<\/i><\/p>\n
This year at Google I\/O, we’re going beyond iterative changes to fundamentally changing the way apps are built. Our latest tools are built for the agentic era with features that increase productivity for you as an Android developer and supercharge the AI \u200b\u200bagents you deploy in your codebase. So, whether you’re building exclusively with AI or you prefer to be the architect of every line of code, our tools will keep you at the forefront.<\/p>\n
As we move from \u201cAI-assisted\u201d to \u201cagentic\u201d development, we\u2019re making it easier than ever to turn the spark of an idea into a high-quality production app with significantly less developer effort.<\/p>\n
So what’s new in Android Developer Tools? We will cover 3 main areas in this blog:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
Let your agent handle it:<\/b> Whatever development task you’re working on, Android Studio Agent can help: from planning app architecture and design, to writing code, to unit testing and bug fixing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Any AI provider, no matter where you build:<\/b> In Android Studio, you can use any model and we also help guide you to the best performing model. Choose any of the top remote models from Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, or if you need to run locally \u2013 Gemma 4 is our most capable and efficient local model! And with the Android CLI, you can build Android apps faster and easier using the agents and developer environments of your choice.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
As always, performance and quality remain top priorities:<\/b> We’ll continue to invest in your favorite Android developer tools: from emulators to profilers, performance analyzers, and more!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
1: Let your agent handle it<\/h3>\n
agent skills<\/h2>\n
Android Studio now supports agent skills<\/a>The modular instruction prescribes that the LLM be grounded in particular workflows and domain-specific knowledge. By adding skills to your project, you can teach the agent to follow specific best practices, architectural patterns, or library workflows. This enables more accurate, context-aware code generation and automated skill activation for the appropriate task, ensuring that the agent performs as an expert. We’ve bundled many of the top Android and Firebase Agent skills into the latest Android Studio Peechatki<\/a> Build, so you can get straight to building!<\/p>\n

skills in agent mode<\/i><\/div>\nYou can create your own skills, or use android cli<\/a> to establish our official skills<\/a> – A repository that covers some of the most common workflows that some Android developers and LLMs may struggle with. They help models better understand and execute specific patterns that follow our best practices and guidance on Android development, like XML to Compose migration, edge-to-edge, Navigation 3, and more. You can also build for Android XR by starting with a beautiful DisplayGlass app with Jetpack Compose Prabha<\/a>. Official Android skills are automatically bundled with the latest Android Studio so the agent is ready to build!<\/p>\n
Build full-stack apps with Firebase in agent mode<\/h2>\n
Firebase services like Auth and Firestore Database may now be available Enabled directly within agent mode<\/a> using in android studio agent skills for firebase<\/a>. Your agent will be able to complete the Firebase integration and configure the backend services. This integration empowers you to build robust, full-stack Android applications without leaving your IDE!<\/p>\n

parallel conversation<\/h2>\n
You can now run multiple conversations in parallel with Agent Mode. In a conversation, run tests and while you’re waiting, you can start planning mode for a new feature in your app, using the third conversation thread to write documentation for your app. These improvements will save you time and improve your productivity. <\/p>\n

A more capable new project agent<\/h2>\n
Android Studio’s new Project Agent has evolved into a powerful full-stack development tool, using multi-step execution planning and an autonomous “generation loop” that automatically fixes build errors and configures dependencies across multiple files. This advanced capability is significantly enhanced by its new integration with Firebase Agent Skills, allowing developers to seamlessly build, debug, and deploy full-stack applications directly from a single prompt to final production.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nCreating an app with the new Project Agent<\/i><\/p>\n
Additionally, it now offers support for larger screens. You can build your project from the ground up with layout, navigation, and components optimized for tablet, foldable, and laptop devices. It has additional logic to test your app on a larger-screen emulator if you have a capable emulator. Simply configure the required device in the Android emulator and the agent can test it!<\/p>\n

2: Any AI provider, build anywhere you want<\/h3>\n
Build Android Apps in Google AI Studio<\/h2>\n
Google AI Studio now has full Android app development capabilities. Users can create new applications, preview them instantly via the embedded Android emulator, and deploy them directly to physical devices using ADB over USB. Additionally, developers can publish directly to Google Play; The AI \u200b\u200bStudio app handles the record creation, bundles the package, and uploads it to the internal test track. For advanced development and production preparation, projects can be exported as a zip file and opened seamlessly in Android Studio. <\/span><\/span>To get started, go to Google AI Studio<\/a> Start building today! <\/p>\n

Google AI Studio Build Mode with Android Framework<\/i><\/div>\nAndroid CLI helps you build faster, more efficiently with any agent<\/h2>\n
The Android CLI enables you to build apps using any agents, LLMs, and tools of your choice. The Android CLI is designed to help build AI agents faster and use fewer tokens than just using normal AI tools. By grounding agents with an Android knowledge base and Android skills, you can now have your agent of choice following the latest best practices in any coding environment.<\/p>\n
Additionally, when using the latest Canary version of Android Studio Quell, the Android CLI enables your agent to take advantage of the powerful capabilities of the IDE, such as analyzing files for issues or finding symbol declarations. Google AntiGravity 2.0 now offers official support for Android development android cli<\/a>.<\/div>\n
And now in the latest Canary build, you can download and run Gemma 4 directly from the IDE, without the need to set up an external server.<\/p>\n
Android Studio allows developers to bring any models of their choosing into the IDE for agentic AI assistance. Power your workflow with models like Gemini, GPT, and Cloud, or use on-premise models like Gemma 4. This flexibility gives developers greater control over performance, privacy, and cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
