Android Studio: Tips and tricks
summary
Shows concrete Android Studio 3.5 Beta workflows: use the Profiler to catch memory leaks (allocation tracking + GC) and the Energy Profiler to see CPU/network/GPS and WorkManager jobs, organize multi-module Gradle via a shared libs map, and check up‑to‑date builds to find flaky tasks (don’t use new Date in BuildConfig). Live demos include keyboard navigation, Smart Type Completion, refactorings and post‑fix templates, the Navigation/Layout/Resource editors with sample data and drag‑drop, and the new Apply Changes flow that deploys resource or code diffs and supports dropping frames to continue.
