Google has released Android Studio Panda 2, featuring a Gemini-powered AI agent that can generate Android apps from a single prompt. The agent creates a project plan, writes code, builds, analyzes errors, and self-corrects in a loop. A hands-on test building a bridge card game analyzer showed the agent produced plausible-looking but functionally flawed code — including a hand with 14 cards and duplicate cards — with the double dummy analysis being a simplified, inaccurate heuristic. The release also deprecates Custom View preview in favor of Jetpack Compose and removes the 3D layout inspector mode. Privacy considerations are noted, as enabling full AI features requires sharing project context with Google.
