Device Streaming and Android skills - available in Android CLI
Posted by Simona Milanovic, Developer Relations Engineer As Android developers, you have many choices when it comes to the agents, LLMs, tools, and command-line interfaces (CLI) you use for app development. Our goal is to help you build beautiful, high-quality Android apps, no matter how you choose to build. We’re announcing updates to our Android CLI command-line tooling, including the ability…
Android developers now have access to Android Device Streaming through the Android CLI, allowing them to interact with real physical devices remotely. This tool enables spinning up devices, deploying builds, collecting logs and traces, and even capturing screenshots using the terminal. To start, users must link their project and instruct their agent to list available remote devices.
Additionally, Android skills have been expanded to provide more precise and fresher data for AI agents. With over 20 skills available, developers can equip their AI agents to handle complex development tasks such as auditing Play policy compliance, implementing Restore Credentials, and using Android profilers. The Wear Compose Material 3 skill (wear/wear-compose-m3) specifically focuses on building for Wear OS, which involves distinct design and development decisions like round viewports, rotary input, ambient display mode, and minimizing power consumption.
Early adopters are already experiencing productivity improvements by using this skill, such as modernizing apps with TransformingLazyColumn and ScreenScaffold content padding, and detecting mistakes missed by the underlying model.
