Announcing ADK for Kotlin and ADK for Android 0.1.0: Building AI Agents on Android and Beyond- Google Developers Blog

Announces ADK for Kotlin 0.1.0 and ADK for Android 0.1.0. ADK for Kotlin enables agentic workflows on backend projects, supporting hybrid orchestration (cloud orchestrator with on-device sub-agents), on-device sequential agents, local retrieval, and flexible tooling. ADK for Android provides specialized on-device optimizations for AI agents within Android apps, leveraging local LLMs (like Gemini Nano) for enhanced privacy and the ability to bridge with cloud models. The post provides code examples for building agents in Kotlin and integrating ADK into Android projects, highlighting features like model swapping, session state sharing, and tool integration using annotations.
