How to Set Up and Use Android Development
The Claude Android Skill is a Claude Code skill that encodes modern Android development best practices directly into Claude's context, enabling it to generate production-quality Android code aligned with Google's Now in Android reference architecture. It covers Clean Architecture layering (UI, Domain, Data), Jetpack Compose patterns, Hilt dependency injection, Room-based offline-first repositories, multi-module Gradle setups, and comprehensive testing strategies. Android developers working with Claude Code can use this skill to accelerate feature development, enforce architectural consistency, and bootstrap new modules with a single Python script.
Prerequisites
- Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated
- Android SDK and Gradle installed locally
- Kotlin development environment (Android Studio or command-line tools)
- Python 3 installed (for the feature module generator script)
- Git installed to clone the skill repository
Clone the skill repository
Clone the claude-android-skill repository to a location where Claude Code can access it.
git clone https://github.com/dpconde/claude-android-skill.gitPlace the skill in your Claude Code skills directory
Copy or symlink the skill files into your project's .claude/skills/ directory so Claude Code can load the skill context automatically.
mkdir -p .claude/skills/android
cp -r claude-android-skill/* .claude/skills/android/Verify the skill is recognized
Start a Claude Code session in your Android project directory and ask Claude to confirm it has the Android architecture guidelines loaded.
claude
# Then ask: "What Android architecture patterns do you have guidance on?"Use the feature module generator script
Generate a complete Android feature module with navigation contracts, ViewModels, Compose screens, and Gradle configuration using the provided Python script.
python scripts/generate_feature.py settings \
--package com.example.myapp \
--path /path/to/your/android/projectStart building with architecture-aware prompts
With the skill loaded, Claude will apply Clean Architecture patterns, Hilt DI, and Jetpack Compose conventions automatically when you request Android code.
Android Development Examples
Client configuration
There is no MCP server config for this skill — it operates as a Claude Code skill loaded from the .claude/skills/ directory in your project.
{
"mcpServers": {}
}
// This skill works via Claude Code's skills system, not as an MCP server.
// Place skill files in .claude/skills/android/ within your Android project.Prompts to try
Example prompts to leverage the Android skill's architecture and code generation capabilities inside a Claude Code session.
- "Build a Compose screen for user profile settings with MVVM pattern and Hilt injection."
- "Set up a Repository with offline-first architecture using Room and a remote API."
- "Configure a multi-module Gradle setup with shared convention plugins for a feature module."
- "Generate unit tests for my UserRepository using a fake data source as test double."
- "Create a Hilt module that provides a Retrofit instance scoped to the application."Troubleshooting Android Development
Claude does not apply Android architecture patterns even with the skill installed
Ensure the skill files are placed in .claude/skills/android/ relative to the root of your Android project, and that you are running Claude Code from within that project directory. The skill is loaded per-project.
The generate_feature.py script fails with 'package not found' or path errors
Provide the --path argument as an absolute path to your Android project root, and ensure the --package value matches your actual application ID in build.gradle. Python 3 is required; run with python3 explicitly if needed.
Generated code does not compile due to missing Hilt or Compose dependencies
The skill assumes standard Now in Android dependencies are declared in your version catalog. Add hilt-android, hilt-compiler, compose-bom, and compose-ui to your libs.versions.toml before using generated module code.
