+Note: There is not a patch update available from +0.1.9 to 0.2. To update from Android Studio 0.1.x to 0.2.x, you must +install a new Android Studio bundle from this page. The reason for that is that we have made +changes to the bundled SDK such that it includes a pre-configured local Maven repository +which can serve up the v4 support library and which is required for creating new projects.

Android Studio v0.2.x (July 2013)
+
-
+
- Merged in the latest IntelliJ codebase changes. Includes fixes for issues reported by Studio users such as tweaks to Linux font sizes and font rendering. +
- Android Gradle plug-in updated to 0.5.0.
+
Caution: This new version is not backwards compatible. + When opening a project that uses an older version of the plug-in, Studio will show an error + stating Gradle <project_name> project refresh failed. See Troubleshooting below for details.
+The updated Gradle plug-in includes the following changes:
+-
+
- Fixed IDE model to contain the output file even if it's customized through the DSL. Also
+ fixed the DSL to get/set the output file on the variant object so that it's not necessary to
+ use
variant.packageApplication or variant.zipAlign
+ - Fixed dependency resolution so that we resolved the combination of (default config, + build types, flavor(s)) together instead of separately. +
- Fixed dependency for tests of library project to properly include all the dependencies + of the library itself. +
- Fixed case where two dependencies have the same leaf name. +
- Fixed issue where Proguard rules file cannot be applied on flavors. +
All Gradle plugin release notes are available are here: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system.
+
+ - Fixed IDE model to contain the output file even if it's customized through the DSL. Also
+ fixed the DSL to get/set the output file on the variant object so that it's not necessary to
+ use
- Gradle errors from aapt no longer point to merged output files in the build/ folder, they + point back to the real source locations. +
- Parallel Builds. It's now possible to use Gradle's parallel builds. Please be aware that + parallel builds are in "incubation" (see Gradle's + documentation.) This feature is off by default. To enable it, go to + Preferences > Compiler and check the box Compile + independent modules in parallel. +
- Further work on the new resource repository used for layout rendering, resource
+ folding in the editor, and more:
+
-
+
- Basic support for .aar library dependencies (e.g. using a library without a local copy of + the sources). Still not working for resource XML validation and navigation in source editors. + +
- Cycle detection in resource references. +
- Quick Documentation (F1), which can show all translations of the string under the caret, + will now also show all resource overlays from the various Gradle flavors and build types, as + well as libraries. They are listed in reverse resource overlay order, with strikethrough on + the versions of the string that are masked. +
- Fixes to handle updating the merged resources when the set of module dependencies + change. +
- XML rendering fixes to properly handle character entity declarations and XML and unicode + escapes. +
- Save screenshot support for the layout preview and layout editor windows. +
- Template bug fixes. +
- Lint bug fixes. +
- Various fixes for crash reports. Thank you, and keep filing crash reports! +

+Troubleshooting
+
+Figure 1. Error dialog when opening an existing project.
+Error: Gradle project refresh failed
+ +Android Studio 0.2.0 has updated the Gradle plug-in to 0.5.0, which is not backwards compatible. +When opening a project that uses an older version of the plug-in, Studio will display the error +shown in figure 1 in the upper right corner of the IDE. +To resolve the error, you must change the version of the Android Gradle plug-in to 0.5.0.
+ +-
+
- Click the link in the error dialog Search in build.gradle files. If the dialog
+is no longer visible, click Event Log
+
in the bottom-right corner of the IDE,
+then click Search in build.gradle files.
+ - Double-click the line under the build.gradle usage. For example:
+ classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4. This opens the project
+
build.gradlefile.
+ - Edit the
classpathto change the gradle version to0.5.+. + For example: ++dependencies { + classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+' +} ++
+ - Save the file and rebuild your project. +
+Figure 2. Error dialog when creating a new project +or opening a project using the support library.
+Error: Failed to import Gradle project
+ +If, after updating to Android Studio 0.2.x and creating or opening a project, you receive an +error stating "Could not find any version that matches +com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.+", then you must install the Android Studio +Repository. This was likely caused because you're pointing Android Studio to an external +Android SDK location that does not have the new Maven repository included with Android Studio +0.2.x. This new Maven repository is used by the new build system for the Support Library, instead +of using the Support Library JAR files, so must be present in the SDK.

- Open the Android SDK Manager. +
- Expand the Extras directory +and install Android Studio Repository. +
