Check out the brand new Kodeco book to learn how to build intelligent Android apps with AI!

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a core feature of modern mobile apps. From intelligent assistants to image recognition and generative interfaces, users increasingly expect apps to be smarter, faster and more helpful.

To help Android developers bring these capabilities into their own applications, we’re excited to announce a new Kodeco book:

Practical Android AI 👉

Build Intelligent Android Apps

Practical Android AI is a hands-on guide to integrating modern AI capabilities into Android apps using Kotlin and the latest Android tools. Rather than focusing on theory, the book shows you how to build real features that developers can use in production applications.

Throughout the book, you’ll explore both on-device machine learning and cloud-powered generative AI, learning when to use each approach and how to integrate them effectively into your apps.

What You’ll Learn

In this book you’ll discover how to:

  • Integrate on-device AI using tools such as ML Kit and MediaPipe
  • Add generative AI features to Android apps using modern APIs
  • Build AI-powered user experiences, including conversational interfaces
  • Understand when to choose local vs cloud inference
  • Design apps that are performant, scalable and privacy-conscious

Each chapter focuses on practical examples and real code, helping you move from experimentation to building production-ready AI features.

Who This Book Is For

Practical Android AI is designed for:

  • Android developers who want to add AI features to their apps
  • Kotlin developers exploring modern AI tooling
  • Mobile engineers interested in generative AI and intelligent interfaces

If you’re comfortable building Android apps and want to start incorporating AI into your work, this book will give you the tools and understanding to get started.
