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 ⬆️

We’re launching a preview of our Connected Apps Platform, giving developers a single place to build and manage apps for Search and the @GeminiApp.
Plus, we’re rolling out a new set of Connected Apps from partners like @Adobe, @Calm, and @onepeloton to make your everyday activities more streamlined.

That’s a wrap on #AndroidDevSummit! 🎬
The announcements, hackathon, and deep dives were fantastic, but the real highlight is always this community. From the live sessions to people watching at home, seeing developers from all over the world connect and build together is what makes this ecosystem unmatched. 🧵👇
Day 2 of #AndroidDevSummit! It was nice to chat to people about adaptive apps, and the various tools you can use like our new adaptive skills github.com/android/skills. Ready for the panel on Agentic coding with experts from the industry 🤖
super excited to chat with these peeps at #AndroidDevSummit on how this whole AI thing is changing our dev lives. come join us !

I got to share the news yesterday at ADS that just in the last 2 months the usage of Android CLI has grown 10x and shows no indications of slowing down. These additional commands are only going to make it even more attractive to developers and their agents.
🚀 A massive batch of new commands landed in Android CLI 💻, just in time for Android Dev Summit!
Render Compose Previews to PNG & JSON (android preview) 🎨
Investigate crashes and ANRs via Crashlytics (android signals) 🐛
Record system traces & heap dumps (android profiler) ⚡
Inspect APKs, DEX & R8 (android analyze) 📦
Plus a fresh release of Android skills for many areas, including ML Kit Agent API, Jetpack Ink, Glance, and more 😌

Was so great talking to Android devs yesterday at the #AndroidDevSummit! I learned a lot about all the ways Google is making it easier to create powerful apps for every kind and size of screen. Summit is still happening today so follow along with @AndroidDev for more.
Android CLI is here to take the tedious infrastructure work off your plate. 🛠️
We built this tool-first interface to optimize your preferred agent so you can hand off the heavy lifting. Here’s what’s new. 👇🧵
Give your agent Android expertise in under a minute. 🧠
We now have over 30 new Android skills across 20 areas, and we're adding more every week to our GitHub repo → goo.gle/48p3RPI
Use them and ask your agent to fix a performance issue. Show us what it caught! 👇
People who use the same app on their phone and their laptop spend 9x more in the app than people who only use a phone. Googlebook lets you reach those laptop users without building a second app. One codebase, both screens.
Learn how 👇🧵

Googlebook comes with 16GB of RAM and a fast on-device AI chip (45+ TOPS), so you can run AI models and dev tools right on the device. No slow cloud delays. No token bills. 💻
