Android Dev Summit returns Oct. 28-29, and one session names Android 18 and its new graphics tools.
Google is reviving the Android Dev Summit on October 28-29 at its Mountain View campus, with a companion event in London.
One session is titled Elevate your apps with the latest graphics features in Jetpack Compose and Android 18.
Developers will learn to build mesh gradients and progressive blurs while improving graphics performance.
Four tracks cover AI experiences, Android XR, apps foundation, and tools and performance, including Gemini Nano 4 eyewear talks.
Google has not announced an Android 18 preview. Android 16's first preview arrived in November 2024, so October would be early.
