Android Studio 3.2 officially release
Android Studio is the official integrated development environment (IDE) for Google’s Android operating system, built on JetBrains’ IntelliJ IDEA software and designed specifically for Android development. It is available for download on Windows, macOS and Linux based operating systems. It is a replacement for the Eclipse Android Development Tools (ADT) as primary IDE for native Android application development.
Android Studio was announced on May 16, 2013 at the Google I/O conference. It was in early access preview stage starting from version 0.1 in May 2013, then entered beta stage starting from version 0.8 which was released in June 2014. The first stable build was released in December 2014, starting from version 1.0.

Changelog
A new application publishing format, Android App Bundle, is used in Android Studio 3.2. With very little work, we can use Android Studio to build an application installation package. Once the app installer is uploaded to Google Play, developers can distribute smaller, optimized apps to users. Early adopters have seen 11% to 64% savings in new application sizes compared to traditional APK apps.
Another feature worth noting is the Energy Profiler. This new analyzer provides us with a set of tools that can help diagnose and improve the movie impact of your application. Better device battery life is one of the most important user appeals. With Energy Profiler in Android Studio 3.2, we can ensure that the app uses the right power source at the right time to improve device battery life.
Finally, let’s take a look at the new Android Emulator Snapshots feature. By using this feature, we can quickly get a snapshot of the current state of the simulator, including the current state of the screen, applications, and settings. We can restore or launch to your simulator snapshot in 2 seconds. For any application developer looking for ultra-fast startup time or looking to run tests in a predictable Android environment, Android Emulator Snapshots is a game change feature for application development.
In addition to these main features, Android Studio 3.2 has 20 new features and many improvements in stability and quality. With Android Studio 3.2, you can also experience the latest technology, from Android Jetpack to the latest Google artificial intelligence API (including Android Slices).
