Google has released the 3.2 Beta version of its Android Studio which is available for download. Previewed at Google I/O 2018, the latest release of the official Android IDE is focused on helping onboard you to all the new features launched around Google I/O - Android JetPack, Android P Developer Preview, and the new Android App Bundle format. There are also several other new features included in Android Studio 3.2 to accelerate your app development, such as Emulator Snapshots and the Energy Profiler.
With the new update, Google claims to have sorted out glitches with memory leaks and performance issues along with other 450 bugs.
What is inside of Android Studio 3.2
Building on the canary release of Android Studio 3.2, the Beta release includes:
Android App Bundle support - The Android App Bundle is a new publishing format that uses the Google Play's Dynamic Delivery, which delivers a smaller, optimized APK that only contains the resources needed for a specific device. Without any code changes, you can take advantage of the app size savings of an Android App Bundle by navigating to Build → Build Bundle / APK or Build → Generate Signed Bundle / APK.
Emulator Snapshots - With Android Studio 3.2 you can create snapshots at any emulator state and then start a snapshot in under 2 seconds. You can pre-configure an Android Virtual Device (AVD) snapshot with the apps, data and settings that you want and then repeatedly go back to the same snapshot.
Energy Profiler - The new Energy Profiler in the performance profiler suite can help you understand the energy impact of your app on an Android device. You can now visualize the estimated energy usage of system components, plus inspect background events that may contribute to battery drain.
