Google Chrome will obviously not be supported either. Additionally, the tech giant has taken this initiative to improve the overall security of their customers. Android devices that are running on decade old software have zero security. This makes such users very easy to target during data breaches. Moreover, if the devices do not come with Android 3.
However, that should not be difficult at all as there are tons of budget friendly devices that run on top-of-the-line software and at least Android 9 these days. Tech News. Write a Comment! Featured Videos. Thinking to buy iPhone 12? Well, I would be happy to tell you that this is the perfect time to buy iPhone. We all know that the annual Flipkart and Amazon sale is going to start in just a few hours.
This list has everything there is to know about the Gingerbread upgrade, broken down by device. It'll be updated regularly as new info becomes available, so you can always check in to get the latest info on your phone's status. Want a more detailed look at Android 2.
And when you're ready for a real eye-opener, be sure to check out my in-depth report: Android upgrades: Which manufacturers can you trust? Head over to my new Android 4. The update is being sent in waves and may take a few weeks to reach all users.
Well, sort of. The upgrade comes with some major caveats: HTC says the upgrade is recommended only "for expert users who want to experience Android 2. HTC goes on to state that the upgrade is "for development only and not for general public use" and that "certain functions may no longer be usable" after installation, "including but not limited to MMS and SMS. If you still want to take the plunge, you can find the download at developer.
Vodafone also started rolling out the upgrade to its users on July Shortly thereafter, though, Verizon suspended the rollout due to a voicemail notification error being experienced by some users. On November 15, Verizon started pushing a new version of Gingerbread to the Incredible; if past upgrades are any indication, it should reach all users within a matter of days. The rollout is being sent in waves, so it may take some time to reach all users.
The upgrade can be manually downloaded via the phone's settings menu; Sprint started pushing it out to users in waves on June 6. You can manually retrieve the software by selecting the "HTC Software Update" in the "System Updates" section of your phone's settings menu.
If you don't want to start the download yourself, Sprint is also pushing the upgrade out over-the-air to users as of Monday, June The update will be sent in waves, meaning only a subset of users will get it each day and it may take several weeks to reach everyone.
HTC had originally said the phone would receive the upgrade sometime within the second quarter of the year. In early May, the company announced a wider rollout for customers across Europe. Cellular released the Android 2. The upgrade must be installed manually from U. That initial limited rollout began on July In early July , meanwhile, Vodafone made the software available to Nexus One owners using its network. Soon thereafter, however, the companies suspended the update due to a voicemail glitch that was reported by some users.
The update resumed in late October and is now being sent out to users in waves. Following some reports of bricked phones resulting from the upgrade, however, the carrier suspended its efforts soon thereafter. On August 10, Sprint resumed the upgrade, saying it had "addressed" the issues and expected to have fully functioning software delivered to all Echo users within a few weeks. For more information, see the AndroidX overview.
If you have any Maven dependencies that have not migrated to the AndroidX namespace, the Android Studio build system also automatically converts those project dependencies.
The Android Gradle plugin provides the following global flags that you can set in your gradle. Both flags are set to true when you use the Migrate to AndroidX command.
If you want to start using AndroidX libraries immediately and don't need to convert existing third-party libraries, you can set the android. You no longer need to build, sign, and manage multiple APKs, and users get smaller, more optimized downloads. Additionally, you can add feature modules to your app project and include them in your app bundle.
For more information, including instructions for building and analyzing an Android App Bundle, see Android App Bundle. Many Android layouts have runtime data that can make it difficult to visualize the look and feel of a layout during the design stage of app development.
You can now easily see a preview of your view in the Layout Editor filled with sample data. When you add a view, a button appears below the view in the Design window. Click this button to set the design-time view attributes. You can choose from a variety of sample data templates and specify the number of sample items with which to populate the view.
To try using sample data, add a RecyclerView to a new layout, click the design-time attributes button below the view, and choose a selection from the carousel of sample data templates.
Slices provide a new way to embed portions of your app's functionality in other user interface surfaces on Android. For example, Slices make it possible to show app functionality and content in Google Search suggestions. To learn more, including how to test your Slice interactions, read the Slices getting started guide.
