My app's paywall was looking a little too light on the animations. So added this carousel to show off all of the animations, plus some icon animations for the features list #buildinpublic #androiddev #jetpackcompose

I really liked this idea and wanted to join in on the fun and see how it felt as a library. Introducing Sea Glass for Compose. 🌊 Frosted color, softly tumbled edges, and a little light beneath each piece.

Googlebooks are here, and you can scale your app to reach users across the expanding ecosystem. 💻 By building on your existing foundation of adaptive UI, window size classes, and multi-input support, you can deliver an optimized experience → goo.gle/4d4PZwY

I'm already sizing my Compose ports for the Fold8 unfolded, so I'm hoping window size classes get me most of the way to a Googlebook. Keyboard and trackpad is the part I haven't touched yet.

That's great! Using Window Size Classes is definitely the best start for an adaptive UI, but a true desktop experience is more than just UI: think how you can empower your users to do more by following the desktop app quality guidelines: goo.gle/3U1KEAg

Load-bearing code vs drywall code 🤔👷‍♀️ Fast experimentation uses what we call drywall code while load bearing code is part of the system. What do you think of this concept? Learn more in the latest episode of Android Developers Backstage Podcast → goo.gle/3TVj9Z4

drywall code needs an expiry date. otherwise someone connects billing to it and suddenly it's load-bearing 😭

Android shipped an official Jetpack Compose performance skill: install it and your agent statically analyses your Compose code. Skills from the platform team are how agents in @Cursor_AI stop guessing about recomposition. #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose xitter.cf/riggaroo/status/211040…

We've just released a new official Android skill that can be used to statically analyse your #JetpackCompose code for performance improvements. ⚡️ Install it, and ask your agent to run the skill on your code. 🧑‍💻 We've seen some good results running it internally - give it a try and let us know any feedback! github.com/android/skills/tr…

So what’s Android Device Hub? A hidden tool in Android CLI. It’s essentially a screen mirroring app built with Electron. Too early to say if it’ll become a full standalone app. Features are missing.... but it looks promising! You can pin it to your dock, and it has a cute app icon :) (1/2)

The device streaming capability is going to be a hit as it empowers agentic workflows to test across a more diverse set of device form factors. I'm anticipating a step change in the app features targeting Android devices beyond handsets.
