| | What you missed from #TheAndroidShow | | We just dropped our summer episode of The Android Show, where we unpacked all of the goodies coming out of last month's Made by Google, including the new Pixel 10 Pro Fold, how you can get building for Wear OS 6, the latest for Gemini in Android Studio, plus Androidify - which lets you make your own Android bot using a selfie and Google's AI tools. (And for Android users, we also just dropped a bunch of new feature updates today; you can read more about those here). Let's dive in! | | | The latest for Gemini in Android Studio | | | | | | Build for every screen with Compose Adaptive Layouts Library 1.2 beta | | | With its stunning 8-inch inner display that unfolds to create a fully-capable 6.4-inch outer display, the new Pixel 10 Pro Fold is a powerful new stage for your app to shine. Embracing adaptive app development to take full advantage of this and other large screens is easier than ever, with the Compose Adaptive Layouts 1.2 library now officially in beta. This foundational library is packed with powerful tools to help you create sophisticated, adaptive UIs with less code. Build dynamic, multi-pane experiences using new layout strategies like reflow and levitate, and use the new Large and Extra-Large window size classes to make your app more intuitive and engaging than ever. | | | | Bring your most expressive apps to the wrist with Wear OS 6 | | | The new Pixel Watch 4 has arrived, powered by the stable release of Wear OS 6. This launch empowers you to elevate your app by making it more expressive, personal, and powerful, without compromise. Create stunning, distinct UIs with Material 3 Expressive, fully realized on the Pixel Watch 4. Engage users by building your own watch face marketplace with the new Watch Face Push API. And, build on a more reliable and efficient foundation, with watches updating to Wear OS 6 seeing up to 10% better battery life and faster app launches. | | | | | Android Studio Narwhal 3 Feature Drop | | | We just released the latest stable version of Android Studio Narwhal 3 Feature Drop. It brings features like Resizable Compose Preview, Play Policy Insights, and more. It also includes features for Gemini in Android Studio such as AGENT.md file support. | | | | Androidify is live, start making your Android bots, powered by a selfie and AI | | | We've been on a journey to completely reimagine Android with Gemini right at the center. And so we asked ourselves: why don't we also rebuild the Android mascot, with AI at its core too? The answer was pretty obvious: a selfie + AI, in a new version of Androidify, available on the web or on Google Play. In the rebuilt version of Androidify, you can upload a selfie (or write a prompt of what you're looking for), add some accessories and see what AI builds. | | | | | | | | | | |
