Hi everyone!

Sharing a major update to Gemini in Android Studio: it's now multimodal! You can attach images directly to your prompts, opening up a whole new world of possibilities for Android developers.

This means you can:

🖼️ Generate UI Code from Images: Show Gemini a wireframe or mockup, and it'll generate Jetpack Compose code. This is huge for rapid prototyping.
🗺️ Explain Diagrams: Upload an architecture diagram and have Gemini explain the components and data flow.
🐛 Debug with Screenshots: Attach a screenshot of a UI bug and get suggestions for fixes.

It's like going from "describing" your problem to "showing" your problem – much more intuitive and efficient. From napkin sketches, to a real UI, is now much faster. The only limit is your imagination.

The Gemini integration has notably improved Android development efficiency, especially the feature that generates layout code from screenshots, which reduces a lot of repetitive work. It's quite a practical tool.
