In just a few days, on Tuesday, August 27 at 10AM PT, we’ll be dropping our summer episode of #TheAndroidShow, on YouTube and on developer.android.com. In this quarterly show, we’ll be unpacking all of the goodies coming out of this month’s Made by Google event and what you as Android developers need to know!
With two new Wear OS 5 watches, we’ll show you how to get building for the wrist. And with the latest foldable from Google, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, we’ll show how you can leverage out of the box APIs and multi-window experiences to make your apps adaptive for this new form factor.
Plus, Gemini Nano now has Multimodality, and we’ll be going behind-the-scenes to show you how teams at Google are using the latest model for on-device AI.
#TheAndroidShow is your conversation with the Android developer community, this time hosted by Huyen Tue Dao and John Zoeller. You'll hear the latest from the developers and engineers who build Android.
Don’t forget to tune in live on August 27 at 10AM PT, live on YouTube and on developer.android.com/events/show!

Join the North America Android Study Jams to learn more about developing quality Android apps
Posted by Kübra Zengin, Program Manager
Learning about Android development doesn’t mean you have to learn by yourself. Join fellow developers in your community and improve your skills by attending an Android Study Jam! Events are currently taking place across North America.
Android Study Jams are community events where developers come together to learn, create, and collaborate. Participants will follow guided codelabs designed to improve their development skills, all with an extra focus on improving the quality of applications.
These codelabs are created by the Android Developer Relations team at Google with three different tracks.
- Track one focuses on developers who are completely new to programming.
- Track two is for developers who are already experienced with Android development and are looking to take their skills to the next level.
- Track three is for advanced developers who want to learn about Modern Android Development: the Androids team’s recommended tools, APIs, and programming language to help developers more productively build better quality apps. This track will cover :
- Jetpack Compose
- Kotlin coroutines
- Using Hilt and learning the importance of Dependency Injection
- Advanced WorkManager
- Advanced Testing Concepts
- Jetpack Compose Basics
