The device streaming capability is going to be a hit as it empowers agentic workflows to test across a more diverse set of device form factors. I'm anticipating a step change in the app features targeting Android devices beyond handsets.
🚀 Lots of handy Android CLI updates this week!
Device Streaming is now in CLI - agents can now spin up remote devices 📱
Fresh new batch of Android skills for Security, Identity, Media3, TV, and more 😌

We've just released a new official Android skill that can be used to statically analyse your #JetpackCompose code for performance improvements. ⚡️
Install it, and ask your agent to run the skill on your code. 🧑💻
We've seen some good results running it internally - give it a try and let us know any feedback!

Watch how Antigravity takes an Android app from prompt to real device. Using the Stitch MCP and the Android CLI plugin, the agent pulls your designs, builds the native Jetpack Compose components, verifies them in the emulator, and runs the final build on a real phone.

If you looking to advance your AI usage with Android: My #1 tip is to install the Android CLI.
It's a bunch of easy to use tools from the command line, that you agents can interact with.
The latest feature added to the CLI is Device Streaming - allowing your agents to connect to remote Android devices.

Try it on Termux:
curl -fsSL antigravity.google/cli/insta… | bash
Then run agy.

Because Googlebook is built on the Android tech stack, it's a total game-changer for Android users. Your phone and laptop work together natively at the system level:
・When you set up and sign in, what you need from your phone is already there – from passwords, contacts, messages and more.
・Continue On lets you pick up tasks from your phone instantly from the Googlebook’s taskbar.
・A dedicated Files app lets you access photos and files on your phone directly from the laptop.

We've heard you want better blur support in Compose!
The latest #JetpackCompose alpha introduces Progressive Blur for layers - allowing you to apply a non-uniform blur to your content (not backdrop just yet 😉) ! You can apply vertical, horizontal, radial gradients or even a custom blur intensity mask driven by a shader. 🪄
Available for API 33+

These days you don't have to write boilerplate code, so you can concentrate on the interesting bits! Had fun making this short demo with @AndroidDev
Spend your time on innovation and not the boring bits. Let Gemini in @AndroidStudio handle the heavy lifting → goo.gle/3rlcmGe

📄 Ingests custom API documentation
🛠️ Generates thin Retrofit data sources
📐 Adheres strictly to project interfaces

Whenever a new Jetpack Compose release drops, I see the occasional misconception that "version 1.11" means its a young framework that’s not quite ready for primetime. That number can be a little misleading if you take it at face value. 🧐
Android Developers retweeted
Imagine skipping straight to testing your custom Jetpack Compose UI instead of configuring API integrations. 🎯
Gemini in Android Studio takes care of the boilerplate code.
