@mttmcknn Love this. Truly great work! 🌊

@JCMAppStudio That's great! Using Window Size Classes is definitely the best start for an adaptive UI, but a true desktop experience is more than just UI: think how you can empower your users to do more by following the desktop app quality guidelines: https://t.co/AuFnBUT85c

[Android Developers @AndroidDev]

Googlebooks are here, and you can scale your app to reach users across the expanding ecosystem. 💻

By building on your existing foundation of adaptive UI, window size classes, and multi-input support, you can deliver an optimized experience → https://t.co/6v9oXP4k78

@satvikpathak007 Nothing is more permanent than a temporary workaround.

Load-bearing code vs drywall code 🤔👷‍♀️

Fast experimentation uses what we call drywall code while load bearing code is part of the system. What do you think of this concept?

From self-healing build loops to production-ready Jetpack Compose & shaders, Gemini 4 Argon is available to help Android developers with complex development challenges.

Android developers with a paid Google AI Pro subscription can log into Antigravity within Android Studio to start using the new model.

[Google Antigravity @antigravity]

We’re rolling out Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity to paid Google AI Pro subscribers today. Demand has been incredible and we've scaled capacity deliberately to get here. We’ve rolled out a separate weekly-only Argon quota for Pro on top of the existing Gemini bucket for 3.8 Flash so you have the best of Gemini for all your tasks.

@akshay81844 @androidenginers The community is going to have a lot of fun building with this!

[Android Developers @AndroidDev]

@evowizz Love seeing the community push what Android CLI can do.

[Matthew J. McCullough @matthewmccull]

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.

[Rebecca Franks @riggaroo]

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!
