I lead engineering for Android developer tools and libraries at Google. Opinions my own.
The math seems to check out - it's 0.1%, which rounded to the nearest whole percent is 0%. Is there a good reason to instead say "less than 1%" ? For 27.2% should it say "less than 28%"? Or "more than 27%" ? (Really asking, I don't understand the ux principle..)

Sorry, it looks like the bug tracking component itself was misconfigured; that's been corrected now and the bug (and any others in the same category) should now be accessible externally.

Yes! Just file it in the normal android studio category (available from the Help menu) and it should be routed appropriately

Ja!

We've definitely heard the request; nothing to announce yet though.

I recommend setting up an API key (check the Gemini settings in Studio); that switches to a model which seems to do a better job with function calls. If not you sometimes have situations like the following :-)

We have a long list of improvements and fixes we're working on (along with expanding the set of available tools of course), but given the strong interest we also wanted to make it available to start experimenting with!

I'm already finding it quite useful.

A File is also not a file 😀

Yep - this is issuetracker.google.com/issues/62121... - we'll have more documentation soon. @ducrohet.bsky.social, want to add anything?

Paging @fabinou.bsky.social , the tech lead for adb who did a lot of the work. Studio isn't enough, I think adb is the most important part, you may need OS improvements too for the standby listening thing; Fabien, what are the minimum versions?

It only started working properly a few weeks ago so not a lot of experience yet; I deliberately picked very simple examples for the demo to get the point across, but it seems to generalize to larger codebases too (it also has access to grep tools etc). But local codebase awareness needs more work.

I'll show both (and more!) in a lot more detail in tomorrow's session together with @jamaleason.bsky.social :
