Google opens Android development to third-party AI agents at Android Dev Summit

Google unveiled Android Studio Rabbit 2 at the Android Dev Summit, introducing a "Bring Your Own Agent" feature that allows developers to run over 40 third-party coding agents, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's Codex, directly within the IDE via the new Agent Client Protocol. The update also includes new Gemini APIs, a code verification tool called Change Review, and a migration assistant for modernizing XML layouts. Google expanded the Android CLI with terminal tools for UI preview and physical device streaming, and integrated the LeakCanary memory leak detection library to improve debugging efficiency.
