"To help developers customize Gemini's behavior on a per-project basis, Android Studio now supports AGENTS.md Markdown files where teams can define project-specific context, including instructions, coding style rules, and other guidance. Each directory can have its own AGENTS.md file for more granular control, and the shared files make it easy for teams to align on the same context. Two other new features are Image Attachment and the @File Context, which makes it easier to include images or entire files in queries."
"For example, developers can attach images for a UI mock-up and ask Gemini to generate the Compose code that implements it, ask it to help understand the UI structure and data flow from a screenshot, or suggest a UI fix or improvement based on a circled area in a screenshot. As Google product manager Paris Hsu explained, early adopters of image attachment reduced the time required to implement their user interface by 40% ."
Android Studio Narwhal 3 introduces productivity enhancements including resizable Compose previews and new app Backup & Restore tools. AGENTS.md Markdown files enable per-project and per-directory context with instructions, coding style rules, and team guidance. Image Attachment and the @File Context allow images or entire files to be included in prompts so Gemini can generate Compose code, analyze UI structure and data flow from screenshots, or suggest fixes from circled areas. Prefixing a word with @ displays candidate files for inclusion. Uploading Figma screenshots enabled full-screen generation in minutes and teams reported a 40% reduction in average UI build time per screen.
