Analyze runtime errors with Logcat and Gemini

Gemini in Android Studio helps you understand and resolve errors from the Logcat window, streamlining your debugging process. When your app throws an error or exception, you can use the "Ask Gemini" feature to get immediate explanations and actionable suggestions without leaving the IDE.

  1. Run your app and monitor the Logcat window. When an exception or error occurs, Android Studio provides the stack trace.
