I want to update my Android Studio to the latest version. Right now I am running 1.0.1. I am a beginner in android programming. I started learning quite long ago but couldn't continue. Now I want to get back but the problem is that when I click update, it takes me to https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/download/studio/canary/latest which is the canary build. I want the dev channel version. I also have Dev Channel selected in the Updates settings. A little bit of help is much appreciable.
I am running on Ubuntu 15.10. Intel i5-4430, 4GB RAM.
Here's the Screenshots:

(Dosen't let me post pics or more than 2 links)
Here are the latest dev versions , but you should install the preview 2 version in the canary channel due to bug corrections (but it's possible that it introduce new bugs). If you don't want to take risks then install the Stable version (the dev channel list in the link has an stable version). It's important to note that you need to download all again because your Android Studio version is very old. Note that the 2.2 (preview) version comes with new features like the new layout editor.
Your version cannot be upgraded via a standard patch. You need to download the whole thing again. If you don't want the canary build you can always google where the stable channel downloads are located
https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/download/studio/dev
Grab the dev Version here. :)
Also you can't download and install the update automatically, you'll have to download the zip, extract it and execute studio.sh

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 am using android studio version 2.1.1 from developer channel. I got update notification from android 2.2 preview in canary channel. But I am not able to directly update 2.1.1 to 2.2 preview. It asks for separate download of version 2.2 preview of android studio.
Can anyone help if i don't want to separately download android studio 2.2 preview and want to directly update over android studio 2.1.1?
Here is attached screenshot for the same.
If i click on Download button it takes me to the downloads site instead of direct update over 2.1.1
If you are using stable or beta version, you will not be able to directly update it. However you can update it to any beta/stable version but not to the preview version.
It is recommended to run preview version stand alone, so it will not affect your current stable/beta version.
We are not offering patches to ensure we do not disrupt your current
stable configurations with our first 2.2 preview. Please download a
full IDE image linked below to ensure you have the correct JDK bundled with the installation.
Note : We recommend you keep 2.1.1 and 2.2 Preview 1 installed side by side
Yes, to update to Android Studio 2.2, you need to download only IDE file from the download site.Just replace downloaded IDE file to your existing IDE file.
if you are updating through canary/dev channel than you will have to download whole file of android studio, you will be redirected to download page of studio
if you are updating through stable channel than you get option for
update and restart

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.

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.
I'm an old developer (Active since the Z80 days) starting fresh with Android.
The Android Developers page recommends installing Eclipse before installing the Android SDK.
It also states "There are known issues with the ADT plugin running with Eclipse 3.6. Please stay on 3.5 until further notice."
The Eclipse download page seems to offer 11 different flavors of the package. None mention Android and all seem to be the Version 3.6 that the Android Developers pages recommends avoiding. - What does one do?
Comments welcome

Get version 3.5 of Eclipse for Java Developers (you can reach this page via the "Older versions" link on the main download page). One of the problems I had with 3.6 was that autocomplete would freeze up for seconds at a time, trying to look up Android source. Until they fix that, 3.5 is better.
Once you've installed Eclipse, then you can follow the instructions to install the Android plugin.
What I'm running is Eclipse Galileo 3.5.0 and works great for me.
You want to download the "flavor" labeled Eclipse IDE for Java Developers from eclipse.org
I got MotoDev which is a complete Eclipse install with the Android SDK. It has emulators for all Moto phones. Perferct start in my opinion. Plus it's all Eclipse so you can all all the other options you want.
If you are interested download here:

have fun, I am.
I'm working on an Android project now where everyone (about 12 people) are using the Eclipse Galileo IDE 3.5.2. That decision was made last year when that version was relatively current. But we're at a good milestone where, if we wanted to make any changes, this would be a good time to do it, although we're not having any problems with Galileo. We're using the latest SDK.
Where can I get an idea of what the differences and improvements are between the different versions of Eclipse Classic's, (e.g. Galileo vs Helios) so I can form an opinion about whether we should switch to the latest version? (the latest version of Classic is 3.6)
Thanks for any comments.
The Eclipse Project download page for each major release has a link to a New and Noteworthy page which has an overview of the new stuff.
