AI agent IDE for Android with planning and edit prediction

Android Studio Panda 4 adds Planning Mode, Next Edit Prediction, Agent Web Search, and a Gemini API Starter Template to Google's Android IDE. For Android developers building production apps with AI.
Android Studio Panda 4 introduces four new AI-driven features that improve how developers handle complex coding tasks:
Planning Mode: Adds a deliberation step before code generation. The agent creates an implementation plan, you review and refine it, then it executes with a tracked task list and produces a clear walkthrough for auditing.
Next Edit Prediction (NEP): Anticipates follow-up changes across files after edits (like updating data classes or constructors). Surfaces them inline as one-keystroke suggestions, reducing context switching.
Gemini API Starter Template: Preconfigures Firebase AI Logic, handling API keys and backend setup. Supports multimodal inputs (text, image, video, audio) and is built for production use.
Agent Web Search: Provides live access to third-party library documentation directly into the IDE.
These features help developers move faster while maintaining structure especially for refactoring, feature development, and AI integration. NEP, in particular, delivers compounding productivity gains by eliminating constant file-hopping.
