A widely-known tool for developing Android applications,Android Studio 3.5 - New Improvements & Additions Articles Android Studio is used much by Android developers. Still, it holds typical flaws and gives birth to some issues for the developers. It performs much slow and also doesn’t fit with the low-end Android devices. Acknowledging all such problems, Google emerged with a way out and tagged it, Project Marble. It initiated the drive last November in 2018 and embraced all the alterations in the Android Studio’s 3.5 version. 

Well, the latest version has fixed some of the current issues and has led to a seamless experience. It targeted massively on solving the memory issues, enhanced the speed, and applied changes and support of Chrome OS. Google has offered 8 months to act on user feedback to solve what was not right to date. The main target of this update was to resolve the errors in spite of rolling out the new features. 

They targeted on enhancing the quality to pace up the daily development by targeting three igniting factors: feature polish, bugs, and system health. To enable Android Studio to perform the best, Google has appended chiefly a fully new set of infrastructure taking along the internal dashboard to allocate the recent issues more efficiently. This was crafted as a safety net to check-out all those errors that were otherwise impossible to attain the general unit testing. 

This safety net performed as decided and was holding the caliber to detect the bugs, IDE hangs, and memory leaks and fixed them. Moreover, with the up-gradation of Android Studio 3.5, Kotlin and XML typing latency has been enhanced. Google has also tried hard to lower down the memory and CPU impact for the Android Emulator on the development machine. 

Though the main target was to improve the speed, memory, and performance, Google has also updated the polishing and fixed the fundamental user-facing functionalities. Google has also analyzed the whole process of the application launch to the device and has also renovated the complete architecture. Additionally, it has also replaced the immediate run with the apply changes to increased reliability and enhanced trust. 

With the Apply changes, the developer is not needed to alter an APK at the time of the Android application development. In spite of that, they will be required to use the runtime instrumentation to set the classes on one go. It now enables the developer to edit the code at a faster pace and check out the alterations on a quick basis with Android Studio 3.5. 

The following is the list of significant alteration in the newest version of Android Studio:

 

  • Auto Recommended Memory Settings

With the functionalities of the latest version, the app’s IDE will know when the project requires more RAM capacity and recommend the mobile application developer to enhance the memory size. The next pick is to maintain the settings in Appearance and behaviour under the memory settings. 

  •  UI Freezes

XML typing has put-on much improvement. Furthermore, in XML data binding editing is speedier as compared to the past on the basis of tying latency improvement. 

 

  • System HEalth

More improvements in the system health of the Project Marble was all about the developed speed, memory preference, CPU usage, UI freeze, and typing, and I/O performance. For all such enhancement, Google crafted innovative options to locate the issues while the development stage is in continuation and an altered process to estimate feedback from the filed bugs and opt-in analysis aspects.

 

  • Build Speed

The latest update has embraced the assistance for the incremental build to the top annotation processors with Realm, Dagger, Glide, Kotlin, and AndroidX data binding. The update of the incremental build can throw an imperative impression on the build speed. 

 

  • Access Speed of IO File/Disk

The anti-virus scanner’s default setting includes the build output folder for the window users. Now, the latest version of Android Studio detects it and leads the developers for the optimal setup.
