Android Studio integrates live accessibility checks via the ATF library in the Layout Editor, while Layout Validation adds locale presets and rare-device previews and the Layout Inspector now shows Compose and view-system UI side-by-side including animated vector playback. ConstraintLayout 2.0 brings MotionLayout; ConstraintLayout 2.1 adds carousel, motion effect, motion label, and a foldable reactive guide with runtime injection. A constraintlayout‑compose 1.0 ports constraints to Compose and the preview gains live literals, sample-data injection and an animation inspector for interactive tuning.
