15:45 This is phenomenal! I had wished for this since forever but never thought it could/would be actually implemented! Congrats to all of you!

[@Skaldebane]

Yeah! I've been using scrcpy for this, but having it built-in is definitely much better!

[@AmitJayant]

Cannot find this at all in stable, beta and even the canary builds.

[@Skaldebane]

​@@AmitJayant It's available for me in the latest Canary. You need to enable it in experimental settings though. I also came back to this video today to check again, until I found that it's disabled by default. And yeah, it's still pretty experimental. Works for me on an Android 11 device, but fails on Android 9. But I'm sure it'll get better before official release.

[@AmitJayant]

@@Skaldebane Yes found it. Thanks

[@Jerry-of9zj]

does android 10 can't use this feature?

[@Daaaaaaavid]

Each year "What's new in Android development tools" is my favorite video :)

[@seannajera1265]

Built in gradle support for setting up android emulation before running tests is AMAZING 🤩

[@AndroidDevelopers]

Thanks for your support, Sean! We're happy that you've enjoyed the update! 🙂

[@arunpadyan]

22:00 mind blown

[@milanjovic8325]

I must say, you never cease to amaze me

[@AmitJayant]

What's the font used in main IDE and the Editor?

[@virtananton]

What theme are you using, Tor Norbye?

[@oguzhanaslan494]

sky is the limit ! great work.

[@AndroidDevelopers]

Thanks for the kind feedback, Oğuzhan! Keep an eye on the latest Android Studio Preview release here: goo.gle/3LK57j7 🙌

00:14:04 ... i already have a config for the logcat colors, how do i maintain the custom colors when using the last version? i remember the colors are exported in a config file from the android studio :S

[@JOHNMICHAELLOBO-r8d]

10:34 "prof", "profm" extension files cannot be viewed like a video. Do I need to configure some settings to view the file? I explicitly set some extensions for "prof" and "profm", but the binary file is not interpreted normally. I tried it in "Android Studio Dolphin | 2021.3.1 Beta 5" and the extension is unknown, so the file has a "?" icon is attached. The apk generated by the release build from the project provided in the "baseline profile code lab" is also the same. Baseline.prof is created normally, but the contents of the file cannot be seen. So sad.. Does anyone know?

[@cashbonanza963]

the new emulator doesn't support touch gestures on windows touch screen laptops. the previous version did, and the latest intellij IDEA still does. Bring it back please.

[@kalidsherefuddin]

Thanks

[@daimonkor]

Wow, amazing work

[@TheBlackManMythLegend]

Canary or Beta?

[@AmitJayant]

Where to enable the running devices thingy shown at 15:45

[@Skaldebane]

Experimental Settings

[@AmitJayant]

@@Skaldebane Found it. Thanks

[@AndroidDevelopers]

Great question, Amit! Please see the following documentation on how to enable the Android Emulator: goo.gle/3ySzz5Q

[@5erTurbo]

Liking the new features, keep at it! Random thoughts: - 1:25 I like how you put dark IDE on light background, just to kill my eyes, thanks - 5:44 Nah, fully qualified R imports are not an option. Thanks anyway. - 7:30 You don't have constants for "systemImageSource"?

[@gi1dor]

I think non-namepaced R files will be eventually deprecated. It was bad decision to have R files merging at the first place (in single-module projects world) Even without depreciation you really want it if worrying about build speed

[@need5868]

hello , I'm beginner developer,

[@gofudgeyourselves9024]

Does google even use android studio internally for their own apps? How come they don't face this kind of issues.
