A wide range of features and tools were disclosed during Developer's Note, a separate segment conducted solely for Android developers. Among the abundance of such tools, the most noteworthy are aimed to let developers exploit the capabilities of AI and enjoy developing high-quality apps for the Android.
What’s new in Android Developer Tools
As Google has incorporated AI features in Android Studio for the purpose of development environment for building Android apps, here's a rundown of all that was of a notable degree.
Gemini in Android Studio
One key AI feature is Gemini, which would now suggests coding workaround within the Android Studio editor, allowing developers to send custom prompts to Gemini, leading to the generation of code suggestions which a developer can either add to new code or transform an existing one.
Gemini for recommendations on crash reports
At Google I/O Keynote, it was observed that Gemini would be added to the App Quality Insights tool in Android Studio to merge data from Firebase Crashlytics and Android Vitals, facilitating to analyse their app's crash reports, get insights, provide a crash summary, and provide possible solutions, including coding samples and relevant documentation.
A new starter app template has also been installed in Android Studio to make developers begin prototyping with Gemini. This template allows developers to extend their desired prompts directly to the Gemini API, write image sources as input, and display the responses.
Using Vertex AI — Google's well-managed platform for designing and deploying generative AI applications — developers can access powerful Gemini AI when they're ready to take their AI features to production.
