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.

We challenged Gemini 4 Carbon in @Antigravity with a prompt:
"Build me an Android app that lets you walk on the moon, jump between planets, and experience accurate gravity." 👩🚀
After a bit of back and forth.... the results? 🧵👇
Gemini 4 Carbon navigated the full Android loop to ship a playable 9-world 3D explorer from scratch:
🛠️ Scaffolded app (android create + docs)
🚀 Ran QA loop (android run + screen capture)
🎨 3D suits, rovers & shaders
🦖 Rigged a 40ft 3D walking T. rex

What's new from #AndroidDevSummit:
🏗️ Jetpack AppState brings Compose deeper in your architecture
🤖 Android skills introduce agent-ready tooling to scale across screen sizes
Learn more → goo.gle/4zgYltw
The Geospatial API lets you accurately position experiences in the real world. You can anchor spatial content on buildings or create city tours using ARCore for Jetpack XR or Unity. 🏙️
Integrate geospatial anchoring to build location-aware → goo.gle/4ktf0X0
Before OpenXR Spatial Containers, you couldn't run Compose UI panels and a 3D game engine scene at the same time.
Now you can embed @unity or @godotengine as a library to build experiences with Jetpack Compose for XR. Watch the full session → goo.gle/4sQHMTK
We just added 3 new models to Android Bench! 📊🤖
Get the data you need to pick the right model for your workflow. Check out the updated leaderboard to see how your favorite stacks up → goo.gle/3QKwMsh
ALT Android Bench scores for new models: GPT-6.1 Terra (28.7), Kimi K3.1 Pro (24.0), and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (17.3).

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!
50+ #AndroidDevSummit sessions are live, ready to watch, download, and feed to your agent. Grab the Markdown, subscribe to the JSON feed, and take the Agent Skills into your own workflow. Start here → goo.gle/4iy8w6A
Build with any agent in Android Studio, iterate with Compose Previews from Google Antigravity via the Android plugin, and let agents analyze your app's performance from anywhere with Android CLI.
🤖🛠️ Create high-quality Android apps faster with these updates from #AndroidDevSummit → goo.gle/4BGpZCP

Last week at #AndroidDevSummit was a blast! It was so energizing to see developers diving into #Intelligent Apps and pushing the hackathon to the next leve with #GeminiNana v4, #Gemini models, and Firebase AI Logic.

So excited for the launch of the XREAL AURA!
You can plug other devices into it and have that screen side-by-side with your Android XR windows. That means you can get help from Gemini with whatever is happening on those screens.
Congrats to XREAL on such a great device! For a limited time, it's $1099. Available in US, Canada, and Korea, and starting Nov 2 in Japan.

@bentrengrove and my #androiddevsummit talk is live on youtube.
TLDR:
1. Think deeply about how to architect the right environments for your agents.
2. Keep your context windows as small as possible.
3. Use tools like Android CLI.
4. Use loops.

Big news out of #AndroidDevSummit! 🚀
We announced the Connected Apps Platform that gives developers a unified entry point to surface their apps directly across Gemini and Search.

At #AndroidDevSummit we spoke about all the latest features in Compose and Android Platform for graphics! 💚
One of the features I'm most excited about is the new API in Platform version 37.2 - RenderNode.setBackdropRenderEffect & createChainEffect.
These APIs unlock a lot of exciting effects, like frosted glass effects, progressive blur backdrops, or even a fun kaleidoscope effect.
The limit to how you transform a backdrop is now limited to your imagination as you can pass in any shader your heart desires 🥰
The recording of our talk is now available ⬆️
