LEARN WITH A CLEAR DIRECTION

Gemini in Android Studio / Agent Mode

Use Gemini in Android Studio for scoped implementation, agent workflows, context management, debugging and reviewed changes.

Beginner to IntermediateSelf-paced7 modules13 available lessons

Your path, one skill at a time.

Use Gemini in Android Studio for scoped implementation, agent workflows, context management, debugging and reviewed changes. Follow six teaching modules, each with a practical assignment, then combine the skills in the final project. Start with the introduction even if the tools are familiar: it defines the scope and boundaries of the path.

Self-paced. Complete each exercise and use its checkpoint before moving to the next module. Revisit any prerequisite you cannot yet demonstrate.

What you’ll learn

  • Define acceptance criteria before generation
  • Review every changed file and dependency
  • Demonstrate a regression test or device check that would fail before the change

THE CURRICULUM

Build your knowledge, step by step.

13 lessons across 7 modules. Open a module to explore its lessons and practical work.

01MODULE 01What an IDE coding agent does2 lessons · Self-paced
  • Interaction modes
  • Context quality
  • Engineering ownership

Distinguish explanation, completion and multi-step workspace work.

  1. 01What an IDE coding agent doesLesson · Self-paced
  2. 02Practice: What an IDE coding agent doesLab · Self-paced

Ready to move on when: You can choose an interaction mode based on the work required.

02MODULE 02Project context and instructions2 lessons · Self-paced
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Repository guidance
  • Context boundaries

Create a task brief that guides a focused implementation.

  1. 01Project context and instructionsLesson · Self-paced
  2. 02Practice: Project context and instructionsLab · Self-paced

Ready to move on when: The expected behavior can be verified independently of the generated patch.

03MODULE 03Planning and implementing with Agent Mode2 lessons · Self-paced
  • Inspection phase
  • Incremental edits
  • Tool actions

Keep multi-file work coherent and reviewable.

  1. 01Planning and implementing with Agent ModeLesson · Self-paced
  2. 02Practice: Planning and implementing with Agent ModeLab · Self-paced

Ready to move on when: The implementation stays within the acceptance criteria and necessary supporting changes.

04MODULE 04Debugging with evidence2 lessons · Self-paced
  • Reproduction first
  • Hypothesis checks
  • Android-specific tools

Use the agent to form and test hypotheses.

  1. 01Debugging with evidenceLesson · Self-paced
  2. 02Practice: Debugging with evidenceLab · Self-paced

Ready to move on when: The fix addresses a demonstrated cause rather than a coincidental symptom.

05MODULE 05Testing and reviewing generated changes2 lessons · Self-paced
  • Meaningful tests
  • Diff inspection
  • Runtime validation

Make verification independent from the implementation narrative.

  1. 01Testing and reviewing generated changesLesson · Self-paced
  2. 02Practice: Testing and reviewing generated changesLab · Self-paced

Ready to move on when: Your evidence remains convincing without the agent’s claim that the work is complete.

06MODULE 06A repeatable issue-to-review workflow2 lessons · Self-paced
  • Completion criteria
  • Known limitations
  • Learning from revisions

Produce a handoff another engineer can trust.

  1. 01A repeatable issue-to-review workflowLesson · Self-paced
  2. 02Practice: A repeatable issue-to-review workflowLab · Self-paced

Ready to move on when: A reviewer can assess the patch without reading the agent conversation.

07MODULE 07Capstone and portfolio review1 lessons · Self-paced
  • Define acceptance criteria before generation
  • Review every changed file and dependency
  • Demonstrate a regression test or device check that would fail before the change

Use Agent Mode to implement a small UI behavior change with a reviewed plan, focused diff and device verification.

  1. 01Capstone: Gemini in Android Studio / Agent ModeProject · Self-paced

Ready to move on when: Demonstrate every acceptance criterion and explain the tradeoffs without relying on the lesson text.

PROVE YOUR SKILLS

A portfolio you can build, explain, and defend.

  • Define acceptance criteria before generation
  • Review every changed file and dependency
  • Demonstrate a regression test or device check that would fail before the change

Use the final review rubric to identify gaps. Lesson completion tracks study progress; readiness comes from independently demonstrating the work.
