Feature
Test on real devices with Android Device Streaming
Android Device Streaming lets you run apps on real devices, directly from Android Studio, to help you make sure your app works great across different screen sizes, OEMs, and Android versions.
Product
Key features
Design, develop, build, test, and publish with tooling that stays aligned from first layout ideas through store ready bundles.
Design
Compose design tools
Create dynamic layouts with Jetpack Compose. Then preview your layouts on any screen size and inspect Compose animations using the built-in inspection tools.
Develop
Intelligent code editor
Write better code, work faster, and be more productive with an intelligent code editor that provides code completion for Kotlin, Java, and C/C++ programming languages. Moreover, when editing Jetpack Compose you can see your code changes reflected immediately with Live Edit.
Build
Flexible build system
Powered by Gradle, Android Studio's build system lets you customize your build to generate multiple build variants for different Android devices from a single project. Then analyze the performance of your builds and understand where potential build issues exist in your project with the Build Analyzer.
Test
Easily emulate any device
The Android Emulator lets you to test your application on a variety of Android devices. Unlock the full potential of your apps by using responsive layouts that adapt to fit phones, tablets, foldables, Wear OS, TV and ChromeOS devices.
Publish
Android App Bundle
Find opportunities to optimize your Android app size before publishing by inspecting the contents of your app APK file or Android App Bundle. Inspect the manifest file, resources, and DEX files. Compare two APKs or Android App Bundles to see how your app size changed between app versions.
Why teams choose it
Why teams standardize on Android Studio
From indie apps to large product teams, Android Studio is built to keep you in flow: fewer context switches, clearer diagnostics, and tooling that understands Android modules, resources, and build variants.
A
Productive editing
Navigate large codebases with search everywhere, call hierarchies, and structured replace that respects Kotlin and Java semantics.
B
Build insight
Gradle sync issues surface with actionable messages, dependency graphs help you audit libraries, and build scans clarify bottlenecks.
C
Quality at runtime
Profile jank, leaks, and excessive wakeups with tools tuned for Android runtime behavior, not generic desktop assumptions.
