Android Studio 2.2 Beta Ships With Beta GPU Debugger
Android developers announced the release today of the Android Studio 2.2 integrated development environment with many changes.
Android Studio 2.2 features a new user interface designer to quickly create app UIs, a new flexible layout manager as well, improved C++ support as well as CMake support, an APK analyzer, Instant Run improvements, an experimental build cache to reduce compile times, virtual sensors support in the Android emulator, an Espresso Test Recorder to record UI interactions with apps, and much more.
Of interest to some Phoronix readers will also be the GPU Debugger being in beta. The GPU Debugger allows capturing OpenGL ES commands on an Android device and can then be replayed from inside Android Studio. This debugger also allows fully inspecting the GPU state.
