Android Studio Panda 2 is now stable and ready for you to use in production.

In January we announced Android Studio Otter 3 Feature Drop in stable, including Agent Mode enhancements and many other updates to provide more control and flexibility over using AI to help you build high quality Android apps.

Today we're releasing the second beta of Android 17, continuing our work to build a platform that prioritizes privacy, security, and refined performance.

User expectations for AI on their devices are fundamentally shifting how they interact with their apps.

In Android 17, apps targeting SDK 37 or higher will receive a new implementation of MessageQueue where the implementation is lock-free.

With the release of Android 16 in 2025, we shared our vision for a device ecosystem where apps adapt seamlessly to any screen—whether it’s a phone, foldable, tablet, desktop, car display, or XR. Users expect their apps to work everywhere.
