Gemini API を初めて使用する場合は、Gemini Developer API が Android デベロッパー向けの推奨API プロバイダです。ただし、特定のデータのロケーション要件がある場合や、Vertex AI または Google Cloud 環境にすでに組み込まれている場合は、Vertex AI Gemini API を使用できます。
Vertex AI in Firebase からの移行
Firebase の Vertex AI を使用して Gemini Flash モデルと Pro モデルを統合した場合、API プロバイダとして Vertex AI に移行して引き続き使用できます。詳細な移行ガイドについては、Firebase のドキュメントをご覧ください。
スタートガイド
アプリから Vertex AI Gemini API を直接操作する前に、Vertex AI Studio でプロンプトを試すことができます。
Firebase プロジェクトを設定し、アプリを Firebase に接続する
アプリから Vertex AI Gemini API を呼び出す準備ができたら、Firebase AI Logic スタートガイドの「ステップ 1」の手順に沿って、アプリで Firebase と SDK を設定します。
Gradle 依存関係を追加する
アプリ モジュールに次の Gradle 依存関係を追加します。

But if you have specific\ndata [location requirements](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones) or you are already embedded in the\nVertex AI or Google Cloud environment, you can use the Vertex AI Gemini API.\n\nMigration from Vertex AI in Firebase\n------------------------------------\n\nIf you originally integrated the Gemini Flash and Pro models using Vertex AI in\nFirebase, you can migrate to and continue using Vertex AI as an API provider.\nRead the Firebase documentation for a detailed [migration guide](https://firebase.google.com/docs/vertex-ai/migrate-to-latest-sdk).\n\nGetting started\n---------------\n\nBefore you interact with the Vertex AI Gemini API directly from your app, you\ncan experiment with prompts in [Vertex AI Studio](https://console.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/studio).\n\n### Set up a Firebase project and connect your app to Firebase\n\nOnce you're ready to call the Vertex AI Gemini API from your app, follow the\ninstructions in the \"Step 1\" Firebase AI Logic getting started guide to set up\nFirebase and the SDK in your app.\n\n### Add the Gradle dependency\n\nAdd the following Gradle dependency to your app module: \n\n dependencies {\n // ... other androidx dependencies\n\n // Import the BoM for the Firebase platform\n implementation(platform(\"com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:34.1.0\"))\n\n // Add the dependency for the Firebase AI Logic library. When using the BoM,\n // you don't specify versions in Firebase library dependencies\n implementation(\"com.google.firebase:firebase-ai\")\n }\n\n### Initialize the generative model\n\nStart by instantiating a `GenerativeModel` and specifying the model name: \n\n### Kotlin\n\n val model = Firebase.ai(backend = GenerativeBackend.vertexAI())\n .generativeModel(\"gemini-2.5-flash\")\n\n### Java\n\n GenerativeModel firebaseAI = FirebaseAI.getInstance(GenerativeBackend.vertexAI())\n .generativeModel(\"gemini-2.5-flash\");\n\n GenerativeModelFutures model = GenerativeModelFutures.from(firebaseAI);\n\nIn the Firebase documentation, you can learn more about the [available\nmodels](https://firebase.google.com/docs/vertex-ai/gemini-models) for use with the Gemini Developer API. You can also learn\nabout [configuring model parameters](https://firebase.google.com/docs/vertex-ai/model-parameters?platform=android).\n\n### Generate text\n\nTo generate a text response, call `generateContent()` with your prompt. \n\n### Kotlin\n\n // Note: generateContent() is a suspend function, which integrates well\n // with existing Kotlin code.\n scope.launch {\n val response = model.generateContent(\"Write a story about a magic backpack.\")\n }\n\n### Java\n\n Content prompt = new Content.Builder()\n .addText(\"Write a story about a magic backpack.\")\n .build();\n\n ListenableFuture\u003cGenerateContentResponse\u003e response = model.generateContent(prompt);\n Futures.addCallback(response, new FutureCallback\u003cGenerateContentResponse\u003e() {\n @Override\n public void onSuccess(GenerateContentResponse result) {\n String resultText = result.getText();\n [...]\n }\n\n @Override\n public void onFailure(Throwable t) {\n t.printStackTrace();\n }\n }, executor);\n\nSimilar to the Gemini Developer API, you can also pass images, audio, video and\nfiles with your text prompt (see \"Interact [with the Gemini Developer API from\nyour app\"](/ai/gemini/developer-api#interact-gemini)).\n\nTo learn more about Firebase AI Logic SDK, read the [Firebase documentation](https://firebase.google.com/docs/vertex-ai/get-started?platform=android)."]]
