Android Studio 3.2 Canary 18 is now available in the Canary and Dev channels.

If you already have an Android Studio build on the Canary or Dev channel, you can get the update by choosing Help > Check for Updates (Android Studio > Check for Updates on Mac). Otherwise, you can download it here.

This update includes fixes for the following bugs:
  • Inclusion of a test library dependency caused the Navigation Editor to block waiting for build completion.
  • The debugger crashed when debugging a layout with a text box.
  • OnePixelDivider had a myDisposable instance that was not cleared when the instance was disposed.
  • The default .gitignore didn't ignore .idea/caches/build_file_checksums.ser.
  • Some lint warnings were not suppressed when tools:ignore was used.
  • Android Studio crashed during fragment transitions when using profilers.
  • Android Studio failed to download SDK packages on macOS after the default language was changed from English to Hindi.


In addition to the bug fixes mentioned above, the lint checker has been improved to no longer report several categories of false positives.
For information on new features and changes in previous Canary builds, see the Android Studio Preview release notes.
