Android Studio 3.4 Canary 6 available


Android Studio 3.4 Canary 6 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.

With this update, the minimum version for Butterknife is now 9.0.0-rc2.

This update includes fixes for several bugs, including the following:
  • Gradle was passing the databinding JAR two or more time to R8, causing APK builds to fail with a TransformException.
  • The classpath was computed in a way that included library artifacts more than once.
  • The Kotlin plugin was throwing databinding exceptions.
  • The layout editor would not zoom in if the device size was 10% or smaller.
  • Lint would generate StaticFieldLeak warnings even when using the application context.
