What’s your favorite coding agent? Today we're launching Bring Your Own Agent in Android Studio Preview! Developers can now plug in top-performing coding agents like Claude Agent, Codex, and Antigravity — and run them right inside the IDE. No jumping back and forth between dev tools, just using the agent you already trust, working where you already build. This changes the game for app development: the best agents, in the best place to use them, building top quality Android apps faster and easier than ever. Try it out and drop your favorite coding agent below👇 https://lnkd.in/gQTqNw7d Google Google Developers Group Google Antigravity Android Developers

Looking for UI inspiration that stands out? Android dev Jordon de Hoog created a unique, neobrutalism-style weather app that answers one simple question: Should I go outside? 🌧️☀️ "I've been working with Android for about ten years and I've written a lot of custom XML views in that time, and it was always a chore. Building the same kind of thing in Compose was honestly fun for me, and the entire design system is shared between Android and iOS through Compose Multiplatform, with Jetpack Compose underneath. The tooling pulled its weight too. Android Studio's layout inspector and animation previews made it quick to check performance and mess around with animations until they felt right. At this point I can't imagine starting a new project any other way. Compose is just how I build UI now." Check out the code and build an app with Compose! → https://lnkd.in/exZGnUHA

We've heard you want better blur support in Compose! The latest #JetpackCompose alpha introduces Progressive Blur for layers - allowing you to apply a non-uniform blur to your content (not backdrop just yet 😉) ! You can apply vertical, horizontal, radial gradients or even a custom blur intensity mask driven by a shader. 🪄 Available for API 33+

These days Android development is more fun, because you do less of the not-fun 🙂 ...And it was also fun working on this video with the great Android Developers team - thanks to Lily Sheringham and Chann Little, MBA in particular

Whenever a new Jetpack Compose release drops, I see the occasional misconception that "version 1.11" means its a young framework that’s not quite ready for primetime. That number can be a little misleading if you take it at face value. 🧐 But did you know that Jetpack Compose turned 5 years old this year and over 70% of the Top 1000 apps use it? For half a decade, the team has been shipping huge performance gains, new APIs, and many bug fixes. Yet the major version is still sitting at 1 - this is because Compose uses semantic versioning. Quick refresher on how SemVer works: Major (1.x.x -> 2.x.x) is only incremented for breaking changes. Minor (1.11.x -> 1.12.x) is for new, backward-compatible features. Patch: (1.12.1 -> 1.12.2) is for bug fixes We’ve had 100% backward compatibility over the last 5 years and we haven’t needed to jump to 2.0 just yet 😻 #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose #Kotlin #MobileDevelopment
