What's New in Android Studio
summary
Android Studio 2.0 focuses on concrete speedups: the dx merger becomes linear and ships in Build Tools 23.0.2, dx now runs in-process with Gradle ≥2.4 and plugin 2.8/2.9 for big build-time wins, and an experimental shrinker enables pre-dexing to cut incremental builds roughly twofold. Deployment uses Instant Run hot/warm/cold swap (IDE-driven only) to avoid full reinstalls. The emulator adds multi-core CPU, wider OpenGL ES support, faster I/O—demo shows 45 seconds to install 45MB app vs ~300s previously—and adds GPX/KML, fingerprint and drag‑and‑drop media.