For more information, see the Android Developers blog. Try the following new Android Profiler features in Android Studio 3. You can now save Profiler data as sessions to revisit and inspect later. The profiler keeps your session data until you restart the IDE. When you record a method trace or capture a heap dump , the IDE adds that data along with your app's network activity as a separate entry to the current session, and you can easily switch back and forth between recordings to compare data.
This trace configuration is built on systrace and is useful for investigating system-level issues, such as UI jank. If you deploy your app to a device running Android 8.
While your app is running, select a portion of the timeline that you want to inspect and select JNI heap from the drop-down menu above the class list, as shown below. You can then inspect objects in the heap as you normally would and double-click objects in the Allocation Call Stack tab to see where the JNI references are allocated and released in your code.
You can now import, export, and inspect. Import your. You can then inspect its data in the Memory Profiler as you would any other heap dump. To save heap dump data to review later, use the Export Heap Dump button at the right of the Heap Dump entry in the Sessions pane. In the Export As dialog that appears, save the file with the.
You can now import and inspect. Currently, you can't import System Trace recordings. You can then inspect its data in the CPU Profiler similar to how you normally would, with the following exceptions:. After you deploy your app to a device, the profiler automatically starts recording CPU activity when your app calls startMethodTracing String tracePath , and the profiler stops recording when your app calls stopMethodTracing.
The Energy Profiler displays a visualization of the estimated energy usage of your app, as well as system events that affect energy usage, such as wakelocks, alarms, and jobs.
The Energy Profiler appears as a new row at the bottom of the Profiler window when you run your app on a connected device or Android Emulator running Android 8. Click the Energy row to maximize the Energy Profiler view. Place your mouse pointer over a bar in the timeline to see a breakdown of energy use by CPU, network, and location GPS resources, as well as relevant system events. System events that affect energy usage are indicated in the System timeline below the Energy timeline.
Details of system events within the specified time range are shown in the event pane when you select a time range in the Energy timeline. To see the call stack and other details for a system event, such as a wakelock, select it in the event pane.
To go to the code responsible for a system event, double-click the entry in the call stack. The new lint checks help you to find and identify common code problems, ranging from warnings about potential usability issues to high-priority errors regarding potential security vulnerabilities. To make sure that your Java code interoperates well with your Kotlin code, new lint checks enforce the best practices described in the Kotlin Interop Guide. Examples of these checks include looking for the presence of Nullability annotations, use of Kotlin hard keywords, and placing lambda parameters last.
To enable these checks for command-line builds, add the following to your build. New lint checks for Slices help to ensure that you are constructing Slices correctly. For example, lint checks warn you if you have not assigned a primary action to a Slice. Use the new lintFix Gradle task to apply all of the safe fixes suggested by the lint check directly to the source code.
An example of a lint check that suggests a safe fix to apply is SyntheticAccessor. Various metadata, such as the service cast check, have been updated for lint checks to work with Android 9 API level Lint now records which variant and version a baseline is recorded with, and lint warns you if you run it on a different variant than the one with which the baseline was created. For example, the resource cycle checks now apply to additional resource types, and the translation detector can find missing translations on the fly, in the editor.
Issue IDs are now shown in more places now, including in the Inspection Results window. This makes it easier for you to find the information that you need to enable or disable specific checks through lintOptions in build.
For more information, see Configure lint options with Gradle. Data Binding V2 is now enabled by default and is compatible with V1. This means that, if you have library dependencies that you compiled with V1, you can use them with projects using Data Binding V2. However, note that projects using V1 cannot consume dependencies that were compiled with V2. R8 is a new tool for code shrinking and obfuscation that replaces ProGuard.
When using the Project window in previous versions of Android Studio, you could navigate and inspect only the header files that belong to libraries you build from a local project. Previous versions of Android Studio enabled native multidex when deploying the debug version of an app to a device running Android API level 21 or higher. Beginning with Android Studio 3. To use AAPT2, make sure that you have a google dependency in your build. Android Studio no longer passes the --configure-on-demand argument to Gradle.
