Android Studio 2.0 brings new features.


In 2013, Google launched an official integrated development environment (IDE) called Android Studio to make app development for its mobile platform faster and more visual. That must have worked, as the Play Store is now bulging with nearly 1.6 million apps, the most of any store. However, it's long overdue for an overhaul, so the search giant has launched Android Studio 2.0 with plenty of new speed and productivity features.

The most prominent addition is Instant Run, something the company has been refining in previews over the last year. When you change your code, you can instantly see how it affects the running app, with no need to re-compile or reinstall the APK. That should "accelerate your edit, build and run cycles," according to Google.

New Features:
The Cloud Test Lab – You can push out your app to physical testing devices at Google.
App Indexing API – The Google App Indexing service can help you tag URLs to your apps.
GPU Debugger Preview – With frame-by-frame render and debug inspection.
