Android Dev Summit Returns with Android 18 Graphics Tease

Google's Android Dev Summit is back after a four-year hiatus, and it promises to be an exciting event for developers. The conference will take place on October 28-29 at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, with a satellite 'Extended' event in London. This year's agenda includes a keynote address by Android leadership, where they will discuss the latest features and updates.

One of the main highlights of the conference is the mention of Android 18, which promises to bring powerful new graphics features. In one of the sessions, attendees will learn how to build visually stunning effects using Jetpack Compose and Android 18. The session aims to take developers' UI skills from 'it works' to 'it's a work of art.'

Android XR and AI are also key focuses of this year's conference. Sessions will cover topics such as connecting apps to Gemini, Search, and the Android intelligence system, integrating apps with the Android intelligence system, and building audio-first experiences for intelligent eyewear with Gemini Nano 4.