The ADB Connection Assistant provides instructions, in-context controls, and a list of connected devices in a series of pages in the Assistant panel. You can now save and load snapshots of an AVD Android virtual device at any time in the Android Emulator, making it fast and easy to return an emulated device to a known state for testing. Controls for saving, loading, and managing AVD snapshots are now in the Snapshots tab in the emulator's Extended controls window.
Builds configured with source sets failed with the following message when Instant Run was enabled:. Build failures occurred during dexing in some projects with large numbers of modules or external dependencies, with the following error message:. This update also includes changes that make running lint checks from Gradle much faster in some scenarios.
In some cases, when a project created in Android Studio 3. The result was that projects did not build when the Run or Debug button was clicked, which in turn caused failures such as deployment of incorrect APKs and crashes when using Instant Run. To solve this problem, Android Studio 3. This modification occurs after the first Gradle sync when the project is loaded.
Improvements include better control flow analysis for collections and strings, improved nullability inference, new quick fixes, and much more. When you use the Room database library , you can take advantage of several improvements to SQL editing:. This update includes several improvements for data binding :. You can now use a LiveData object as an observable field in data binding expressions.
The ObservableField class can now accept other Observable objects in its constructor. You can preview a new incremental compiler for your data binding classes.
For details of this new compiler and instructions for enabling it, see Data Binding Compiler V2. Libraries keep their generated binding classes when the app is compiled, rather than being regenerated each time.
This can greatly improve performance for multi-module projects. You don't need to make any changes to your code or your development workflow to get these benefits, unless you had previously manually disabled the D8 compiler. If you set android. For projects that use Java 8 language features , incremental desugaring is enabled by default, which can improve build times. Desugaring converts syntactic sugar into a form that the compiler can process more efficiently.
You can disable incremental desugaring by specifying the following in your project's gradle. For details about how to use the new, simplified Build window, see Monitor the build process.
The Gradle sync and IDE indexing processes are now much more efficient, reducing time wasted on many redundant indexing operations. Improvements include the following:. Sync time is also greatly reduced for large projects. Performance when building and syncing with CMake has been improved through more aggressive reuse of cached results.
Running lint from the command line now analyzes your Kotlin classes. For each project that you would like to run lint on, Google's Maven repository must be included in the top-level build. The Maven repository is already included for projects created in Android Studio 3. The CPU Profiler now includes a default configuration to record sampled traces of your app's native threads. You can use this configuration by deploying your app to a device running Android 8.
After that, record and inspect a trace as you normally would. You can change default settings, such as the sampling interval, by creating a recording configuration. To switch back to tracing your Java threads, select either a Sampled Java or Instrumented Java configuration. The CPU Profiler and Memory Profiler include a search feature that allows you to filter results from recording a method trace, memory allocations, or heap dump.
To search, click Filter in the top-right corner of the pane, type your query, and press Enter. In the CPU Profiler's Flame Chart tab, call stacks that include methods related to your search query are highlighted and moved to the left side of the chart. For more information on filtering by method, class, or package name, see Record and inspect method traces.
The Network Profiler now includes a Request tab that provides details about network requests during the selected timeline. In previous versions, the Network Profiler only provided information about network responses. After selecting a portion of the timeline in the Network Profiler , you can select one of the following tabs to see more detail about the network activity during that timeframe:.
The Layout Inspector gained new features, including some functionality previously provided by the deprecated Hierarchy Viewer and Pixel Perfect tools:. The Palette in the Layout Editor has received many improvements:. You can use the new Convert view command in the Component tree or design editor to convert a view or layout to another type of view or layout.
You can now easily create constraints to items near the selected view using the new Create a connection buttons in the view inspector at the top of the Attributes window. The behavior of the Use same selection for future launches option in the Select deployment target dialog has been made more consistent.
If the Use same selection option is enabled, then the Select deployment target dialog opens only the first time that you use the Run command until the selected device is no longer connected. When targeting a device running Android 8.
This is possible because the resources are contained in a split APK. For details of what's new and changed in the emulator since Android Studio 3. To see keyboard shortcuts for many commands, just hold the mouse pointer over a button until the tooltip appears. Commands that were previously under this menu have been moved. In many cases, the functionality available through the Device Monitor is now provided by new and improved tools.
