Android Studio 3.3 Canary 9 available

Android Studio 3.3 Canary 9 is now available in the Canary and Dev channels.

If you have Android Studio set to receive updates 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 the following new features and changes in behavior:

• IntelliJ IDEA 2018.2.2: The core Android Studio IDE has been updated with improvements from IntelliJ IDEA through the 2018.2.2 release.
• When you change the width or height of a view in the Layout Editor without specifying a unit, Android Studio now appends a default dp unit value in both the Layout Editor and the corresponding XML.
• Gradle now copies extracted ProGuard rules to the local project build directory instead of the root project build directory. This ensures that tasks from different projects do not share the same output directory, which can lead to Gradle synchronization issues.

This update includes fixes for several bugs, including the following:

• gradlew clean command was occasionally failing.
• Android Studio wasn't correctly reporting some of the possible values for android:fontFamily.
• Layout Editor Preview window wasn't scaling images properly.
