PSA: Android Studio 1.5 now available in the stable channel
Android Studio 1.0
Last week we told you that Android Studio 1.5 became available in the beta release channel, and now Google has announced that it’s being pushed out to everyone. This release is “focused on delivering more stability,” Google says. Most of the upgrades here are under the hood.
Here’s a rundown of some of the bug fixes in this version:
- You can now use short names when code-completing custom views
- New memory profiler feature: detect some of the most known causes of leaked activities
- Several new lint checks
You can check for updates within the app, or head over to the Android Studio site to grab a fresh version if you need it. Android Studio comes with the Studio IDE, the SDK tools, and the Android 6.0 platform and emulator.
