Gemma 4 is an exciting one for Android Developers:
- 4x faster using up to 60% less battery than previous models
- More capable at reasoning for chain-of-thought commands and conditional statements
- Improved math skills
- and so much more

Excited to launch Gemma 4: the best open models in the world for their respective sizes. Available in 4 sizes that can be fine-tuned for your specific task: 31B dense for great raw performance, 26B MoE for low latency, and effective 2B & 4B for edge device use - happy building!

@PreusslerBerlin any slides you can share from this talk? 😄

@nonewsss the exoplayer team has been working on improving playback of short videos :)

The Accessibility team at Twitter was one of the best teams I've ever worked with. Just last month @gerardkcohen and @RichardEKnowles were kind enough to speak at a Google-hosted event. They inspired the whole Android community to build more accessible apps.

So, the Accessibility Experience Team at Twitter is no longer. We had so much more to do, but we worked hard! There aren't very many people that have had the opportunity to make such an important global platform like Twitter accessible, but we understood the mission.

@ataulm @Lojanda 👏

[Caren Chang @calren24]

@ataulm yeah, i don't think that requested info will be particularly useful in this case. i'll send the bug to the talkback team

[Caren Chang @calren24]

@zarahjutz good point about this not being documented in the official docs, we'll work on fixing that 🙂

[Caren Chang @calren24]

@katexcellence I think the Fond app is a great indication that you are definitely cut out for this industry :)

One time I opened an OA, looked through the questions, and immediately gave up because I was pretty sure I couldn't finish even one question in time. 😭

💪 Multi-process support just leveled up in WorkManager 2.6!

Learn how we're adding support for Workers to run in any process and allow workers to be bound to a particular process → https://t.co/NBI4vV2PDC

Managing work between processes just got easier 😎

@marianeum We're working on some new material, but would love to hear if there's anything in particular that you would've liked to see

[Caren Chang @calren24]

almost had a heart attack. would've been willing to shell out good money for unlimited copy and pastes from stackoverflow

We’re inagurating a new YouTube series: #AndroidCodeAlong!

Do you want to code along with @calren24 and me? We’ll be programming some coroutines code together next week 😍

And it’ll be live! So RSVP, and prepare your questions. See you next week 👋

i didn't know you could record gifs directly from the android emulator... i've been spending like 5 minutes each time recording videos through android studio and converting it to gifs on some random website.....

[Caren Chang @calren24]

Back at Cal today to tell incoming freshmen how awesome computer science can be! Which, honestly, I would've never thought I'd be doing considering I got 5/100 on my first CS test.

[Chet Haase @chethaase]

I started this series to help collect recent items that I thought Android developers would want to know about.
Looking forward to future episodes.
