Super excited to share our latest case study featuring Grab! 🚀
developer.android.com/blog/p…
Tackling performance across a decade-old codebase with 10M+ lines of code isn't an overnight flick of a switch—the Grab team achieved it by rolling out R8 Compat Mode with Startup Profiles, moving to Full Mode, and using the R8 Configuration Analyzer and refining their keep rules to push their optimization scores past 78% alongside strict CI guardrails.
The overall wins across the rollout:
📉 ~32.5% fewer ANRs
📦 ~30% smaller app size
⚡ 35% faster cold startup
#Android #MobileEngineering #R8 #AndroidDev
Slashing app download size by ~30% across a 10-million line codebase is easier than ever with R8 and Profile guided optimization. 🛠️
See how @GrabSG rolled out R8 Full Mode and Baseline Profiles to dramatically shrink their app and cut ANRs by 32% → goo.gle/4ysSUHC

We've been improving the #JetpackCompose documentation with loads of small fixes, but also new docs in general! 🔥
For ex: The Dragging composables documentation was updated to showcase Modifier.anchorredDraggable(), showcasing how to make custom navigation drawers with overscroll effects.

From self-healing build loops to production-ready Jetpack Compose & shaders, Gemini 4 Argon is available to help Android developers with complex development challenges.
Android developers with a paid Google AI Pro subscription can log into Antigravity within Android Studio to start using the new model.
We’re rolling out Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity to paid Google AI Pro subscribers today. Demand has been incredible and we've scaled capacity deliberately to get here. We’ve rolled out a separate weekly-only Argon quota for Pro on top of the existing Gemini bucket for 3.8 Flash so you have the best of Gemini for all your tasks.

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.
🚀 Lots of handy Android CLI updates this week!
Device Streaming is now in CLI - agents can now spin up remote devices 📱

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!

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?

Watch how Antigravity takes an Android app from prompt to real device. Using the Stitch MCP and the Android CLI plugin, the agent pulls your designs, builds the native Jetpack Compose components, verifies them in the emulator, and runs the final build on a real phone.
It's happening. #AndroidDevSummit is officially back.

If you looking to advance your AI usage with Android: My #1 tip is to install the Android CLI.
It's a bunch of easy to use tools from the command line, that you agents can interact with.
The latest feature added to the CLI is Device Streaming - allowing your agents to connect to remote Android devices.
