Google has launched the second official incarnation of the Android Studio \u2013 its one-stop platform for building a mobile app.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The updates were announced at the Android Developer Summit on Monday by group product manager Stephanie Cuthbertson, who says it is a \u201cgigantic release\u201d, as Tech Crunch<\/i> reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The all-in-one platform includes a code editor, analysis tools and emulators for all the platforms \u2013 everything you need to build an Android app.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are a number of new and improved features in the second version for all the budding developers out there.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. <\/b>It\u2019s all about speed<\/b> <\/p>\n

    <\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    According to Google, the Android Studio 2.0 is all about speed.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u201cOne of the most requested features we receive is to make app builds and deployment faster,\u201d Cuthbertson says.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    So now the development process is 2 to 2.5 times faster than before with the new studio featuring \u201cmassively accelerated build speeds\u201d.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u201cFor the integrated development environment to be delightful, it doesn\u2019t just have to be stable \u2013 but amazingly stable,\u201d Cuthbertson says.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    2. <\/b>You can see your changes in real-time<\/b> <\/p>\n

      <\/ol>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      With the updates, there will be a new \u2018instant run\u2019 feature that allows developers to immediately see what changes in code have done to the final product.<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Google says this is about mirroring the process of writing html, where you can simply reload the browser to see if the changes have had their intended effect.<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      According to Cuthbertson, this was a common problem faced by Android programmers.<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      \u201cWe listened to you guys and the truth was you were right,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      \u201cIn order to iterate you need to quickly see how the app looks. Every minute you\u2019re sitting around waiting, that\u2019s a minute wasted.\u201d<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      3. <\/b>It\u2019s easier to find out what you messed up<\/b> <\/p>\n

        <\/ol>\n

        \u00a0<\/p>\n

        The new GPU Profiler has been implemented to try to help out with identifying performance problems and inefficiencies in the code.<\/p>\n

        \u00a0<\/p>\n

        \u201cOne of the big problems with graphics-intensive development is you\u2019ll see a scene and you get a problem, and you\u2019re not really sure exactly what caused it,\u201d Cuthbertson says.<\/p>\n

        \u00a0<\/p>\n

        \u201cSo one of the things you\u2019ll find in the GPU Profiler is you\u2019re able to record and reply the entire GPU stream frame-by-frame.\u201d<\/p>\n

        \u00a0<\/p>\n

        4. <\/b>There are new emulators<\/b> <\/p>\n

          <\/ol>\n

          \u00a0<\/p>\n

          The ecosystem of Android devices is vast, and as Tech Crunch<\/i> reports, trying to emulate apps on each of the various platforms has long been a pain point for developers.<\/p>\n

          \u00a0<\/p>\n

          The new emulators with this update claim to be faster than any of the other services, meaning you can now quickly see what your app would look like on the whole gamut of Android products.<\/p>\n

          \u00a0<\/p>\n

          5. <\/b>There\u2019s more to come<\/b> <\/p>\n

            <\/ol>\n

            \u00a0<\/p>\n

            This marks the fifth major release of the Android Studio since its launch out of beta last year, and Cuthbertson says this \u201ctremendous momentum\u201d will only continue.<\/p>\n

            \u00a0<\/p>\n

            The Android Studio 2.0 is now available on the Android Studio canary channel, which is being used to sniff out any bugs or issues.<\/p>\n

            \u00a0<\/p>\n

            It will then be officially rolled out widely in early next year.<\/p>\n

            \u00a0<\/p>\n
