3. Android Studio 1.0 By Android,Google
• Today we are excited to introduce Android Studio 1.0.
Android Studio is the official Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) from the Android team.
• It is built on the popular IntelliJ IDEA (Community Edition)
Java IDE.
• We first released a preview of Android Studio at I/O last
year.
• We value the on-going feedback from you, thanks! We are
making Android Studio 1.0 available for download as a
stable release on the Android Developer site.

4. Download Android Studio
• If you are currently developing for Android or thinking
about getting started, now is the time to download Android
Studio 1.0 (or upgrade if you are using an earlier version).
• Similar to the Chrome release channels, Android Studio will
continue to receive updates on four different release
channels: Stable, Beta, Dev, and Canary.
• Canary builds are at the bleeding edge of development,
while the stable release is fully tested.
• With this range of release channels you can choose how
quickly you want to get the latest features for Android
Studio.

5. • First-run setup wizard — The getting started experience now
installs the right Android SDK, sets up your development
environment settings, and creates an optimized emulator for
testing your app.
• Plus, we include a set of code templates to help you get
started.

new project templates or import Google code samples.

Code Editing — Android Studio takes advantage of all the intelligent code editing capabilities of
IntelliJ IDEA such as advanced code completion, refactoring, and code analysis.

10. Performance analysis

11. Unified build system
• Android Studio uses a Gradle-based build system that
provides a lot of flexibility and extensibility, as well as
the ability to build from within and outside of the IDE.
• This unified build system decouples the build from
Studio itself, meaning that Studio updates never
impact the output of your build.
• Some of the key features of the build systems are: build
variant support to better handle different build types
(debug vs. release), or different versions of the same
app (paid vs. free), multi-apks handling through splits,
multi-dex support, and dependency management for
3rd party libraries.

12. Instant access to Google Cloud Services
Android Studio even enables an easy way to add Google Cloud Backends & Endpoints
to your app, as well as Google Cloud Messaging (find out more).

14. Upgrade
• If you were using one of the early versions of
Android Studio, you should also upgrade to
version 1.0 since we have added a host of new
features and have addressed many bugs.
• We have also released version 1.0 of the Gradle
plugin with a file format that is now stable. The
communication between Android Studio and the
Gradle plugin is now stable, so updating one will
not require updating the other. Check
thetechnical release notes for additional tips for
updating your previous Android Studio projects.
