If you want to dive deeper into your Layouts, we added Compose support to the Layout Inspector to help you understand how your layouts are rendered. The Deploy Preview to device feature enables deploying snippets of your Compose code directly to a device or emulator so you can quickly test small parts of your code.

Compose Preview lets you create previews of multiple components of your Compose UI to instantly see the impact of your changes across dimensions (such as themes, screen and font sizes, and more). To support rapid design of modern UI, we added additional features for Jetpack Compose. We will be using code names (in alphabetical order) the first is Arctic Fox and the next is Bumblebee (currently in canary).Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) updates Android Studio to version 2020.3 of the IntelliJ platform which adds a slew of new features including debugger interactive hints, VCS updates, and several new code editor enhancements to speed up your workflow. Note: As we announced last year, we adjusted our version numbering of Android Studio to match the year and version of the IntelliJ IDEA that Android Studio is based on, plus our own patch number. We used your feedback to create this suite of new Android Studio features that will help empower the developer community to create high quality, modern apps across devices faster! The release also focuses on devices, including Wear OS, and helps with developer productivity, with features like a new Background Task Manager.

This latest release brings to life Jetpack Compose 1.0, Android's new toolkit for building native UI.

We are excited to announce that Android Studio Arctic Fox is now available to download in the stable release channel. Posted by Amanda Alexander, Product Manager, Android
