Android Developers✓

Use your preferred coding agent directly in @AndroidStudio. You can now choose from over 40 coding agents inside the IDE, giving your agents project context and access to Android Studio tools 🧵👇

💚 It's good to be back. The energy at #AndroidDevSummit was unmatched. Check out this roundup of some of our favorite posts.👇🏽

It's only lunchtime, but I've already learned so much about some very interesting (and relevant) topics The new A2UI lib for generative UI from agent payloads was demoed Followed by performance improvements tips for handling media #AndroidDevSummit

Wasn’t expecting to see this during the Android Dev Summit keynote today. Thanks @matthewmccull!

Turn agent replies into native app UI with Agent-to-UI (A2UI) for Jetpack Compose, now in alpha! A2UI lets agents respond with a real interactive UI built from your app's own components instead of a wall of text. #AndroidDevSummit

RT @ssamat: I’ve always believed that the endgame of spatial computing is something close to the holodeck on Star Trek – computing that feels limitless, immersive, and completely natural. When we started building Android XR, we knew the early chapters of that story would require bulky headsets. That was the price of admission for the technology at the time. Today, you can see the transition to the next generation happening in real time. XREAL just officially launched XREAL AURA, the first wired XR glasses running Android XR. Because they’re dramatically lighter and more balanced than traditional headsets, they cross a critical barrier: you can comfortably keep them on for hours whether watching a movie or getting work done on multiple screens. I’ve been using a pair recently, and it changes how you think about screens: 🟢 For productivity: I can pull up multiple virtual windows in a public space without anyone seeing my work. It completely changes working on the go. 🟢 For entertainment & daily apps: Because it runs Android, all of your favorite Google Play apps are natively there alongside immersive XR content. 🟢 For everyday life: With Gemini integrated, the glasses understand what you're looking at and can give you hands-free, contextual help as you walk around. We wanted Android XR to be more than a cool tech demo – we wanted it to fit effortlessly into daily life. Today feels like a huge step in that direction. Proud of the Google and XREAL teams who pulled this off! Learn more about XREAL AURA here:

RT @matthewmccull: I’ve just stepped off the stage at Android Developer Summit and am excited to share the updates my team and I gave there. We covered transforming how you build apps with agentic AI & tools that help you build for multiple devices. Here’s the bits in a quick thread:

Bring your app to Search and Gemini 👀 The new Connected Apps Platform (preview) is built on the open MCP standard, so you keep your brand and business logic, and users stay in control of key actions. Start building today → #AndroidDevSummit

RT @MishaalRahman: ✨ This is huge 👀: We're launching Android MCP, powered by the AppFunctions API! This lets your app integrate with @GeminiApp on Android so your users can ask questions that pull info from your app or take actions in it. To support this, we're also launching a preview of the Connected Apps Platform. This is the announcement I'm most excited about from #AndroidDevSummit!

@AndroidStudio Setup takes seconds and you can switch between agents. Open Settings > Tools > AI > Agents, browse the marketplace, and install your coding agents. It's the best of both worlds: your preferred agents AND Android Studio's tools (Emulator, Compose Preview rendering, and more).

@AndroidStudio Your 5-minute challenge. 🧪 Update to Android Studio Rabbit 2. Settings > AI > Agents → install your agent Then use this prompt: "Build an Android 3D app that features popular attractions in [city name] using Material 3 design" Show us what you make!👇 #AndroidDevSummit

The Android ecosystem is expanding, and XR devices are here and shipping. Now is the perfect time to get your apps ready. Here are three ways to jump in today. 🧵⬇️ #AndroidDevSummit.

🛠️ Core Jetpack XR SDK libraries and Android XR emulators are officially STABLE. See your app on XR glasses, no hardware needed: Android Studio → Device Manager → add an XR Glasses emulator → run your app. Screenshot it and tag us! 👓

⚡ The Android XR Engine Hub graduates to 1.0, with easy access to start and analyze performance traces across Unity, Godot, and Unreal. Streamline your engine workflows using the Android XR Engine Hub. 🔥

Too busy shipping to catch #AndroidDevSummit? Whether you want to use Claude Agent or Codex in Android Studio, render native Jetpack Compose UI from agent replies, or scale instantly to the new Googlebook, we got you covered →

You can now watch the #AndroidDevSummit keynote! Learn what the future of Android development looks like for you and your agent →
