Android Studio for Experts
summary
A rapid demo-driven tour of Android Studio surfaces concrete tricks and new tools: editor shortcuts like Ctrl‑Shift‑Space and AST selection, live templates and logging snippets, structural search → quickfix that removes unwanted XML attributes across a project, and design‑time tools for previewing layouts. Debugging adds Evaluate Expression, custom renderers and conditional breakpoints that log without suspending. Build tools cover importing .aar, Gradle task run configs, experimental enable all test artifacts, NDK/Debug improvements, a GPU profiler and monitors that expose issues (65,000 allocations on one thread; seven MainActivity instances with six leaked) and heap analysis to find and fix them.
