Emulator 27.2.1 canary
Friday, March 16, 2018
Emulator 27.2.1 is now available in the Canary channel for Windows, Mac, and Linux,
bringing the fixes and enhancements from 27.2.0 to Windows
.
Emulator hang fix
We addressed a major source of emulator hangs on Windows by fixing an issue in QEMU 2.9. If you are still experiencing emulator hangs, please file an issue to
Issuetracker
. We are actively investigating emulator hangs and are making this a priority.
Screen recording enhancement
Audio encoding for screen recording has been moved off of the QEMU main loop to a separate thread to increase reliability and performance.
Other changes:
Fixed a crash on saving recorded video from screen recording.
Fixed an issue in which the VirtualScene camera's controls could steal focus too frequently on Xfce, and the mouse pointer could flicker.
Telephone and SMS are now properly deactivated when airplane mode is on.
Mac: Emulator window now properly shows a drop shadow when frameless mode is disabled.
To address issues caused by not having enough free disk space for snapshots, the emulator now checks for sufficient free disk space on startup, and will not start unless at least 2 GB is free.
Android Studio 3.2 Canary 6 now available
Monday, March 12, 2018
Android Studio 3.2 Canary 6 is now available in the Canary and Dev channels.
New Code Shrinker
R8 is a new tool for code shrinking and obfuscation that replaces ProGuard. You can start using the preview version of R8 by including the following in your project’s
gradle.properties
file:
android.enableR8 = true
Changed default ABIs for multi-APKs
When
building multiple APKs
that each target a different ABI, Android plugin for Gradle 3.2.0-alpha5 and higher no longer generate APKs for the following ABIs by default:
mips
,
mips64
, and
armeabi
.
If you are using NDK r16b or lower and you want to continue to build APKs for those ABIs, you need to include them explicitly in your app’s
build.gradle
file, as follows:
splits {
abi {
include
'armeabi', 'mips', 'mips64'
...
}
}
NDK r17 users
: If you are using
NDK r17 beta 1
or higher, you can no longer build APKs for
mips
,
mips64
, or
armeabi
using Android plugin for Gradle 3.2.0-alpha5 or higher.
General bug fixes
This update includes fixes for the following public issues:
Issue#67035929

Issue#73873828
: False positive test with a misconfigured test layout xml
Issue#73747114
: Incorrect warning for VisibleForTesting using kotlin's file scope

Friday, March 9, 2018
Emulator 27.2.0 is now available in the Canary channel for Mac and Linux. (Windows coming soon.)

Many ADB zombie processes could get spawned by the emulator when ADB versions mismatched. (
issue 73094692

Multiple webcams were not supported on Mac. Now webcam0 and webcam1 can be used together.

button added to Settings page, allowing loading of a Quick Boot snapshot without requiring a restart of the emulator.
