Android Studio 2.3.2

AVD Manager updates to support Google Play in system images.

Bug fixes for NDK builds when using R14+ of the NDK.

Emulator 26.0.2

Google Play UI: There is a new tab in the extended window only for Google Play store images, which displays the Play services version and a button to check for Play services update.

Fixed an issue where the emulator would take 300% CPU and hold it after resuming the host computer from sleep (or emulator otherwise running for a long time).

Added a dropdown to select OpenGL renderer in the Emulator Settings page. If you are having OpenGL driver issues and are on Windows, try out the ANGLE (D3D11) or ANGLE (D3D9) options (requires restart). If you are having OpenGL driver issues but are not on Windows, try out the Swiftshader software renderer (requires restart).

Android 7.0 (Nougat) / API 24 Google Play Intel x86 Atom System Image

We are promoting this build from Canary and Dev channels to the Beta channel.

Note: System images with Google Play currently only work with AVDs targeting Nexus 5 and 5X. You can see this called out in Android Studio's 2.3.2+ AVD Manager Play Store Column.

Whats New Build

Java 8 language features support. This preview release introduces built-in support for Java 8 libraries and certain Java 8 language features. Jack is no longer required, and you should first disable Jack to use the improved Java 8 support built into the default toolchain. For more information see how to use Java 8 language features.

Deploy and Test

The Google Play store app is now included in Android 7.0 (API 24) emulator system images. You will need to create a new Android Virtual Devices and select a hardware device configuration compatible with the Google Play Store.

Note: Compatible devices are denoted by the new Play Store column Fixes

We continue to fix issues as they are reported, triaged, and prioritized by our development teams. Please continue to file feedback with reproducible steps as we work to reach a beta quality build.

Known Issues

After updating the Android plugin version, you need to stop the Gradle daemon to apply the update (Issue 267099). Otherwise, Gradle sync and builds fail with the following error: Could not initialize class com.android.ide.common.util.ReadWriteProcessLock, Failed to notify build listener, or java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError.

To stop the daemon, you can either restart Android Studio, or enter the following command in the IDE's Terminal window: ./gradlew --stop. Gradle restarts the daemon for you the next time you sync or build your project.
