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.

Young Africans are changing how activism works.

In this episode of Voices Africa, we look at how digital tools are being used to mobilise, organise, and push for accountability. Featuring Farida Bemba Nabourema (@Farida_N), the discussion examines both the opportunities and risks of digital activism, including surveillance and misinformation.

From Kenya’s Finance Bill protests to Senegal’s Y’en a Marre, what is the link between social media and real-world action?

I'm hearing some discourse that modifiers in Compose are dead 😂 They are not!
Styles are built on top of modifiers, modifiers are *still* the recommended way for behaviours, additive properties etc. Styles are just an easier, performant and theme-able way to do styling.

It's easy to build generative AI features with ML Kit's Prompt API. Send natural language requests, including image inputs, directly to Gemini Nano.

@Photoshop on Android uses these capabilities to streamline creative workflows, and you can, too. Get started with the Prompt API → https://t.co/JCL9iYyDmX

Differentiate your app and elevate your user experience with on-device AI. 🚀

Deploy efficiently. For the majority of use cases, ML Kit GenAI APIs offer a direct path to production. For more customized use cases, use LiteRT-LM → https://t.co/GfT2im3OZi

We just launched the ability to build native Android apps directly in Google AI Studio for free!

Since launch last week, people have created more than 250,000 Android apps. Likely >99% of these folks never built an Android app before, everyone can now build, no coding required!

[Android Developers @AndroidDev]

The TL;DR is... we're committed to embedding intelligence throughout the entire Android ecosystem. 😎

If you’re looking to build intelligent apps, watch our #GoogleIO session — now available on-demand on YouTube → https://t.co/YiirMc9qJr
