Is there a place where Google publishes source codes for canary builds of Android studio? I can see tags for various versions in here, but the most recent version there is the stable 4.0 version, where I would need a developer snapshot of the current 4.2 version currently being developed.
Think you might have went through this. If not, please check this out

Hi I have Android Studio 3.0 Beta 7 and I want to update it to new version Android Studio 3.1 Canary.
It shows this dialog. Download button takes me to this page https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/index.html?utm_source=android-studio and suggest to download complete IDE. Shouldn't it download updated patches ? or Is this for me only
3.1 is a future release, which apparently isn't a patch for 3.0.
IntelliJ IDEA, which Android Studio is based on, does the same thing
And as #CommonsWare mentions, the Canary is pre-beta releases, so it's often used for those who want to use possible breaking changes.
The reason you downloaded 3.0 beta in the beginning was to get Kotlin, and whatever other changes, probably.
If that is the case, you can download 3.0 stable now.
I have older version of the android studio and I am happy from that. I think in newer version of the android studio, the proguard has been updated also.
Now, I want to have the updated version of proguard in my android studio. Is it possible?
You could download a zip distribution of a newer Android release and replace files manually. However this might not work at all because of incompabilities.
I recommend you to update to the latest Version. It has improved a lot since 1.0, but it hasn't changed much (instead added) so you will be able to use it without problems. To use the newer proguard you just have to change one line per gradle script once, which is really no big deal.
Android SDK Manager does not have different proguard feature available as they have like Android support library , Android support reposatory , Google play services and many more but not proguard.
so according to me it is not possible to update only proguard in android studio.
using Android Studio for development. Last week I discovered really neat feature in IntelliJ IDEA IDE, which when debugging Java app shows listing of variables next to the line of code. It is really helpful.
I have been wondering if the same option can be enabled in AS, since it uses the same core? Anybody knows? I would really love to use it in AS as well.
Here is screenshot what I am talking about.:
Android Studio 1.2 Preview 1 has been released just this week, and is the first version of Android Studio based on IntelliJ 14.
Since the feature you're describing was introduced in IntelliJ 14, Android Studio 1.2 will contain this feature as well:
Please note that this is an alpha release, so expect to encounter bugs.
That's a new feature of IntelliJ IDEA 14, as you can see here.
Android Studio is based on IntelliJ IDEA 13, so currently it is not possible to have such feature. Anyway if you want to have it you can always download IntelliJ IDEA 14 and use the Android plugin, which covers the same funcionality that Android Studio does:
From Jetbrains FAQ:
When can I get the Android Studio features in IntelliJ IDEA?
The EAP of IntelliJ IDEA 13, which includes all of the Android Studio
features except for the redesigned new project wizard and the App
Engine cloud endpoints integration, is available now. The remaining
features are going to be integrated in the coming weeks.
See more at: http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2013/05/intellij-idea-and-android-studio-faq/#sthash.OPJSeIA2.dpuf
To Download this plugin in IDEA 14, go to Settings, Plugins and then Search for Android Support:
Android Studio Preview has recently been updated to use IntelliJ IDEA 14. If you want to get the new updated make sure you are set to receive updates from the Cannery channel.
To do this go to Android Studio > Check for updates...
Then Click the Updates text and select the channel you wish to receive updates from.
Is there anyone who knows when NDK will be added to android studio? Of course there are some ways to add NDK to android studio but they are not official.
EDIT : NDK support in Android-Studio will be available in version 1.3. The preview is now available as an update patch on the canary channel.
Here is the annoucement
Here is the canonical feature request regarding ndk support in Android Studio:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=55331
The "roadmap" for android tools mention that the NDK integration is currently planned after gradle 1.0... and gradle-plugin for Android 1.0 is out now.
As far as I know Google never communicates any release date for this feature (and it has never been a Google's habit to communicate a release date for anything either)
To answer your question : "so far, nobody knows."
Is it possible at the moment to add the Android Studio extensions to a current IntelliJ IDEA installation?
Xavier Ducrohet and Tor Norbye mentioned in their talk, that Android Studio is an extension to the Community Edition of IntelliJ IDEA and that it's not a fork. So it should be possible to add the extension.
Is there an easy way to do so and probably to revert?
They also mentioned in their talk, that Android Studio uses Gradle as default build system. This should break the builds of current modules. Is this correct?
Thanks for the answers, but I finally found the corresponding statement by JetBrains: http://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2013/05/15/intellij-idea-is-the-base-for-android-studio-the-new-ide-for-android-developers/
You can upgrade by hitting help -> Checking for updates and then choose Early Access Program as channel in the Update settings. You should receive a notification, that version 13 is available.
This EAP version contains almost all Android Studio features except the new Project Wizard and the App Engine Cloud Endpoints, but they will come soon. The reason for the delay is the Google IO, in the future new Android Studio and IntelliJ versions will be synced (mentioned in the comments of the blog post).
I guess it will be at androidstudio but the project is currently empty.
The installation page is here: Android Studio.
From what I understand in the download page & from what they said in the conference, it's a stand alone IDE based on the intelliJ, but i'm skeptical to whether one can get it as an extension to an already installed intelliJ IDEA.
About the build - in Migrating from Eclipse page they explain how to generate Gradle build files for your projects in Eclipse and then import those projects to Android Studio. It's pretty simple and straight forward.
