With Live Updates enabled, any change is then also directly streamed to the device. In Android Studio, developers can now use Compose Preview to create previews of different configurations (think themes and devices) or deploy a preview directly to a device, all while the layout inspector makes it easier for developers to understand how (and why) a layout is rendered the way it is. While there is a lot that’s new in Arctic Fox, maybe the marquee feature of this update is the integration of Jetpack Compose, Google’s toolkit for building modern user interfaces for Android. For the most part, the idea here is to bring more of the tooling around building Android apps directly into the IDE. This news came by way of another announcement, a new Google site called v, which as you can likely guess, is about development on Chromebooks.ĭevelopers could already code their Android apps on a Chromebook and even deploy them to a connected phone or tablet, or within the Android container of Chrome OS.At its I/O developer conference, Google today announced the first beta of the next version of its Android Studio IDE, Arctic Fox. With the Android Emulator support in Chrome OS, developers can optimize for different Android versions and devices - including tablets and foldable smartphones - right from their Chromebook. Android app developers can simulate map locations and other sensor data to test how an app performs with various motions, orientations, and environmental conditions. Supported Chromebooks can now run a full version of the Android Emulator, which allows developers to test apps on any Android version and device without needing the actual hardware. Google announced support for the Android Emulator with Android Studio on certain Chromebooks, with more to follow:
The addition of Linux support opened the doors for Android Studio with some limitations and now perhaps the biggest one is gone.
Slowly but surely, Chromebooks have been turning into a first-class option for developers and some computer science majors.
