Android Studio Narwhal RC2 Improves Code Navigation and Documentation We're happy to announce that a fix for a recent navigation issue is now available in Android Studio Narwhal RC2 (2025.1.1 RC 2). Some developers may have noticed that in recent Narwhal builds, trying to navigate to the source code of library classes would incorrectly lead to a compiled file. Additionally, hover-documentation for these classes was not being displayed correctly. This has been resolved in our latest Release Candidate. You can now expect code navigation and documentation to work smoothly, just as they did in previous versions. We recommend updating to the latest version to ensure the best development experience. Thank you for your feedback and bug reports that helped us resolve this quickly! Download Narwhal RC2
