1/4 #Android's toolkit for building productivity and creativity apps is ever expanding. We recently launched in Cahier, our inking sample, a very cool tool that allows designers and developers to build custom brushes without having to fiddle with code, graphics, or geometry.

Your Android app no longer needs to ship its own ML runtime. 📦

LiteRT in Google Play services got a massive upgrade: CompiledModel API & ML Drift GPU acceleration → https://t.co/6hLGIMLKGA

That means:
🔹 ~8 MB smaller APK size
🔹 ~1.4x faster GPU inference
🔹 Auto runtime updates

1 day to go 🔥

This Saturday, 14 November, we take over Sarit Expo Centre for #DevFestNairobi 2026. Charge your laptop, sort your outfit, and set that alarm early.

See you there 👋🏾

Engineering in Sub-Saharan Africa rhymes with resilience.

To power KYC across Africa, #SmileID used #CameraX to scale across 18K+ Android device types & 160M+ checks.

First in our series on teams shaping SSA’s @AndroidDev ecosystem!

Plot twist: in Compose, a configuration change is just another recomposition. 🤯

So UI decisions should be driven by active capabilities like window size & posture, not static categories.

Huge shout-out to @gatere_mark for leading an incredible hands-on workshop in the Beyond Stacks track: 𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘹 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘋𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳: 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯, 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥, 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘔𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘴!

We went way beyond generating boilerplate to explore full-cycle engineering workflows: using Figma imports, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, custom project rules, and automated test verification—all while keeping the developer firmly in the driver’s seat of architecture and code quality.

We moved way past generic chat demos straight into the real pipeline: agent-ready build tooling, Android skills & CLI that keep models aligned with Google’s architecture guidelines, and on-device intelligence powered by Gemini Nano.

Whether you write Kotlin, Dart, or cross-platform code, the developer workflow is officially shifting 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀! 🚀

Introducing the Android Device Hub, a streamlined app to view and interact with all your local and remote devices and emulators, without needing to open an IDE.

We launched an early version of it last week at the @AndroidDev Summit, and would love your feedback on shaping its future, as we add familiar features from Android Studio, and also explore some new ones.

Try it out with `android device hub` via Android CLI!
