When an Android Studio Canary had a feature that you loved, but the RC1 took it away… 🤷♂️
Happened to me with resizable Compose previews - present in Android Studio Narwhal Feature Drop Canary 9, but not there anymore in RC1.
This made it sooo easy to test layout changes for bigger/smaller screens!
Woohoo - my talk 'Kotlin on CRaC - new JVM features to speed things up' was accepted! 🥳
@droidcon.bsky.social Berlin, here I come! 🌟🤩😻
💡 Did you know that you can zoom Compose previews in Android Studio by holding the ⌘-Key and scrolling?
This is really useful!
Compose Preview scrolling gets interrupted when trying to scroll over the headers.

Damn, the Android 16 update really burns my Pixel 6 battery like crazy. See:

Google: please fix your broken software!
If you don't have Android 16 yet, I recommend blocking the update!
Ah, Compose previews on the most recent Android Studio Narwhal 2025.1.1 - one of these *definitely* is not a dark theme.
Bug seems to be reported already: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/427929844
Trying to experiment with JDK 24 with CRaC support.
Tried it in a Linux docker image because I know the feature is only supported on Linux, but it fails because of course my Mac does have arm64 rather than x86_64 architecture.
Much slower qemu, here we go…
