In order to improve the experience of Android developers, Google updates Android Studio very frequently. Usually, these are no more than minor enhancements and bug fixes. However, in early April 2016, Android Studio’s version number jumped from 1.5 to 2.0. This was a major update, and with it came a lot of brand-new features and under-the-hood optimizations.
If you are an experienced user of Android Studio who’s recently switched from build 1.5 to build 2.x, you might still be feeling a little lost trying to use all its new features. In this Coffee Break Course, Envato Tuts+ instructor Ashraff Hathibelagal shows you how to configure and use all the major features new to Android Studio builds 2.0 and 2.1. You’ll learn how to reduce build times using instant run, how to run tests on Google’s Cloud Test Lab, how to use the new Android emulator, and lots more.
