Let's go on a joy ride with Giraffe and Hedgehog!
summary
Gives hands‑on steps to use Girrafe (stable) and Hedge Hog (release candidate) inside Android Studio: how device manager lists and groups physical devices and emulators, how running devices mirror screens and let you kill/attach processes from the new device explorer, how Compose multi‑preview templates (about six font scales and multiple form factors) and interactive previews work, how live edits apply UI changes without full builds, how App Quality Insights and Android Vitals surface crashes, and that Kotlin Gradle DSL and version catalogs are built in. Demo stability is mostly fine but a device went offline during the presentation.
