details: developer.android.com/bench/methodol…

If your Android app is only optimized for phones, you’re missing the big picture. Literally. 🖼️ Our desktop experience guidance helps you optimize your app with desktop design principles, input interaction guidance, and system UI considerations → goo.gle/47z6DBY

@vakama94 Good point, clamshells are very popular and a great form factor. Since their aspect ratio is similar enough to phones around 20:9 we omitted them for practical reasons. We will consider them for our next animations or changes to our designs, thank you.

@AndroidDev I see in the gif stuff for a slab, book and passport foldables and tablets, there seems to be clamshells missing (interface that's taller rather than wider)

Your screen, your way x.com/jorgecastillop…

@Raytek__ This optimization will roll out to all Android phones running kernel version 6.12 or higher.

@AndroidDev Is this being rolled out to all Pixel phones automatically or in the next System update? Thank you 🙏🏽

40% of CPU time on Android happens in the kernel. 🧠 We thought it was time to optimize that → goo.gle/3NvpEhV By applying AutoFDO to the Android kernel, we can move beyond a reliance on static code hints and compiler heuristics. The result is a snappier interface and 2.1% faster boot times.

The first alpha of Room 3.0 is here! Room 3.0 includes big API changes: ✅ Kotlin-only code gen ✅ KSP-only (Goodbye, KAPT!) ✅ Coroutines-first APIs ✅ JS & WASM support Get ready to migrate → goo.gle/4sJZaZ5