See the Device Monitor documentation for instructions for invoking the Device Monitor from the command line and for details of the tools available through the Device Monitor. Simply ignore this error and click Cancel to resume the installation.
This is a minor update to Android Studio 3. Android Plugin for Gradle 3. When using the new plugin with these large projects, you should experience the following:. For more information about what's changed, see the Android Plugin for Gradle release notes.
If you're ready to upgrade to the new plugin, see Migrate to Android Plugin for Gradle 3. So with this release, Android Studio includes Kotlin language support for Android development. To get started, read how to add Kotlin to your project. You can now use certain Java 8 language features and consume libraries built with Java 8. Jack is no longer required , and you should first disable Jack to use the improved Java 8 support built into the default toolchain. To update your project to support the new Java 8 language toolchain, update the Source Compatibility and Target Compatibility to 1.
To learn more, read how to use Java 8 language features. The new Android Profiler replaces the Android Monitor tool and provides a new suite of tools to measure your app's CPU, memory, and network usage in realtime. You can perform sample-based method tracing to time your code execution, capture heap dumps, view memory allocations, and inspect the details of network-transmitted files. The event timeline at the top of the window shows touch events, key presses, and activity changes so you have more context to understand other performance events in the timeline.
Then, you can troubleshoot CPU performance issues using a variety of data views and filters. The Memory Profiler helps you identify memory leaks and memory churn that can lead to stutter, freezes, and even app crashes.
It shows a realtime graph of your app's memory use, lets you capture a heap dump, force garbage collections, and track memory allocations. For more information, see the Memory Profiler guide. The Network Profiler allows you to monitor the network activity of your app, inspect the payload of each of your network requests, and link back to the code that generated the network request.
For more information, see the Network Profiler guide. Android Studio now allows you to profile and debug any APK without having to build it from an Android Studio project—as long as the APK is built to enable debugging and you have access to the debug symbols and source files. This displays the unpacked APK files, but it does not decompile the code. So, to properly add breakpoints and view stack traces, you need to attach Java source files and native debug symbols.
The new Device File Explorer allows you to inspect your connected device's filesystem, and transfer files between the device and your computer. This replaces the filesystem tool available in DDMS. For more information, see the Device File Explorer guide. Android Studio also includes a new modularize refactoring action to help you add support for Instant Apps in an existing project. In the dialog that appears, select the module where the classes should go and click OK.
For more information, see how to create an Android Things project. Image Asset Studio now supports vector drawables and allows you to create adaptive launcher icons for Android 8. For more information, read about Adaptive Icons. To support the new font resources in Android 8. The layout editor can also preview the fonts in your layout.
To try downloadable fonts, ensure that your device or emulator is running Google Play Services v For more information, read about Downloadable Fonts. The Firebase Assistant has been updated with a new tutorial to test App Indexing. The App Links Assistant has been updated with the following new capabilities:.
Android Studio now supports a special tag in the manifest file that allows you to test your intent filter URLs. These are the same tags that the App Links Assistant can create for you.
If any one of the test URLs does not pass the intent filter definition, a lint error appears. Such an error still allows you to build debug variants, but it will break your release builds. The Layout Editor has been updated with a number of enhancements, including the following:. The Layout Inspector includes enhancements to make it easier to debug issues with your app layouts, including grouping properties into common categories and new search functionality in both the View Tree and the Properties panes.
You can now use the APK Analyzer from the command line with the apkanalyzer tool. It will eventually replace the DX compiler, but you can opt-in to use the new D8 compiler now.
DEX compilation directly impacts your app's build time,. And when comparing the new D8 compiler with the current DX compiler, D8 compiles faster and outputs smaller. To try it, set the following in your project's gradle. For more information, see the blog post about the D8 compiler. This makes it easier to keep your libraries up to date, especially when using a continuous integration CI system.
All new projects now include the Google Maven repository by default. As of this writing, most Nokia devices will get the update to Android 11 as their second and last major OS upgrade.
