Now available: Gemini 3 Flash, frontier intelligence built for speed, is now available on Firebase AI Logic! ⚡️ Low-latency performance for production apps 🔒 Secure Server Prompt Templates 📊 Visibility into success rates via AI Monitoring Start building on Android using Gemini 3 Flash → https://goo.gle/4anHEE8
Ready to start building for a new dimension? ✨ The #AndroidXR developer site has everything you need to get started: https://goo.gle/41IGqhW Did you know the Android XR SDK supports developing from where your app is today? Choose whether you want to develop with Android Jetpack XR, Unity, OpenXR, or WebXR.
Let's hear your ideas. What would you build with an API that can generate custom backgrounds on the fly? 🎨 We used Gemini Nano Banana to create the "Background Vibe" feature in #Androidify. The creative possibilities are huge, and we want to see what you'd do with this tech. Get inspired by our approach → https://goo.gle/3KXAUSs
Less guessing, more fixing 🛠️ See how the new diagnostic stack trace mode in Jetpack Compose 1.10 helps you pinpoint issues faster. Great tip from Rebecca Franks 👇🏽
Jetpack Compose executes your code in multiple different phases, which causes some parts of the @Composable function to be executed separately from each other. Crashes in these phases can result in stack traces that are hard to decipher 😩 Making it difficult to pinpoint the exact function or line of code that caused the crash. 💥 In Jetpack Compose version 1.10, you can set the diagnostic stack trace mode that collects source information even if your app has proguard applied. Check out the details here for more info on prerequisites, and the various modes available to you: https://lnkd.in/g2XyQuSP
The enhanced Accessibility Service API in Android 16 offers a one-line code solution to stops malicious apps from secretly reading or hijacking clicks on your app's sensitive views. This simple-to-use defense secures user data without interrupting the experience for those who rely on accessibility tools → https://goo.gle/3XWzsmQ
We’re totally hooked on these new styles 🪝 Infinite combinations are up for grabs to build an #Androidify bot that’s 100% you. Snatch up your unique look → androidify.com
Faster compilations, cooler devices, and no action needed from you → https://goo.gle/4rWJbav The Android Runtime team set a challenging goal for 2025: improve compile times without degrading code quality or increasing memory usage. By optimizing data structures and refining heuristics, we achieved an 18% reduction in compile time. This isn't just a win for developer builds—it improves JIT and AOT efficiency on user devices, leading to better battery life and smoother performance. Best of all, these changes are rolling out to everyone on Android 12 and above.
If your R8 is configured with proguard-android.txt, you are likely missing out on significant performance and size optimizations. Switching to proguard-android-optimize.txt translates into a better user experience through smaller apk, faster app startup times and smoother runtime performance. Try out this one line change in your next build and see the difference for yourself!
