Multimodal image attachment is now available for Gemini in Android Studio

Multimodal Image Attachment in Gemini for Android Studio:

Gemini in Android Studio now supports multimodal inputs, allowing users to attach images (JPEG or PNG) to prompts for enhanced functionality.

This feature improves collaboration and UI development workflows.

Use Cases for the Multimodal Feature:

• Rapid UI Prototyping: Convert wireframes or mockups into Jetpack Compose code.
• Diagram Explanation: Upload architectural diagrams for detailed explanations or documentation.
• UI Troubleshooting: Analyze UI bugs using screenshots and receive solution suggestions.

Technical Notes:

The feature provides an initial "first draft" design scaffold, which may require refinement.

Images with intense colour contrast yield the best results.

Privacy Commitment:

Android Studio ensures source code is not sent to servers without user consent, maintaining a focus on privacy.

Availability:

This multimodal feature is accessible in the latest Android Studio Canary release.

Feedback and bug reports are encouraged to refine the feature further.
